Professor Silas Wentworth of Los Gatos reports experiments on the Taylor ranch near Roseville California showing electric power lines over fields affect animal and wool growth. Sheep west of a road under current produced over two lambs per ewe while those east without influence averaged less than one, wool yields being 20 percent heavier in the electric field. Preparations seek extended power lines to amplify the effect.
