Climate has such an important bearing, not only on the pro- 

 duction of our cereals, but on the production of grasses, that a 

 few tables should be introduced, showing the amount of precip- 

 itation for the growing months, as well as the annual raii fall. 

 It is equally important to know the temperature for the same 

 period. Dr. Geo. M. Chappel, of the U. S. Weather Bureau, 

 and J. R. Sage, of the Iowa Weather and Crop Service, have
