place. It i.s often difficult to work out a 

 syetem whereby everyone is treated exactly 

 alike, althougii the difference is usually 

 small, and if all the members are better off 

 than they were before they adopted co- 

 operation, there should be no kick coming 

 from individuals, for if constant jealousy 

 and bickering prevails, farewell to success. 

 There must be a certain margin of give and 

 take amongst the members. 



As a rule, when cooperation is a new 

 thing it is best to start on a small scale 

 with a few members of like mind and aims, 

 uniting together with the determination to 

 stick together through good and bad times 

 and to make the Association a success. A 

 certain sinking of the individuality there 

 must be. Each member should have the 

 good of the Association as his main idea. 

 As success comes, the Association can be 

 enlarged to take other men of like char- 

 acter and aims. Members who will not 

 obey the rules as regards packing properly, 

 spraying, etc., should be dispensed with, for 

 one or two such men will ruin any organ- 

 ization. 



The board should keep in touch with and 

 know exactly what the manager is doing at 

 all times'. While a certain latitude must be 

 given him, still It is not right for the 

 directors to leave everything to him and be 

 ignorant of what he is doing. Some As- 

 sociations have been wrecked in this way, 

 the manager speculating with the fruit of 

 the Association. 



It is not only a great safeguard, but it 

 is essential to the success of the co- 

 operative that each individual member 

 s.hou.ld take a keen interest in the proceed- 

 ings of the Association. It the members 

 show slackness, the manager and directors 

 are apt also to become slack, and as much 

 energy and business acumen is needed on 

 their part, so also must the ordinary mem- 

 ber back them up by assisting them in every 

 possible way. Any cooperative which is 

 careful to avoid the causes of failure 

 mentioned is practical and certain to be a 

 success. 



Cooperation in the fruit business has come 

 to stay, for the simple reason that it is the 

 only means whereby the growers can fight 

 other organizations with whom they have 

 constantly to deal, and thereby obtain all 

 that is coming to them. 



Vacant Lot Gardens 



On Saturday, May 13, Controller Thomp- 

 son officially Inaugurated the vacant lot 

 gardlen work of the Toronto Rotary Club. 

 The ceremony opened with a march past a 

 cinema camera, after which Chairman F. G. 

 Rabson, of the vacant lot garden commit- 

 tee, reviewed the good work done last year, 

 and added that already applications had 

 been received for lots from one hundred 

 and ten persons, sixty-four of whom are 

 returned solddere. 



The committee expect that more than 

 $16,000 worth of vegetables will be produced 

 this year. 



Controller Thompson was then presented 

 with a silver spade, and after a few elo- 

 quent remarks^ sowed several onion seeds. 

 W. iD. MoPherson, M.P.P., chairman of the 

 Returned Soldiers' Commission, said that 

 there is nothing that can be done for re- 

 turned men that will be beyond their merits, 

 and praised the work of the Rotary Club in 

 encouraging the patriotism of production. 



Mr. Glossop, who last year won the club's 

 prize for the best garden, has been appoint- 

 ed to Instruct the amateur gardeners this 

 year.
