Dry farming in relation to rainfall and evaporation . ti II1 III Fig. 2.âChart showing the monthly distribution of the rainfall at representative stations in the Great Plains, Intermountain, and Pacific coast regions. The length of the black lines in each diagram rep- resents the monthly precipitation at that place, beginning with January on the left. The scale in inches given on the right of each diagram can be used to find the actual amount of the monthly rainfall. For example, the average monthly rainfall at Bismarck, N.

The length of the black lines in each diagram rep- resents the monthly precipitation at that place, beginning with January on the left. The scale in inches given on the right of each diagram can be used to find the actual amount of the monthly rainfall. For example, the average monthly rainfall at Bismarck, N. Dak., for June is seen to be inches, while for July it is only a little more than 2 inches. It will be noted that in the Pacific coast region the rain comes principally during the first and last months of the year, that is, in the winter, while in the Great Plains the rain comes principally during the middle of the year, that is, in the summer months. of the Great Plains, the winter and spring rainfall of the Inter- mountain district, and the winter rainfall of the Pacific coast region. These three types are illustrated in figure 2, which shows the monthly rainfall for three stations in each of these regions. It will be noted that for Bismarck, N. Dak., North Platte, Nebr., and Amarillo, Tex., which are typical Great Plains stations, the rain occurs principally during the months of June, July, and August, and that the winter 188
