24 CANADA - CO-OPERATION AND ASSOCIATION 



Nova Scotia. — The co-operative selling of wool was undertaken in 

 two counties of Nova Scotia in 1916, in Antigonish and Guysboro. In both 

 the Department of Agriculture has representatives who organize the work. 

 In Guysboro merely a beginning was made, the total sale amounting to a 

 little less than 2,000 pounds. In Antigonish it was the second year in which 

 wool was sold co-operatively, and about 15,400 pounds were graded and 

 sold. The average price received was 41 ^/g cents a pound. The expenses 

 amounted to slightly more than half a cent a pound.
