Votes and proceedings of the General Assembly of the state of New-Jersey . ideal for extensive crop pro-duction, but many specially adaptedcrops are grown successfully in theseregions. Winter wheat, winter rye, andthe cool season grasses are good exam-ples of crops well adapted to the Medi-terranean-type climate. Between latitudes 35° and 55° in theNorthern Hemisphere, and between 30°and 45° in the Southern Hemisphere, liethe bells of temperate climates. Theyexhibit large seasonal variations in pre-cipitation, temperatures, and solar en-ergy. In the temperate forest climatesprecipitation occurs the year round,similar to the tropical forest , within these varied temperateregions lie the grassland or steppe cli-mates. These climates exhibit wet anddry seasons, with high solar radiation,temperature, and precipitation occur-ring in phase in the late spring andsummer—a situation similar to that inthe tropical regions that have wet anddry seasons. These midlatitude grassland climates produce a unique soil formation with a virsti vol ixa CRS-252. Fig. 2. The climates of North America, Africa, andEurope. Solid lines show annual precipitation ininches; broken lines show annual temperature indegrees Fahrenheit. [Data from (6)] thick surface layer rich in plant nutri-ents and with topographic features wellsuited to extensive cultivation. This soilis a product of the natural climax vege-tation produced by a unique balancebetween precipitation and having these climates and soilsare extensive in North America, east-ern Europe, and Siberian Asia, and,to a much lesser extent, in tbe othercontinents. They have been describedas boundless and treeless—as seas ofgrass. They are subhumid to semiarid,lying between midlatitude humid forestclimates and the arid, cold desert cli-mates. Normally there is enough sea-sonal rainfall in these regions for thecultivation of plant species that cancomplete their life cycle in one grow-ing season. But drought
