'Contributed by Ontario Department ot Agriculture, Toronto.) TMOSPHERIC 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, out in each case requires a liberal amount of precipitation. On the other hand the destructive frost of late spring and early autumn is an unpleasant but frequent visitor to the agriculturist. Man has harnessed much of nature and made it his ser- vant, but as yet no one-can say that man can control the aimespheric temperature, although he may modi- fy it in a few instances or overcome some of its disastrous effects. the sun. Qld Sol shines and heat and tight travel the intervening 92,000,- 000 miles of space with a velocity of 186,000 miles per second. Some of this heat is absorbed in its transit by dust particles, water-vapor and the alr itself, thus increasing the temperature of the air. The remain- der is absorbed: by the earth and thus raises its temperature and the tem- perature of the air in contact with it. The lattter has the greatest effect on air temperature, : i Local conditions have a great effect on temperature. Water roquires about five times the quantity to raise its temperature one degree as does soil, thus large water areas tend to prevent high temperatures. there is always slow evaporation and it requires about 300 times as much heat to evaporate one gallon of water t las to raiseits temperature one degree, the temperature is kept more mod- erate. Large swamp and bush areas free large quantities of water to the atmosphere, as' well as retaining the and consequenfly hav~ a moderating effect. : Guth : Frosts are' also prevented by water, swamp and bush areas because they produce a high humidity and are 'not 80 readily cooled as large land areas. Air of high humidity acts as a better blanket as it were, than the dry air. Also the temperature at 'which dew is formed is higher and the lowering of the temperature may be suiliciently arrested to eliminate any aauger of frosts. : ; The type of agriculture in any sec- {§ tion is decided by its air temperature. Any new crops which are imported must first become acelimatized to that Winter cereal crops of Ontario and fay crops are not affected by ex- tremely low temperature ' unless srowth is started by warm weather toilowed by low temperature or by neaving of the soil about the roots.

Connor of «ae Meteorological office, Toronto, an interesting relation betweem the growth and yield of wheat and the temperature is set forth. Both yield 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 weather in this period be warm and uly, With great temperature range, ine wheat plants wiii heaid quickly and tne harvest be iiight, but if the cool moist conditiohs exist heading will be postponed and the Yield in- creased. Uhus it remains a matter of seeding at the proper time to insure period. In the Western Provinces the sowing is early, namely, the last of April, throwing the critical period wbout the middle of July, the varia- wility of the temperature of which is che 'critical factor. However, the rule there is the earlier the better, while in. Ontario we are unable to Sow spring wheat sufficiently early to pro- cure that desired cool moist weather, aor can it be obtained by late sowing. - Most cereals are best adapted to ihe temperature regions, and espec- iaily to those of low temperature and small temperature range. quently the abeve 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- iety.----R. C. Moffatt, 0. A. College, Guelph, : : The Rural Teacher and Agriculture. For a teacher to be able of caover- ing the subject as a whele even in a most: superficial way is not to be thought of after one month of train. ing at a Summer School. Certain teachers may develop certain hobbies such as nature study or the school garden; botanist and interest the school in may make collections. of insects; an- other may lead the school in making a survey of the crops grown in the school district, or the breeds of live stock. These and other studies are important contfibutions to the study of agriculture,'and may be followed to great advantage as diversions from the regular school courses. President J. B. Reynolds, 0. A.
