"DUY an International Harvester en- 

 •■-' gine, take care of iv as any machine , 

 should be cared for and a dozen years or 

 more from now it will still be working for 

 you. 



It will save you and your family endless hours of 

 hard labor in pumping, sawing, grinding, spraying, 

 running separator, etc. 



Buy an I H C engine. They last longer, bum 

 less fuel, are simpler, and give you most power. 

 H ere are a few of tlie reasons: Offset cylinder heads, 

 large valves, accurately ground piston and rings, 

 heavy drop forged crank shafts and connecting 

 rods, etc. Best material and construction mean the 

 best engine. I H C engines are built in all styles, 

 and in all sizes from 1 to 50-H. P. They operate 

 on low and high grade fuels. 



Not every local dealer handles I H C engines. 

 The one who does is a good man to know. If you 

 do not know who he is, we will tell you when you 

 write us for catalogues.

Cooperative Associations 



D. JoksMB, Domiaian Frnit CMiauaMMr Ottawa 



This yiar above all seasons has justified 

 the existence of cooperative associations. 

 These associations have had their ups and 

 downs. They have had their encourage- 

 ments and discouragements, and have pass- 

 ed through good seasons and bad seasons. 

 \\ hilc this may be their history for the past 

 few years, yet it is a fact that they have 

 increased the sales of orchard lands in the 

 districts in which they are established, in 

 many cases one hundred per cent., and have 

 caused their members to take a keener and 

 more intelligent interest in their orchards. 

 Production has been more than doubled, 

 and growers have realized for their apples 

 about fifty per cent, better prices than were 

 formerly paid. This has been the history 

 of cooperative associations in the past. 

 Their record in 1914 will be even more 

 striking. 



It has been my privilege this season to 

 examine the packs of most of the associa- 

 tions, and nearly all have reflected credit 

 upon the organization. Growers who are 

 fortunate enough to be members of these 

 associations have been able to market their 

 apples through their associations, either by 

 f.o.b. sales or on consignment, in carload 

 lots, in such a way as to make a fair profit 

 on the season's operation. In some dis- 

 tricts I have seen large crops of fine apples 

 wasting in the orchards or being devoured 

 by the hogs, while apples of no better 

 quality from orchards in the same district 

 are being sold at from $2 to $2.50 per 

 barrel f.o.b. shipping point by the co- 

 operative associations to which the grower 

 belonged. 



In the early days of cooperation some ten 

 years ago, when the late Mr. McNeill first 

 started to preach cooperation among the 

 fruit growers of Canada, he was severely 

 criticised in some places, and the ground 

 was taken that the buyers would be put out 

 of business. But the history of the move- 

 ment for the last few years has proved 

 that the local apple buyers were unable to 

 take the risk of handling fruit to the same 

 extent that an association could. 



Whitby 



The Whitby Horticultural Socieity last 

 year joined with the Town Council in a 

 clean-up day, and shared the expense with 

 them. \ hyacinth show was held in Feb- 

 ruary. The blooms displayed were from 

 bulbs distributed by the society in the fall. 

 The show was most successful, adults and 

 children showing. The prizes consisted of 

 rose, hardy and climbing, for spring plant- 

 ing. We have succeeded in interesting a 

 large number of the children in the grow- 

 ing of flowers and vegetables. We held a 

 fall show in September, at which there was 

 a good display of flowers and vegetables. 

 The members received The Canadian Horti- 

 culturist, also plants, seeds, and bulbs, .^n 

 interesting address was given in Septem- 

 ber. The work of the society has beeu 

 brought before the citizens by notes in the 

 press .ilmost every week.
