(15.) EAST KOOTENAY. 



This territory includes the valleys of the Upper Columbia and the Upper 

 Kootenay, embracing a large area of agricultural land estimated at approximately 

 1,000,000 acres, most of which is available for mixed farming, by dry-farming 

 methods without irrigation. The territory stretches from the International Boundary 

 north-west through the Cranbrook and Windermere country, up to and including 

 the Golden section. 



The climate of the district is semi-humid in character, the total annual precipi- 

 tation averaging about 1C to 19 inches, of which a considerable proportion falls in 

 the second quarter of the year, at least in the southern half of the district. The 

 records for Golden, Cranbrook, and Wilmer indicate a growing season of between 

 175 and 190 days, the most favourable records being from the Windermere country. 

 The number of heat units runs from 9,250 at Golden to 10,000 at Cranbrook, 10,750 

 at Wilmer, and 10,750 at Tobacco Plains, in the Elko District. Similarly, the mean 

 temperature of the six hottest weeks is GO.l degrees at Golden, 02.2 degrees at
