Coo! Summers lmil IDIO Seen

I)ES MOINES, la. < UP)—Farmers of Iowa never have experienced a real drouth, according to Charles D Reed, U. S. meteorologist. Even the famous drouth which damaged crops the Summer of 1934. was a period of "too much heat rather than "too little rain." Reed’s weather charts reveal. During June, July and August of 1934. Iowa received a total of 10.18 inches of precipitation. or 86 per cent of normal. There were 17 other summers out of 62 on record in which precipitation was less than for 1934 ami tw'o years pi c luced only 5 inches of rain during the growing season. Only one of the latter, Reed said, produced a smaller yield of corn than was produced in 1934. But Iowa’s 1934 summer was the hottest on record." Reed said, “and therein was the cause of the damage to crops.” While the 1934 precipitation was only slightly under normal, it was unable to compensate for the temperature which averaged 768 degrees, Reed explained. The water needs of plant life are often doubled when temperatures rise 5 degrees above the usual summer scale. The meteorologist believes that the temperature curve which produced unusual heat during the past several years is due to move downward during the next several growing seasons. Both professional and amateur, longrange forecasters agree that the next three to four years should average below normal in temperature, Reed said. Notations in weather bureau records as far back as 1932 disclose that Reed then predicted a cycle of cooler summers that by 1939 and 1940 would shorten the growing season to a point where a large portion of the Iowa corn crop will be damaged by frost. Reed is confident that temperatures lather than the quantity of rainfall is the most important factor in crop development. To substantiate this belief, Reed points to the fact that in 1933 only 8.1 inches of rain fell in. Iowa, as compared to 10.18 in the drouth season of 1934. Yet 1933 produced a bumper crop while 1934 was severely damaging to corn, particularly in the southern sections. The summer of 1935, while averaging nearly a whole degree above norm.d, was the coldest since 1929, Reed said. During the past 18 months, Reed pointed out, Iowa has experienced alltime extremes of heat and cold.
