Can the Moon Make Potatoes Group

ton" of the moon sufices to create
oceanic tides. and. no doubt, at

have any influence upon the growth
of vegetation, or even upon the state
OF the weather?
Now let us turn TO the other uni
versally known luna influence, viz.
its light This, as already said. is
simply reflected sunlight. The most
careful measurements of its max
imum intensity, which, of course,
occurs at full moon make il equal
to about 1900 OOth Of the intensity
of sunlight. If then. the moon in
nuences vegetable growth by its
light, there must be something in
its relatively faint radiation that Is
far more powerful than any ele-
ment of sunlight, but how account
for that when all observation shows
that moonlight is nothing but a
feeble reflection Of sunlight
Nevertheless. il may be said,
moonlight VIGOROUSLY does have a
singular influence upon human feel

there not be something about it

The reply TO this is that il is an
argument not based upon any thor

sentiment has never been measured
or scientifically investigated and it
is pure assumption TO assert that. if
a real physical effect OF that kind
exists, it has any counterpart I'm the

The moon also very slightly eff
