To Plant Crops in Light of Moon
Is Not Superstition, Says Botanist
The much-ridiculed superstitution
of planting corn in the light of the
moon has grown into a highly re
spected botanical theory. The story
dntes back to an old gardner in Eng
land who said that his cucumbers
erew better under moonlight
than in the case. Botanists
laughed at him, but he insisted he had
watched over his "cucumbers for
twenty years and knew what he was
talking about To humor him, plant
specialists experimented with seeds
exposed to moonlight compared to
seeds under cover and found a very
rapid growth in the exposed seeds and
almost no change in the covered ones.
Dr. E. C. Baly of Liverpool, Egg
land, brought news of the experiment
to Dr. D. B. Sears of the Botany de
partment, who, with the class in Plant
Chemics at the Agricultural College,
investigated the theory with astonish
ing results.
Moonlight is polarised light, and
polarized light digests the starch al-
