AMOUNT AND DISTRIBUTION OF RAINFALL ON THE YIELD OF CORN T. K. WOLFE The purpose of this investigation is to study the relationship between the yield of corn and rainfall and to consider the influence of fertilizers on .the relationship. When irrigation is not practiced it is not possible to affect the amount of moisture which corn receives except through the medium of seedbed preparation and cultivation of the crop. On the other hand, the effect on the relationship, if any, by the use of fertilizers can be more easily produced. MATERIAL AND METHODS The data used in this investigation on corn yield and rainfall
