 SUMMARY OF GROUP No. 5. 



In the Northern Okanagan fall wheat was good and spring wheat light; 

 oats and barley good; a considerable amount of grain being cut for hay. 



Potatoes and sugar-beets were a very good crop in this section also. 



In the Southern Okanagan, to the boundary, potatoes were light. In 

 the Greenwood District grain-crops were good, roots particularly so. At 

 Grand Forks the season was a good one, especially for potatoes and truck- 

 crops. 



The figure for oats (43.7 bushels per acre) is the third best average in 

 this Province, and for barley (38.4 bushels per acre) is the second best. 



Hoots at an average of 14.1 tons per acre and market-garden crops at 

 12.2 tons an acre are the highest in the Province. 



Potatoes at 7.4 tons per acre being the second highest average for same. 



The crop of hops in the Okanagan was good, but owing to labour 

 difficulties it was picked late and some waste occurred, thus affecting the 

 average yield.
