The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, January 9, 1898, Page 24

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JANUARY 9, 1898 LANS are under way to start a P farm in Finland where plants will be grown by electricity. Prof. L. H. Bailey of Cornell has been asked to go there and conduct a serles of experiments in electrical plantgrow- ing, in conjunction with Professor Lemstrom of the University of Hel- singfors. The experiments to be car- ried on have nothing to do with the electric light or with the running of the electric wires through the soll for the purpose of forcing the growth of plants by direct current stimulation. They are to be based on some pertinent observations made by Lemstrom, of the effect of the aurora borealis on the plant growth of the north. It is a well-known fact that the plants of the north arrive at maturity in a much shorter period of time than those plants which are grown further south. It is necessary that these plants should arrive at maturity very quickly, inasmuch as the summer season in the north is very brief, and it has always been looked upon as a wise provision of providence that the plants were en- abled to accomplish their business in life in so short a time. Professor Lem- strom, however, casting & e the prov- idential idea, states that the rapid growth of plants in the far north is directly to the light of the aurora Light is one of the necessary ymoting plant growth and of continuing the daylight by substituting in its place electric light for the purpose of incr ing the number of “growing ho of plants h already been proven. In addition to the fact that ht of the aurora might tend to se the mber of growing hours plants of the north, Lemstrom ds that they are also stimulated by the presence of the large amount of atmospheric electricity, to which, as it is contended, thepresence of the aurora is due. Lemstrom, in furtherance of his as been carrying on a serfes of 1ts in which plants have been subjected to atmospheric electricity But these experiments, while in a measure thorough, have not been car- ried out on a sufficiently extended scale to warrant any large assumption being made in the matter. If the plans of the two experimenters are carried out the manner which is now contemplat the result will be an 8 of a decidedly plcturesque character. It is proposed to erect a line of posts around this farm or fleld in which th experiments are to be rom post to post, threugh > the ground, wires will be ched, and at convenient distances along these wires small knobs or points will project. A static current, such as produced by the Holtz machine, will be sent over the wires, and will be allowed to jump across the open space between the wires from one point or knob to another. A constant flow of electric- s SCIENTISTS HAVE WATCHED THE EFFECT OF THE AURORA BOREALIS ON PLANT LIFE AND WILL RUN A FART ON THE SAME PRINCIPLE. ity through the air will thus be ac- complished, and the surrounding at- mosphere will be, in a measure, sat- urated with the current. At least this is the idea of the experi- menters; certainly at night the scene should be very picturesque. The tiny points of flame jumping from wire to wire, from knob to knob, in a back- ground of darkness, ought to create a picture such as might be thought to exist only in the fabled forms of fairy- land. Professor Bailey, in speaking of the scheme, says: to the appl AS THE ELECTRIC FARM IN FINLAND WILL LOOK WHEN LAID OUT. “Our con iments point )sphe ity to the growing of plan om and myself have devis scheme by which we are to wor on—some work to be carr Grandeau were designed to determine this point. Plants were grown in the free atmosphere, which is always in a greater or less state of electrification, and also in a wire cage from which the atmospheric electricity was exclud- ed. Maize in the free air was in every way better than the other, not only in the bulk of all its parts, but in the amount of ash, and of both nitrogencus phere and plant growing, and thought that the electrification of the atmos- phere had a great deal to do with the a growth in the Arctic regio He went in to Spitzbergen for the purpose of inves- 1 on in tigating the electr 1 phenomena and nland and some to be carried on in the meteorology of plant growing. rica.

His first experiments were made in the laboratory, and the results were so promising that he at once turned his attention to the field. He made an ex- periment on a small field of barley in Finland. One portion of the field was covered with small parallel wires, a meter apart and secured to porcelain insulators, which were secured to small posts on the margin of the fleld. At intervals of a half meter each wire was furnished with a small point, from which the current could discharge into the atmosphere. These wires were con- nected to the positive pole of a four- disc Holtz machine, which supplied the current. The current was supplied from the middle of June to the Ist of September, from 6 to 10 o'clock in the morning and from 6 to 9 in the evening. The barley was well up when the experiment began. The harvest showed that the electric plot was over 35 per cent ahead of the remainder of the field, and the yield and the quality of the grain were improved. “Having determined the good effects of atmospheric electricity in high lati- tudes, Lemstrom now carried his ex periments into France. Here he treat- ed cereals, garden vegetables and & variety of fruits. The result was equally good in the warm country. But although these experiments of Lem- strom have shown that the application of electricity to the atmosphere gen- erally influences plants profoundly, and is usually beneficial, we are yet uncertain as to how this effect is brought about. It is highly probable, however, as Lemstrom thinks, thatw the modification is not the direct result of the electrification of the plant itself, nor the atmosphere, but that they fol- low some chemical change in the at- mosphere which is engendered by the current. This is one of the problems we will attack while working in uni- son. If it is solved, we shall probably know better how far to go with this artificial plant stimulating process. In some cases it is found that stimulation is advisable up to a certain point, but from that point onward it becomes in- If we can reduce the system to a practical basis, our forthcoming experiments and those of the past will not be or have been in vain.” —_——————— “In about 280 years,” said the sclen- tist, “when the world’s population ex- ceeds 5,994,000,000, the earth will be un- able to find nourishment for her peo- ple, and they will be forced either to cannibalism or starvation.” “And just think, papa,” sald the daughter, “what trcuble there’ll be for us to get through the crowds on our bicycles!” EXRERRXRRER R R D HE first week of the New Year | more than fulfilled the brightest | ticipations of the most san-| ia pageant occupied | ays sharing the | .luncheons and mat} all on Wednesd g entertalnments society has enjoyed for | 2 .
