GROWS SOY BEANS WITH ELECTRICITY Scores of Bulbs Hang in Darkened Barn. Times Washington Bureau. ISZ2 New York Avenue WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—Snapping their fingers at the sun and once even a God, Government scientists plan to grow a stand of soy beans with ordinary electric light. Planted in a darkened barn, the beans will be energized by scores of electric bulbs hanging from the roof, W. W. Garner, physiologist in charge, explained. The lights will be turned on at sunrise and off at sunset. The experiment follows a series of startling results obtained by Garner with lesser use of artificial sunlight. Mechanically prolonging, or shortening, the length of day, he has made the December poinsettia bloom in June and the summer iris bud in midwinter. He has kept wild violets blooming for nine months and has even succeeded in making the upper and lower parts of a yellow cosmos tyear flowers while the center of the stalk was still months behind. “Whether crops can ever be grown practically in total or partial artificial light depends chiefly," Garner asserted today, “on the price of electricity. There is no doubt that electric light will give plants the necessary energy. But that won’t help the farmer unless he is able to use artificial light in great quantities.” While Garner experiments with light, L. H. Flint, another Government -scientist, is busy testing the claim of an English Investigator that high-tension wires strung over planted fields will increase yields about 22 per cent. “We don’t know yet,” he said.

New System to Test Pupils 9 Intelligence A system of standardized tests for eighth grade examinations, designed to give some credit for the pupils’ intelligence and initiative in thinking out problems, has been adopted by the Indiana County Superintendents' Association, meeting at the Lincoln. The plan was devised by a committee of the associatidn which worked in cooperation with the Indiana University bureau of educational research. Dean H. L.
