Farm, Ottawa. 



Unlike the season of 1912, that of 1913 in the Ottawa District was bright, 

 clear, with little rainfall, and in the summer a long continued drought which 

 reduced very considerably hay, corn, roots and other crops. Such a season, of 

 course, was favourable for the development of insect life and some serious outbreaks 

 of well-known forms took place.
