FARM CO-OPERATION • Practical Results That Are Entirely Free. ttcablc Y*eking and Marketlur Fruit --rurvhaging Supplies, ' For the pact throe years the Fruit Division, Ottawa has been earnestly advocating cu -operation among fruit growers, not only in Marketing their products, but in many other ways as well. It has been pointed out that beginners might co-operate to buy the trees hest suite(, to their district at the lowest price; that uniform me- thods of orchard management might bo adopted in 1)11or to ('115)11'' a uni- form quality of fruit: the (areetive an(1 systotuntle spraying might be securest by means of pother outfits, serving' a neighborhood in the Sallie manner as threshing machine; that cheaper supplies. such as implements, chemicals for spraying, anti packages for chipping, might be Obtained; and that by putting up co-operative pack- ing houses at proper centres, uniform grading and packing, with conse- quent easier sale at better prit•cs, aright be secured. This season apple buyers have not been camper ing as usual for the farmer's crop. and the prices offered for apples have Item un- usually- low. A. good many farmers have not been able to sell their ap- ples at all, 11 11(1 in consequence they aro more or less disgusted with the fruit outlook. They have learned by bitter experience that it will not do Fairs' Association The annual meeting of the Ontario Fairs and Exhibitions Association was held at Toronto last week, when many -natters of interest to the Agricultural Societies of Ontario were discussed by the 223 delegates present. At Wednes- day's sessions the delegates made a de• cided pronouncement in favor of distrib- uting the Government grants to the dif- ferent fairs on a basis of the amount of money expended by them for agricul- al purposes. A resolution was also pass. ed requesting the Government to with• hold grants from such societies as per- mit games of chance at their Exhibi- tions. At Thursday's session thedole. v o gates threw out a resolution which pro- vided for the appointment of a Govern- ment commission to divide the Province into fair districts and do away with a lot of the small agricultural societies. Tho feeling of the delegates was decided• ly opposed to any radical change. A - resolution was passed requesting the Minister of Agriculture to submit to the next annual convention the result of the department's inquiry during the current year on the subject of reducing the nam- ber of fairs. The officers for the year were elected as follows: President, J. W. Sheppard, Cayuga; First Vice -President, James Mitchell, Goderich; Second, VicePresi- dent, Rev. C. 13.

This popular English pear originated with M. svelter near Augers, France, in 1850, The tree is moderately vigorous In growth and is distinguished from Many others by the olive 111•ew11 color of the young weed. Tile fruit whlott is medium in size is of yellow chlor, netted (nal traced With 1115 set and sprtukled with russet dots. The flesh Is white, moderately juicy, sweet and pleasant. It is a good pear for Ulu family garden (111d in al•nsoll from Ile' comber to February, being at its beat lu flavor and texture. to depend on the traveling buyer. They must co-operate in the packing and marketing of their apples if they desire to be reasonably sure of a fair return from, their orchards. The co-operative system of market- ing leas proved a great success in connection with the California fruit erop, the 'Texas tornate'e crop, and in. ninny other cases in the 'United 1tat- es. It is rapidly gaining ground in Canada, and the practical results of its operation at several Ontario Points are worthy' of c•')n:$ideration by every orchardist. I he Walkerton association. 1)11 013 started in a small tray three years ago, established this. season a central co-operative packing house. To this central point the members brought their apples fit barrels w11i(•11 had been le(rchased through the organization. The ap- ples were delivered in hey racks, the bottoms of which were 1sell covered with hay, or in spring wagons. and any found unfit fur packing were re- •iurnpcl. The various • 1 s i s of were not 0 keptseparate, .e)a<tt butapplesw••• all. thew 1( - graded as they came in and the pro. ceoda were divided among the mem- bers according to the quantity of eacct grade they supplied, rl'bo ex- pense of packing was from ten to fifteen cents a barrel, which was less than the cost of packing in the or- chard. This year eight cars of fruit were sold, including soft apples like Iluchess ,and Astrachan, and for the entire lot prices ranged from $1.7.; to 112.20 a barrel on board cars at Walkerton. The cost of barrels, packing, etc.,. had to be deducted from this, but without co- operation the apples would have been left to rot (,n the ground. The Forest Association was or- ganized last spring and has a mem- bership of about one hundred. This fall thirty-eight cars of apples were shipped to the West and realized an average of 81.9() for No. 1 and $1.55 for No. 2, on board cars at Forest. The apples shipped were mostly Baldwins, Kings and Greenings, but included all marketable varieties., The association appointed its own salesmen to handle the fruit in the West. At first shipping from the orchards was tried, but it was Soon found advisable to have two central packing houses. Instead of buying barrels the association bought the stock and had them made up, at a cost of about twenty-eight to thirty cents, us compared with forty-five McKay—At Jamestown. on February 12th, cents charged by coopers.
