Lacombe, Alta. 



the climatic conditions. 



Seeding commenced on the 15th of April, which is an average for earliness. 

 Germination was prompt, growth rapid, but maturity was delayed and harvest opera- 

 tions interfered with by an unusually heavy rainfall. The precipitation for the year 

 totals 23-64 inches, and is the heaviest on record. There was little snow throughout 

 the winter, there being good sleighing for a week in March.
