Since the pro vincial government has been advcr tieing the district for colonization the prospective settler would be in- terested to know if this title is jus- tified.. The agricultural possiblities of country are usually'deterined by th quality of the land tom o .be farmed, th average temperature.prevailing dur ing`the growing season, the frost -free period, the precipitation, the amount of sunshine, and better still, by the success of those already established in farming operations. The Dominion • Experimental Sta- tion at hapuslkasing•, Ontario, hasgathered considerable information concerning the weather since its es- tablishment, For instance, over a period of 15 years,. the mean temper- ature during the ;five growing monthsfrom May 1 to _September 30, was 56.4 degrees, which is only 6 degrees below the average for •the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa. The frost -free period was 103 days in 1932, 125 days in 1931 and 119 days in 1930, compared to an aver- age of 73 days over a period of 15 years, a Many tunes, however, the temperature registered as the killing frost was only 32 degrees and no damage was done except to the most. tender plants such as corn and 'tom-_ atoes. It is found also that as the cleared land is extended and more soil is cultivated, with better drain- age and air circulation, the danger from late spring and, early autumn frosts is rapidly'disappearaing. It is generally conceded that the amount of growth is measured up by the rainfall and that the maturity of i the grain is in direct relation with the amount of sunshine. Over a period" of 15 years the average monthly pre -i ieipitation during the five growing months was 2.84 inches and, from 1919 to 1933 inclusive, an average of 206 hours of sunshine was recorded monthly during the same five grow - kg months. Both, the rainfall and the hours of sunshine are considered sufficient for a good growth and per- fect maturity •of grain. The Dominion Experimental Stat- ion would be pleased to supply any addition information concerning the weather records, the growing of crops, •etc_ of Northern Ontario.
