stimulate the growth of plants in such environ
ment. There is ample evidence of the sound
ness of the theory within reasonable limits
Indeed, the benefit that may be conferred by
such electric discharges is illustrated by the
fourishihg development (until frostbitten) or
plants in the Arctic regions where there u.s. or
course, mighty little sunlight, but where the at
mosphere is heavily charged with electricity.
Moreover, preliminary experiments which were
recently conducted in England along the same
lines that Uncle Sam is pursuing indicated
that there was an increase of 80 to 40 per cent
in the yield of wheat that had been thus dosed
Will electricity, and the wheat likewise
brought a better price per bushel after a test
had evidenced that it was superior for bread
baking,
The officials of the department of agricul-
ture make it very clear that their present ven
ture in Observation-Disclosures the new activity is
termed-is purely experimental and they make
no prophecies as to just what they hope to
discover. The interesting point is that they
are determined to find out just how much
electricity will do to aid the farmer. They
have made the most elaborate plans, too, for
measuring the influence exerted. To this end
the experimental area has been apportioned in
fourteen plots of uniform size and all have
been planted in the same good grade of win
ter wheat. Seven of the beds lie under the
network of wires and thus receive the benefit

shower falls. BY conquering the yield from
the two plots in each pair and by contrasting
the production by the seven pairs OF beds the
officials will be enabled to gauge very accu-
rately just what influence the electrical factor
exerts on the harvest. 1t may be added that 1t
is not the intention at any time to keep the
electric current flowing over the wire-sheltered
area continuously day and night. That would
be likely to do more harm than good. Late
