EXPERIMENTAL FARM FOR BRITISH COLUMBIA. 



Agassiz, B.C. 



On the whole the weather conditions were more favourable this year than last, 

 though the spring was wetter than that of 1012. The rain in April retarded seeding 

 operations to some extent, and May and June were also wet, but, since there were 

 alternate rainy and fine spells, the work was not materially affected. July was reason- 

 ably warm and dry, and August also, though occasional heavy showers fell in the 

 latter month. 



In the latter part of September there was a spell of fine weather; but October 

 and November were wet, a condition which rather interfered with the root and corn 

 harvest. No frosts were experienced before November 14. December and January 

 were mild until the end of the latter month, when the first snow fell. The cold spell 

 lasted until February 5, after which it was very mild and warm till towards the end 

 of !March, when there were 10 degrees of frost, very cold winds and snow. Coming a^s 

 it did after the mild weather, this cold spell did considerable damage.
