"A lew weeks ago there was convention of prac-

dresses one virtually escaped the attention of the
corps OF reporters. Yet of all the addresses none
was more pregnant of great possibilities

committee chairman, T. c. Martin of New York
an authority on things electrical He gave facts
and figures to show that plants electrically treated
grew much more rapidly than those growing undor

assume to say. He simply gave the results Of
experiments
The work was started on Moraine farm in +ho
fertile Miami river valley four miles south of Dav
ton, Ohio. DR.. Herbert G. Dorsey, an expert. had
charge of the experiments which were fostered
by the efforts of F. NJ TAFT, former president
OF the National Electric Light association.
In preliminary tests, according to Martins re-
port small plots were marked of for exposure
to different kinds of Identification To insure
that the soil OF one plot not better than that
of another top earth collected mixed and
sifted and then laid to the uniform depth of
seven inches over the entire area
In the soil Of plot No. 1 was buried a wire
screen. Over the plot was network of wire
stretched about fifteen inches from the ground
Connecting the network above the ground and
the screen below were several wire antennae
The screen connected to one terminal of
Tesla coil and the network to the other. A trans
former stepped 110-vot alternating current up
to 5000 volts, charging condenser of tinfoil and
glass plates, which discharged through primary
of the coil. About one hundred aud thirty watts
were operated for an hour each morning and

stem lamp with ruby bulb The light was

porcelain insuators and arranged with carbon
electrodes at each end To these electrodes were
applied both direct and alternating currents
After radsh and lettuce seed had been planted
and termination had begun. the various methods
of electrifcation 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 expermenters became convinced
that electrifcation of the ground by highfrequen-
cy currents stimulated plant life to extent that
warranted a more complete investigation. So
they selected two acres of fiat, rich ground.
