Show j Electricity and Plant Life. ! The theory has been advanced and i hacked up by experiments which are J at least interesting, that pointed leaves standing up at the top of growing grow-ing plants attract electricity from the ; atmosphere and that such electric forces aid materially in the growth of : plants so equipped by nature. One in-S in-S vestigator, R. E. Dimick of Almena, ; Wis., reports that vegetables which j were well cultivated have shown a smaller growth than the normal when I they had pointed wires stuck up I among them to act like lightning rods in drawing off the electricity which Mr. Dimick believes to be attracted by points and needful to plant life. |
