The lines running northand south, or from top to bottom, mark the precipitation. Map of Sorghum Belt. Showing Anniuil Precipitation and Days ofGrowing Season for the Several Sections. SORGHUM AREAS DEFINED 147 of the several areas, the figures showing the annual pre-cipitation for the territory included between the lines extending from left to right, or across themap, mark the average number of days in the growingseason for the several areas. This map illustrates on asingle page much of the preceding discussion. The datamaking this map possible were compiled after the fore-going maps had been prepared and the explanation putinto t3^pe, else the general plan of presentation mighthave been changed. The map is the result of months ofcorrespondence in an effort to obtain the data whichwould permit the placing of a particular line figures were not obtained in time to allow the use ofthe map in the way originally intended.
