EXPOSED WATER AND FRESHLY FALLEN RAIN 



Bean [Phaseolus) 

 For several reasons the 1,800,000 and 10,000 cultures were dis- 

 carded. On May 2 in the 1,500,000 culture 4 seeds were partly up, 

 while in the control only 3 seeds were just appearing. 



Germination and growth have been slightly more rapid in the 

 seeds soaked in the water exposed to the rays of radium. 



Corn {Zea Mays)

 seeds, in the 10,000, eight seeds, and in the control culture four seeds.
