In fact, if adjustment were made for the very unsatisfactory weather conditions in North America during [935-39 and the very good weather conditions from 1958 through 1960 in the same area, total output probably increased more in the underdeveloped areas. It is true, of course, that within each of the two areas and within each of the regions there were significant differences from country to country in the growth of output.
