(2) That nearly the whole of the Canadian west re- ceives more than 13 inches and less than 20 inches per year. (3) That the area of lowest precipitation is in south- eastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan, and the supply increases in every direction from this centre. The increase is greater both east and west than north. The two chief inferences from the data are,â1st. that the storage, conservation and efficient utilization of moisture are of very great importance, and 2nd, that extreme practices of "dry farming" woidd seem de- sirable in the drier areas.
