In plot No. was buried wire network con- hected to the terminal of 110-volt direct current The positive terminal was attached to small sprinking can with carbon electrode in It's cen ter. The can being filled, the water was sub- jected to electrolysis for several minutes. The plot was then sprnkled from the can, the theory being that the current might flow from the can, through the streams of water to the soil
 Plots Nos and were subdivided into four individual boxes two feet square, separated by porcelain insulators and arranged with carbon electrodes at each end To these electrodes were applied both direct and alternating currents
 After radish and lettuce seed had been planted and germination had begun, the various methods of identification tried with extreme care The result of the experiments showed that the plants in plot No. 1 grew in every instance far more rapidly than those in the other beds and more than double the normal growth as shown in the unelectriied bed
 From this the experimenters became convinced that identification of the ground by highfrequen- cy currents stimulated plant life to an extent that warranted a more complete investigation. So they selected two acres of fiat, rich ground
