. Carnegie Institution of Washington publication. Investigations at Peru, Nebraska. 37 soil was quite too low for maximum root development during the cold rainy month of April (c/. Lehenbauer, 1914). During May, a slow but uniform rise occurred, while differences between the temperatures on June 9 and 23 were quite pronounced. This ushered in a hot, dry period which extended to July 4. It is interesting to note that the deeper soils into which the new roots were extending were progressively colder. Undoubtedly temperature has a marked influence upon crop-root development under field conditions
