RAINFALL At

Dickinson may be considered as a.
representative point as far as rainfall
is concerned for the district we are
Records have been kept
since 1892 and the average rainfall
based on a is year average is IS. II
This is distributed for the six
warmer months as follows:
The Dickinson press., 1910-02-19

~
The major portion of the rain comes
during the growing season. This may
or may not be the best distribution but
II is what we have. The total amount
seems to increase q little as we 60 east
or north and to decrease as we 60 west
and south. But the rainfall does not
vary more than an inch or 10 from the
amount given. v the entire area.
By studying the records, one notices
that In some years the rains are moi
well distributed. In 1900. for instance.
it was not until July that m inch or
more Of rain fell in any one month.
Even at that. the July rains were no
greater than the average April rains.
While such q condition is unusual, it is
one that must be looked for occasionally.
The farmer with experience knows that
very much depends upon the proper
distribution of the rains.
Another important thing is the charac-
ter Of the rains. Even in q dry period,
9 %t0rrential rain may do about as much
damage as 1t does good. Though pos
sessing a continental climate, we are
fortunate in having sthes minimum Of
~at0rrential rains compared with other dis
tricts having the same climate. Farther
south. in Texas for instance, t0rrential
rains ! much more common.

scents to be the simpler explanation and
until we see several dry year pass
without hot winds it will doubtless be
the better one. Old settlers say that q
hot wind may cause crops to sbrivel
even though there be q reasonable
amount of moisture in the ground.
KINDS OF WHEAT
1t is of considerable importance what
variety of wheat one grows within q
class, but it il of considerably more
importance as to the class of wheat that
is grown. Up to the present time
most of the wheat grown has been of
the ordinary sort, fife and blue stem
wheat. Durum wheat has been grown
more or less owe the entire region but
not systematically. There has been
much discussion of the value of durum
wheat for flour. We al not enter this
discussion at the present time but 1t
will be of value to present sume data
upon the comparative yielding capacity
of the two classes of wheats. In q word,
the durum wheat seems tn yield about
20 per cent more than the ordinary
wheats.
Accurate yields have been secured at
Dickinson for q period of four years
beginning with 1906. It is fair to
presume that the yields secured at
Dickinson are those which would obtain
over the region under discussion.
The following table shows the yields
of the two classes of wheats for the
period indicated in bushels per acre:

durum yielded SIS per cent more than

4 per cent less than common wheat and
in 1909 it yielded II per cent more
than common wheat. For the entire
period. durum has averaged in yield II
per cent more than the common wheat.
The ratio is seen to vary considerably
from n year to another. This varia-
ton may be explained in part if the
