United Fruit Companies 



THE tenth annual meeting of the United 

 Fruit Companies of Nova Scotia was held 

 at Kentville on June 27. There were about 

 300 in attendance. President F. W. Bishop was 

 in the chair. The United Companies now num- 

 ber forty-nine, there being an unusual increase 

 in new companies during the year. Seven co- 

 operative companies applied for and were granted 

 stock, becoming members of the shareholding 

 concern. 



President Bishop gave his annual report re- 

 viewing the year's business, its successes and 

 shortcomings. Where conditions were adverse 

 he drew particular attention to the more satis- 

 factory business conducted in Great Britain with 

 the firm of J. and H. Goodwin, Manchester, and 

 the placing through that port of over 25 per cent. 

 of ail apples exported. He reminded the apple 

 growers present that the Annapolis Valley was 

 without ddubt the most desirable apple district 

 in Canada and the acquiring of large orchard 

 areas by foreign capital and speculators is an 

 index to that fact and should increase the faith 

 of all fruit growers in the future of the industry. 



N. A. Osborne, of Waterville. called attention 

 to the pre-cooling of fruit as mentioned in the 

 president's report, and he spoke of this ney? 

 operation for use at Waterville when the fruit 

 season opened in August. General Manager
