No. 4.] TIMBER AS A CROP. 41 



The Chairman'. I think perhaps it is time we drew this 

 discussion to a close, from the fact that we are to ha\e 

 another lecture this afternoon, from a representative of the 

 \\'eather Bureau. So, if there is nothing more that is essen- 

 tial on this very interesting subject, we will consider it 

 closed. I now have the pleasure of introducing to you Mr. 

 J. Warren Smith of the Weather Bureau, who will speak 

 on "The weather and its influence on man and the produc- 

 tions of the earth."
