RAIN AND FRUIT-SETTING. 
Wet weather is reported to have almost wholly prevented the 
setting of fruit in the years 1881, 1882, 1883, 1886, 1890, 1892 
and 1901. 
Rain is mentioned as one of the causes of a poor setting of 
fruit in the years 1888, 1889, 1891, 1893, 1894, 1898, 1905. 
Of the seasons given above, moisture came at blossoming time 
in the form of snow in 1889 and in 1801. 
Gales of wind accompanied the rain in 1881, 1882, 1883 and 
1905. 
The rainfall came in periods of prolonged cold weather in the 
years 1881, 
1898, 1905. 
In 1890 the rainy weather was hot and sultry.

heat and cold’ accompanied the rains in 1890. 
As in the case of frosts there are cycles of years of wetness. 
Thus, it rained with the destuction of blossoms in the period of the 
years 1881 to 1883, and in the longer period of seven years, begin- 
ning with 1888 and ending with 1894. 
If we consider the above summary in connection with the more 
detailed accounts in the reports quoted we must conclude that rain
