That the effect of electricity has been great is, however, 
seen from fields 1 and 2, where the experimental fields 
have a great overweight. That the control field 3 has 
such a great overweight over the corresponding experi- 
mental field results from the greater development of a 
couple of bushes. Excluding this number, the increase 
will be 79°3 per cent.

Though the harvest cannot be regarded as good, either 
from the experimental field or the control field, the increase 
on the experimental field is of such superiority that the effect 
of the electricity is evident. The percentage of increase is, 
on the average, from all three fields, 88:7 per cent. The 
earlier development is also noticeable. 
§ 8 On August 21, 1899, the rye and wheat were sown 
in rows. The sowing began at 6 a.m., and was finished 
at 7 p.m., in the following order :— .
