GRAIN SORGHUMS IN THE TEXAS PANHANDLE. 
5 
Both the monthly and the annual precipitation fluctuate widely, as 
is shown in Tahle I. The rainfall in April amounted to less than three- 
tenths inch in several difi'erent years and to more than 5 inches in 
several other years, which is a difference of almost 5 inches between the 
extremes. June, July, August, and September each has about the 
same range of fluctuation as April. May has a wider range, amount- 
ing to about 8 inches. In the annual precipitation the extreme range 
is from 11 inches in 1910 to 32 inches in 1905.
