Burlington, Ontario 



yearB be one of the leading centres of orch- 

 ard industry on this continent. 



One of the most pleasing features of the 

 development of the orchard businos,s here is 

 the fact that it is engaging the attention 

 of young men of character and ability like 

 Mr. Andrew Rougvie, Mr. R. R. Sloan, Mr. 

 D. F. Hamlink and others

During the pa.st few weeks siveral of the 

 cooperative fruit growers' associations have 

 been holding their annual meetings and 

 preparing plans for the coming year. There 

 am a number of very successful organiza- 

 tions in the province. The principle of co- 

 operation has become firmly e.stablished al- 

 though a few of the fruit unions are still 

 handicapped by a lack of sufficient capital. 



The annual meeting of the shareholders 

 of the Okanagan Fruit Union, Limited, was 

 held in Vernon, and resulted in R. H. Agur 

 being elected president, W. C. Ricardo, 

 vice-president, and J. Kidston, managing 

 director. The directors' report showed that 

 sales had been made throughout the season 

 at the best wholesale prices going, al- 

 though, owing to the prevalence of disease 

 in nearly all classes of fruit, many allow- 

 ances had to be made. The growers receiv- 

 ed the average price realized for each grade 

 less only the actual cost of packing and 

 handling, and a ten per cent commission 

 for marketing. Owing to the turnover for 

 the year having been less than was antici- 

 pated there was a considerable deficit on 

 the year's operations. It is anticipated 

 that the oiierations of the union this season 

 will be more successful. The directors re- 

 commended that the union this year re- 

 quire growers to sign contracts to have the 

 whole of their crop.s handled by the union, 

 and that growers who desire to ship through 

 the union must become shareholders. 



The Kooteney Fruit^Growers' Union will 

 continue operations this year. An effort 

 will be made to secure additional capita! 

 as the union made the mistake of starting 

 operations with too small a cax^ital. Some 

 of the largest frui1>-growers in consequence 

 have held aloof from the union, fearing 

 that they might not obtain full returns for 

 their fruit. The manager will make a tour 

 of the district covered by the union to se- 

 cure the additional capital required. Local 

 associations are to be formed to ensure uni- 

 form loading and packing. 



The report of Puyal'.up and Sumner Grow- 

 ers' Association for the year 1911 showed an 

 increase of about $90,000 in the volume of 

 business over the year preceding, and net 

 profits for the year of $8,051.
