Electric Current Is
Not Helpful to Seed
Claims Of Increased Yields
Not Substantiated.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.l
Claims made by some investigators
that treating the seed Of small grains
with electricity increases the yield
have not been by results
Of experiments by the United States
Department Of Agriculture. A process
patented and brought into use in Eng
land In 1917 under the trade name
'Wolfryn Electrochemical Process"
has been well advertised in that coun-
try, Canada. the United States, and
Australia. The process consists in sub
jecting the seed grain. to an electric
current (DC) passing through con-
Quoting solution in which the seed Is.
/ immersed. Some reports Indicated
that this electrochemical treatment
increased the yield 20 to 80 per cent.
and reduced the lbsses from bunt, rust
and wireworms. sz
The experimental methods adopted
blythe United States Department Of
Agriculture to determine the value Of
such treatment and the results OBJ
tanned have just been published in De-
partment Circular 3O5 which is now
ready for distribution. The investi-
gators conclude with the statement:
Data obtained from replicated plats
Of winter wheat harvested at the Ar
lington Experiment farm in 1921 and
1922 showed no benefit or profit result
ing from treating the seed electro.
chemically by the so-called 'Wolfryn'
process. Grain yields from all plats
sown with Extraordinarily !, treated
seed averaged III bushels per acre less
than yields from 9piats sown with UNI
treated seed. No effect Of the treat
ment on plant growth or disease infec-
. ton could be. observed"

Upper or lower?' inquired the
agent.
Whats the difference?" asked the
man.
"A difference of fifty cents in this
case" replied the agent. "The lower
is higher than the upper. The higher
price is for the lower. II you want
the lower. you'll have to go higher.
We sell the upper lower than the
lower. In other words, the higher

HOme-Run swatter Would Seek
 Fame As Crime DetectOr

NEW YORK, July 22.-After muf- dering pitching deliveries for several years, Babe Ruth, he of the colossal swat, has become interested in another angle of crime--that of trekking down human murderers.
 Leo H. Healy, assistant district at tOrney of Kings county, is tutor and guide for the Babes SherlOckian en- deavors.
 While Babe for years has been known as the prime detector of whether 0 ball is about to break up, down or sldewise, never before have his detecting powers been used on criminals.
 Recently Babe obtained a confession that is, a man had been shot and he confessed to the BambinO who shot him. Later the BambinO gum-foOted about Tn the dark after some ones body had been found, much punctured with bullet holes. t.
 Likes Action
 But the Bam likes lots of action. Maybe this explains why the Yankee slugger has turned to crime solving, for detectives can drive their motor cars as fast as they want, and traffic records show Ruth likes to hit Ter up His liz red motor car is now at the disposal of the district attorneys of flee, and Ruth himself often is at the wheel.
 The BAbe's interest in solving crimes is explained by his desire to become 6 lawyer and dedicate himself to public service, according to Attorney Healy his tutor.

singled and Jackson followed suit. Cavet attempted to sacrifice. but forced EwOldt at third. Schick hit a gEOunder to Rhode, who threw to second to get Cavet. Hartford tagged the base and threw back to Rhode to get Schick in n double killing. The throw was too late and meanwhile Jackson had been cir cling the bases from second and was on the home stretch. Rhodes throw to the plate was too late to catch Jack son. Gilbert singled, but Henry forced him at second.
 Barons Score
 The Barons scored two in the fifth on pair of singles and walk. Hartford singled and GanZel walked. Spencer moved them around sack with a sac rifice and Lundgren singled to right to score Hartford. Brausen hit q high fly to Hoffman and he muffed it, but got Lundgren at second on the play while Ganzel scored. Brausen was out attempting to steal second.
 Two fast doubles plays helped Lund- gren out of pair of holes and he pitch ed himself out of serious one in the eighth. Gilbert had opened the frame with double and was advanced on Henrys sacrifice. Lundgren made Tucker foul out to Spencer, but walked Hoffman. Lapan hit a fast grOunder to Hartford, who made nice stop of the ball and got Hoffman at,secOnd.
 Camp Elected
 Howard Camp was elected from the contest in the fifth by Umpire Me Gowan. Camp had hit ball into right field, which appeared to those looking directly down the right field line, fair by three or four inches. The hit was good for two bags, but McGowan ruled a foul ball. There followed quite a heated discussion, but Camp came back to bat and was out. Apparently some remark from Camp in the next frame from the bench irritated Mir. McGowan, for he declared the Baron right fielder out for the day and when Camp started out to his position after the side was out he was called back to the bench by the arbiter. Brenner went into the field E ..s
 Lundgren led the. Baron batters with two safeties out of twice at bat. EwOldt got two out of three for the Pels.
 In the last game of the series Wednes- day Roy Walker, the young semi-prO recently signed by the Barons, will work against "Shovef' Hodge, veteran right hand twirler. Walker has been hay ing tough breaks on the recent road trip and has received poor support. He has the stuff and control and with the aid of efficient work in the field should be able to cop the series for the Stewards.
