tering politics in his home town,
Newark. n. J., and this decision may
take him from burlesque next year.
He thtnkshe has served the stage long

to outshine rival attractions in the

crowned with success than the crea-

FORCING GROWTH OF PLANTS
intelligence Of Man Is Enabling Him
to Become Master of Nature and
the Seasons.


BY degrees man is becoming mas
ter of the seasons. Light and cleo
triclty are being pressed into his serv-
ice, and he can already force on plant
growth so rapidly that he can beat
the ordinary process Of Nature by
many weeks.
One method is to treat seed, be-
fore planting it, with small doses of
hlgh-tension electricity. In 1910 trial
was made of this method near Burn
ham-on-Crouch, In Essex, England.
Spring wheat is usually sown in March
or April. On this occasion the wheat
Of which the seed had been treated
by this special process, was not sown
until July 10. 1t was up In five days.
and on September 16 was in ear. It
was reaped - weeks from the time II
was sown, whereas the ordinary time
for wheat to mature in that country
is IS weeks.
Another method Of forcing crops Is
to run current of electricity through
overhead wires. In this way the yield
Of oats and beans has been nearly dou-
bled. Experiments tried last year at
Lincluden Mains farm In Dumfries-
shire, were practically successful. A
third method is to use artificial ligh'
either electric or, better still, ace.y-
lene. Plants are thus made to grow
by night as well as by day. Cabbages
and lettuce are easily forced in this
way, but other plants such as carrots.
seem TO resent ii. Flowers bloom ear
ller under artificial light, and are more
brilliant.
