Abstract
THE general law of wheat production in England was stated in the Times of August 30, 1881, as follows: “The yield of wheat is proportional to the summer temperature, with the modifying conditions of rainfall, prevalence of cloud, character of the weather at blossoming time and during the harvest, and the state of growth at the commencement of the summer” and it was added, “The growing influence of a high or low thermometer is established by the observations of many years.” To test the law, superior and inferior harvests may be correlated with their summer temperatures and rainfall. For this purpose the meteorological records of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, will be used. The mean temperature of June, July, and August, and the total rainfall for these months, will be taken for the summer.
