Iile.s and took home throe barrels which the 

 packers rejected. A nciglit)or of mine, Mr. 

 A. M. McRae, is sending along with the 

 others some barrels of his own packing in 

 his own name as the company will not put 

 their stamp on anything that they do not 

 pack them.selves. We await with interest 

 the outcome of this venture. If we can sell 

 Ben Davis to advantage in the British mar- 

 ket then our fortunes are assured ; for we 

 can grow this variety of apples in great 

 abundance here. I think myself it is a 

 much maligned apple. As good sauce as 

 one could desire can be made from it. It is 

 good for pies and bakes well. Of course, 

 wise men would not think of using it till 

 its proper season which here is from April 

 to July or August. 



Ontario Co-operative Movement 



The Co-opoiativc Fruit Growers of On- 

 tario, the central organization with which 

 are affiliated the leading local associations in 

 the province, has this year made a steiJ in 

 advance in reference to the purchasing and 

 distribution of supplies. Up to this year, 

 the directors have simply obtained prices 

 from a number of the wholesale houses and 

 manufacturers and distributed these so that 

 the local associations could write direct to 

 these firms for their supplies. This year 

 they have arranged with the St. Catharines 

 Cold Storage and Forwarding Co., to pur- 

 chase all of the supplies and distribute to 

 the local associations. In this way they have 

 been able to get lower prices with a better 

 quality of goods. The central association 

 hopes in time to be able to rent or build 

 its own warehouse and to distribute material 

 from some central point. In the meantime, 

 however, this year's plan is a decided step 

 in advance. 



It was also ascertained at the last meet- 

 ing of the executive that it was possible 

 to obtain a charter under the provincial Act, 

 and the executive wore instructed to ar- 

 range this matter before the annual meeting 

 in the summer. Some of the executive hope 

 to be able to arrange matters so as to sell 

 the product of a number of the smaller as- 

 sociations this year. This will entail some 

 system of inspection and will necessarily 

 have to be gone into rather cautiously. 

 There is no doubt, however, that in time 

 the plan will be perfected and it will aid 

 materially in the organization of smaller 

 associations which are not generally in a fav- 

 orable position to dispose of their pack. The 

 secretary of the provincial association is P. 

 W. Hodgetts, Department of Agriculture. 

 Toronto.
