(14.) WEST KOOTENAY. 



For this district, we have grouped the large area tributary to the Arrow Lakes, 

 the Lower Columbia River, Slocan Lake, Lower Kootenay River, Kootenay Lake, and 

 the West Arm of Kootenay Lake. In the large area included there is only a very 

 small proportion of land which is, or can be, cultivated and rendered suitable for 

 fruit-growing, the principal areas being indicated by the survey reports given below. 



The whole of the district is characterized by a total precipitation of from 28 to 

 42 inches annually, being lowest in the southern and south-westerly section, and 

 increasing to its maximum at Revelstoke and the upper end of Kootenay Lake. The 

 winter snowfall is usually heavy, and remains on the ground for a long period. Of 

 the total precipitation, nearly two-thirds falls in the months of October to March, 

 inclusive, partly as snowfall ; but in the month of June the precipitation amounts 

 to 2y 2 inches on the average, the humid condition then resulting giving rise to a 

 certain amount of apple-scab, which has to be combated by spraying. 



The growing season is longest at Nelson, Creston, and the more southerly points. 

 In Nelson, for which good records are available, it extends on the average from 

 April 3rd to October 22nd, a total of 202 days, while the mean temperature of the 

 six hottest weeks is 65.0 degrees. At Revelstoke, with an altitude of 1,476 feet, as
