Moonshine Farming. 



What influence, if any, has the moon on plant grozvthf Are there 

 any reliable data of experiments available? 



Very prolonged investigation by the Weatlicr Bureau determined 

 that no difiference was found in planting in different phases of the 

 moon. If we paid any attention to it, we should plant in the dark 

 of the moon, so as to get the plants up so that they could use the 

 little more light which the moon gives. It is, however, more import- 

 ant to have the soil right than the moon.
