summer. It is only during the two 

 months on either side of Christmas that 

 the growers are at all concerned about 

 Old Sol. The half dozen cities worst 

 oflf at this period are Cleveland, Ithaca, 

 N. Y.; Erie, Pa>; Elkins, W. Va., and 

 Seattle and Spokane, "Wash. 



Not a Matter of Latitude. 



Oddly enough, the two extremes in 

 the matter of sunshine during the dark 

 months, if we leave out of considera- 



tion the southwest, are both on the 

 Pacific coast. In these four months 

 Spokane receives 253 hours and Seattle 

 266, while Los Angeles gets 927. 



It should be said in parenthesis that 

 the figures used in this article are aver- 

 ages for periods extending from twenty 

 to forty years, taken from the latest 

 bulletins of the United States Weather 

 Bureau covering this subject. 



From the odd observation just noted 

 it will be seen that the variation in 



sunshine is not dependent upon longi- 

 tude. Nor is the variation in actual 

 hours of sunshine dependent wholly 

 upon the difference in latitude, although 

 possible sunshine is. As evidence of 

 this, notice that Bismarck, N. D., which 

 is not far from the Canadian border, 

 receives for the four months considered, 

 623 hours, while Galveston, on the Gulf 

 of Mexico, has 646 hours, and their 

 totals for the year vary about in the 

 same proportion.
