Warm and Cold Winds. 



J. IN MICHIGAN. 



It will be seen that the warmest stations are 

 in most intimate connection with large bodies of 

 water: Fredonia is on Lake Erie, Rochester near 

 Lake Ontario, Auburn near the central New York 

 lake region and possibly within the influence of Lake 

 Ontario, while Utlca is farther inland. Similar ob- 

 servations might be made concerning the Michigan 

 stations. Temperatures of the coldest days would 

 show much greater differences. 



It should be observed that the influence of a body 

 of water is not governed by its proximity, but by 

 elevation of the land and direction of winds. Grand 

 Rapids, Michigan, although about twenty -five miles 

 from Lake Michigan, is greatly influenced by it. 



It is evident that if a wind-break stops or deflects 

 a warm wind, it may prove injurious. A still place 

 in the lee of the wind-break may, therefore, be the 

 coldest part of the plantation. So far as the writer 

 is able to learn, this sort of injury from wind-breaks 

 is confined to those regions which are directly influ- 

 enced by bodies of water. The eastern shore of Lake 

 Michigan has furnished many examples. Most growers
