CROP GROWTH RELATION
: TO CLIMATE DISCUSSED
!. A. Blair, Scientist, Writes of
Possibilities for Making Accu-
rate Forecasts of Production.

. The exact relations between CHI
mate and the growth of crops and the
posi- bihties of accurate forecasts of
production are the subject of an inter-
Ssung article in a recent edition of
the Scientific Monthly by T. A. Blair.
{ Mr.. Blair shows in case of maize
that the United States weather bu-
reau has found July rainfall of less
than three inches means an average
yield of thirty bushels per acre in
the state of Ohio, and that a rainfall
Of nve inches or more results in
thirty-eight bushels. When the July
rainfall is three and one-uuarter
Inches the yield is 100000 bushels
greater than when it falls short of
that amount by half an inch.
In the four great maize-growing
ftates OF Indiana, Iowa. Illinois and
4iissouri the addition of half an inch
20 total of two and three-ouarfer
inches adds ten bushels per acre to
Ihe average yield.

"FREAK" EDITIONS or BIBLE
On Account of Their Peculiar Errors
Some OF Them Are Worth Con-
siderable Money.

Several examples OF "freak' edl-
tions Of the Bible recently came under
the auctioneer's hammer in London.
One of the most remarkable is known
as the big Bible In this, the con-
text Of the Ninety-first Psalm runs:
''Thou shalt not be afrayed for eny
bugges by nlght"-"bugges," in medic
val times. meaning nightmares and
other terrors.
Another curious example In the col
lection Is the 'Treacle Bible" In
which the passage, Jeremiah S:22
reads: There is no more triacle at
Gylead." The "Murderers' Bible"
takes its title from an error in the
translation of Jude, verse 8, which In
the Authorized Version runs: These
are murmurers, complainers = while a
curious misprlnt In the Beatitudes.
BLESSED are the place makers gave
rise TO one set of Bibles being known
as the "Plaee-m makers" edition.
Altogether there are no fewer than
ten 'freak" editions of the great book.
some of them are OF considerable value.
