TMOSPHERIC temperature ! has ever been a matter of | much concern to agricultur- ists. A high temperature, { although necessary and beneficial in | some cases, is detrimental in others, | but in each case requires a liberal { amount of precipitation.

Water requires about five times the quantity to raise its temperature one degree as does soil, thus large water areas tend to prevent high temperatures. Also, as there {8 always slow evaporation and it requires about 300 times as much heat to evaporate one gallon of water 48 toraiseits temperature one degree, the temiperature is kept more mod- erate. Large swamp and bush areas free large quantities of water to the effect. Frosts are also prevented by water, swamp and bush areas because they produce a high humidity and are not so readily cooled as large land areas.

Winter cereal crops of Ontario and hay crops are not affected by ex- tremely low temperature unless followed by low temperature or by heaving of the soil avout the roots. Late spring and early fall frosts cause much damage. If the. temperature does not drop below 28 degrees Fah- renheit only the tenderest vegetation suffers, but, if below it, wholesale destruction results. High tempera- tures cause strong evaporation from prevent stunting or death itself. In a pamphlet by A. J. Connor of the Meteorological office, Toronto, an Interesting relation between the growth and yie and growth are increased by a low temperature and a low range in tem- perature. A critical period appears to exist in the latter part of the 90 days following sowing and if the weather in this periou be warm and dry, with great temperature range, the wheat plants will head quickly and the harvest be light, but if the cool moist conditions exist heading will be postponed and the yield in- creased. Thus it remains a matter of seeding at the proper time. to insure period. In the Western Provinces the sowing is early, namely, the last ot April, throwing the critical period about the midale of July; the varia- bility of the temperature of which is the critical factor However, the rule there is the earlier the better, while in Ontario we are. unable to sow spring wheat sufliciently early to pro- Cure that desired cool moist weather, nor can it be obtained by late sowing. Most cereals are best adapted to the temperature regions, and espec- lally to those of low temperature and small temperature range. Conse- quently the above temperature effect is applicable to all. Fruits as a rule require a higher temperature region but not a high temperature range. Many fruits, however, have a wide distribution and is the result of var- lety.--R. C. Moffatt, 0. A.
