The cycle OF bad crops which may
continue through one to four sea

logical crisis which itself extends
over several years, leading to alb
the crops in countries needing rain
by Withholding it. and then the coun-
tries which desire dry weather BY

Sir William says that the agree

economic records for the last five sue
cess1Ve epochs "a period totaling so
yearsl at intervals OF Is to 16 years

The experience Of three centuries
