MOON CAN 7 AFFECT
GROWING OF CROPS
Has as Little to Do With Them
'as With the Building OF
Fences.

Science has placed a bomb under the
old superstition that the moon aHects
the growing OF farm crops
It Is now convinced that the moon
has no more influence on crops than IL
has upon the temperature, or the
amount of rain, or the winds, or any
other weather element. 1t asserts tnat
the growth Of plants depends upon the
amount Of food in the soil and in the
air that Is available for them and upon
temperature, light. and moisture.
The moon obviously does not aHect
the character of the soil in any way
neither does It affect the composition
OF the atmosphere. The only remain
ing way in which 1t could lnfuence
plant growth, therefore. Is by its ilght:
Recent experiments show that iuii
daylight Is about 100000 times brighter
than fun moonlight, yet when plant
gets one one-hundredth part OF normal
daylight II thrives little better than
In absolute darkness. If one one-nun-
dredth part Of normal daylight is thus
too little to stimulate a plant. 1t seems
quite certain that n 6Oo,OO0th part can
not have any effect at all. IL is, there-
fore, a mere waste of time to think
about the moon in connection with the
planting OF crops.
The moon, say the scientists. has
nothing moro to do with this than II
has to do with the building of FENCES.

Of the innumerable things over which
It was once supposed to exert strong
influence.
