WASHINGTON. April 3 GoVern
ment agricultural experts have dis
covered that plant life seems to de
pend on light rather than tempera
tore for nourishment and may be
controlled by regulating the hours of
light and darkness.
.' The principle is revolutionary', b.'t
It rests on actual experiments . in
which it was , demonstrated ... that
plants subjected to alternate periods
of light and darkness in carefully
determined proportions could . be
brought to maturity at any time of
the year.
The discovery may be of the high

"Grcjri hoafee experiments," says
the announcement by the department
of agriculture, "prove that the flow
