GROUP No. 4 Concluded. 

 SUMMARY OF GROUP No. 4. 



The spring was dry and cold, with an average rainfall in summer, which 

 was followed by an exceptionally fine fall. 



The averages for yield of oats in the Hazelton and Skeena River Districts 

 are amongst the highest in the Province. 



Oat straw was short in some districts. 



The hay-crop was good generally, in places a heavy second crop being 

 cut, the hay curing well. 



Market-garden produce in many districts proved a partial failure owing 

 to the ravages of cutworms, and the early, dry, cold season. 



The foregoing figures show conclusively that large quantities of agricul- 

 tural products have to be imported into the territory encompassed in Group 

 No. 4, and the table of prices in this bulletin will convey immediately to the 

 lay mind the possibilities there are for further increased development in 

 order that a supply may be provided locally equal to the demand.
