An examination of rainfall records at various stations in central and southern California shows a marked deficiency during this period with a minimum in 1896 cf less than five inches in Fresno and I'odesto, and 9. 31 inches in San Francisco, a deficiency unprecedented since 1850. That the rainfall in California has a direct relation- p ship to crop yields is shown "by Eraser in a diagram representing the curves of annual wheat production from 1868 to 1897 and of spring rainfall during the same ...period. The wheat curve, which shows a marked decrease of product as compared with the previous decade, coincides with the rain curve with striking accuracy, giving evidence of "but three exceptions. These occurred in the seasons 1888-89, 1889-9?), and 1896-97. In explaining them, the author says. "The former was a year of fair rainfall and big crops, which is accounted for by the splendid precipi- tation amounting to 8. 91 inches, which fell in November and December . . . With the very favorable distribution of the whole seasonal precipitation.
