upon altitude, rainfall and character! 

 of soil. An increase in altitude is 

 analogous to an increase of latitude, 

 and therefore when these lines cross 

 the higher altitudes they will naturally 

 bend toward the south. In regions of 

 great annual rainfall the line will also 

 bend southward, due to physiological 

 peculiarities of plant growth. While 

 the waters of the Great Lakes un- 

 doubtedly mitigate the severity of the 

 contineiital climate in that vicinity, 

 yet they also delay seasonal changes 

 and thus retard spring growth and 

 hence cause a later harvest. This ex- 

 plains why the lines in the vicinity of 

 the Great Lakes are bent southward." 

 An interesting map illustrates the 

 points made. 



Relative to the rate of progress of 

 corn planting the bulletin says: "At 

 the starting point, near Brownsville, 

 Tex., planting begins on the average 

 date of February 10. The movement 

 reaches the Tsitas-Oklahoma line on 

 the mean date of March 12, and there- 

 fore crosses Texas in thirty days, or at 

 the Nite of eighteen miles per day.
