Moon farming, nyi th« UnKed State* Department of Agriculture, haa no support from any scientific point of view. Most of the beliefs associated with moon farming are riot hased On the assumption that direct moonlight Is especially potent, but rather that the moon exercises some mysterious and occult 'powfer over mundane affairs. Even the light and heat from the :moon are jiot sufficient to affect plant growth materially. The moon does not govern agriculture because It has no appreciable influence on any of the* major conditions affecting the growth of plants. - „ Grave of John Paul Jonea The grave of John Paul Jones was discovered by (Sen.
