@ily sufficient to ensure abundant crops, occurs within
the period usually considered as the open growing season,
April to September, inclusive. The meen anual snowfell

whole the distribution of the precipitation is such that
injerdous droughts are of rare occurence. A light frost
sometimes occurs before the erain is harvested. in August,
but nearly twenty years of observation shors that such
frosis are by no means of annual oceurence, and when they

kiiling frost in 1921 was on May 4th, several Light frosts :
were recoréed in that month and in the month of June, and
the first in the fall on September 7th, light Froests were
recorded in the latter part of August. ‘The period between
éates of killings frosts is rather short, and there is
always considerable fear that grain Will not mature. uch
of it generally to be used for feed is eut while yet green
and is allowed to mature in stooks. However, if conditions
are not unfavourable, wheat, oats and barley can generally

peatedly but none has yet matured.
