CLIMATE. 
The climate, Like that of Western New York in general, 
is very varied. But on the average it is mild enough for 
all the crops which are commonly grown. Peaches cannot 
be considered a safe crop, not only because of winter 
killing but also because of frosts at blooming time. In 
general climate does not adversely affect other crops. 
Ocassional droughts come in summer and cause much 
inconvenience and loss by reducing pasturage, and the yields 
of corn and beans. 
The following tigures furnished by the Weather Bureau 
Station of Rochester, New York give a summary of the 
weather conditions. These figures cannot be applied to 
the locality in question in all respects, however, because 
Rochester is in close proximity to Lake Ontario, and the 
farm is far from any such intluence. 
The average date of the last killing frost in spring 
is May 1st. The average date of the first killing frost 
in autumn is October i9th. 
17.
