British Colunvbia 



That coojjeration sjjells success is the 

 belief of the fruit growers of Summerland 

 who last spring organized for mutual bent- 

 fit. Following the lines laid down by thi 

 new Agricultural Act, passed especially X' 

 assist coopeirative organization, it was de- 

 cided to place the authorized capital a; 

 one hujndred thousand dollars. The fiftee:, 

 thousand dollars of working capital re- 

 quired is secured from three hundred 

 shares of fifty dollars each, ten dollars of 

 each share being paid by the subscriber, 

 the remaining forty dollars being advanc- 

 ed by the Government at four per ceait. 



Eight members were elected as provi- 

 sional directors. A large proportion of the 

 growers of the district have signed for 

 shares and the number is steadily inoreas- 

 ing. The organization will be known as 

 the "Summerland Fruit Union." 



The organization of a central selling 

 agency for the Okanagan district was 

 the subject of a series of addresses deliver- 

 ed by M. R. Robertson, of Vancouver, at 

 different points in the early part of the 

 season. Mr. Robertson spoke at Salmon 

 Arm, Enderby, Vernon, Armstrong, Sum- 

 merland, Penticton, Peachland, and Kel- 

 ovvna. At most of the meetings, Mr. Scott, 

 Deputy Minister of Agriculture, was also 

 present. The plan of organization as sug- 

 gested by the Government was fully ex- 

 plained, as was also the extent to which 

 the Government would assist the growers 

 in the formation of such an agency. At 

 all the meetinigs resolutions were passed 

 favoring the movement amd delegates were 

 appointed to the organization meeting to 

 be held at Vernon, April 30. 



After deliberating three days, beginniag 

 on April 30, the delegates representing 

 the different centres throughout the Okan- 

 agan Valley, who met at Vernon to dis- 

 cuss ways and means for organizing a 

 central selling ageaicy, prepared a set of 

 working rules and constitution. These 

 were then sent out to the local associa- 

 tions for adoption. The following is a 

 brief outlinie of the proposed constitution: 

 The agency shall be incorporated as the 

 Okanagan United Growers, Limited. 

 Nominal capital is ten thousand dollars in 

 one dollar shares. Each local associa- 

 tion shall take sufficient shares to give it 

 a vote for each fifty cars up to three hun- 

 dred cars shipped, the minimum to be 

 one vote, maximum six. There shall be 

 eleven directors who will appoint an exe- 

 cutive of three members. To ensure suffi- 

 cient funds for the first few years, each 

 association shall loan a sum at four per 

 ceint. in proportion, to the number of its 

 shares. All fruits a.nd vegetables shall be 

 pooled. Inspectors will be appointed and 

 growers must abide by their recommenda- 

 tions for packing. A charge shall be made 

 on all fruit sold. 



The plan as proposed by the delegates 

 was set before the various local associations 

 for their approval. .^11 the associations 

 adopted it and appointed representatives 

 to act as directors in the central organi- 

 zations. The Okanagan United Growers, 

 Ltd., is now established on a business basis, 

 the necessary capital being derived from 

 some twenty-six shares held by the re- 

 spective local associations through twen- 

 ty-six representatives. The officers have 

 been chosen as follows : President, J. E. 

 Reekie, Kelowna; Vice-President, F. B. 

 Cossitt, Vernon ; Manager, R. Robertson. 



The Okanagan United Growers is now an 

 estnblished organization. The Okanagan 

 fruit men are to he congratulated on the 

 success of their efforts.
