Is there anything in moon farming and have any tests j ever been made to find out??T. C. j B., Cumberland county, Ky. The only way the moon affects j agriculture is in the light it fur-! nishes to legthen out the day at j busy seasons and to make necessary | night trips easily. The moon has no 11 effect that we know of on the growth j of any farm crops, and science does | not find that it figures the least little! bit in the growth of any plant. The! time of planting need not be govern- \ ed by the moon, as it has all of its i phases in 28 days, and the crops will > get to enjoy new moon, full moon: . I and all the other periods several: times during its growing period. The French tried extensive experiments' to learn if there could be anything in j the old beliefs about the moon, and their results prove just what com-, mon sense teaches us, that the moon; need not be considered in our farm-, ing, stock raising or weaning babies, j This superstition about the moon is ; , not entirely a harmless thing, as it causes a good deal of financial loss on the whole. People miss a good opportunity to get a crop planted for , other work done while waiting for the moon to get right and they get : a poorer yield or get less work done. ! ?Southern Agriculturist. | The moon \ was casting shadows ; over a pair of lovers as they sat in 1 the park overlooking New York Bay., \ He glanced out and saw the Statue of Liberty rising in its ^majestic height in the shadowy gloom. ; !
