Abstract

Agricultural meteorology deals with the influences of weather on vegetation, particularly on animal life, vegetable food and textile sup- plies of the nations of the world. That agriculture depends both on the climate and the periodical variations of weather is a well known fact. But the relations are very complicated and there is difficulty in separating the effects of the several factors. So much so, the progress made in applying the data in meteorology to the purposes of agri- culture is not as much as might have been expected. The greatest obstacle to the progress is the great inaccuracy in the data expressing acreage and yield. The meteorologist engaged in the study of weather and crop relations is constantly confronted with the internal evidence of gross inaccuracies and lack of homogenity in acreage and yield values.
