"Sprayed 16,000 Trees— No Repairs" 



— so says one of our thousands of satisfied customers, Mr. J. A. Bingaman, Pillow, 

 Pa. He did the work with a Goulds "Pomona" Sprayer, shown below. This two- 

 hose, four-nozzle sprayer can't be beaten for use in small orchards, and where 

 labor is cheap, is used in large orchards— several machines taking the place 

 of a large power outfit. Wearing parts are of solid bronze. Large steel 

 air chamber gives uniform pressure. Easily adjusted and cleaned. Fits 

 any barrel. It's only one of 50 styles and sizesofhand, barrel and 

 power sprayers, made at the largest pump works in the country.

transit, are respectfully requested to ob- 

 sorve the following rules: 



1. Take firm hold on the package wlien 

 S'hipping or moving It from place to place. 



2. In handling, avoid tilting the package 

 beyond 45 degrees froin Its horizontal posi- 

 tion. 



3. Neiver let go your flnm grip on tflie pack- 

 age till it is gently placed in its place (a 

 dropping Jar to a crate of ripe, juicy straw- 

 berries, jiasipborrie.s, peaches, or >toniatoe6, 

 will easily knock 25 cents of value out of It). 



4. Pile crate firmly an express oars or on 

 trucks to avoid rocking motions. These mo- 

 tions on a long journey will reduce value of 

 goods from one-half till worth lees than ex- 

 Ijre.ss charges. 



5. Always have in mind that the efteols 

 of damage to goods by unskilful, thought- 

 less handling never stops till part of it 

 gravitates right back to you, and affecta 

 your economic progress, although you never 

 thought of It. 



6. AM persons having interests in fruit of 

 any kind, observing careless violation of 

 the above rules, will confer a favor upon 

 the company as well as the public by taking 

 such notes as will emable the ofticials of 

 the coiapany .to itrace the violation to the 

 guilty party. 



All such notes should be addressed to 

 the division superintendent respective of 

 the place of occurrence, where records are- 

 kept and employees scored by their effi- 

 ciency. 



I 



Increases Production 



F. H. Johnson, Bridgetown, N. S. 



My apples are packed and marketed 

 through the Bridgetown Co-operative Com- 

 pany. My experience in co-operation has 

 convinced me of the importance of the pro- 

 duction of fruit of the best quality. An im- 

 provement in the quality of fruit produced 

 invariably results from successful co-opera- 

 tion. The best methods of one grower soon 

 became the common methods of all. The 

 members of the co-operative society to 

 which 1 belong meet frequently during the 

 winter months. At these meetings meth- 

 ods of cultivation, of spraying, of picking 

 and packing and of the general care of the 

 orchard are discussed, and the methods that 

 have proved most advantageous are brought 

 to the attention of all. 



Not the least of the many advantages of 

 co-operation is the inspiration which the 

 members get from each other in the en- 

 couragement to raise more and better fruit. 

 One member sees the fruit grown by his 

 fellow member to be so much superior to 

 his own, or the packing room tally sheei 

 shows him how many more number one ap- 

 ples his neighbor packs than he does. This 

 naturally sets him to thinking that if his 

 brother member can do so well there is 

 surely a chance for him also. So he faces 

 another fruit season with determination to 

 raise better fruit than ever. 



Webster defines co-operation as "the as- 

 .sociation of a number of individuals for 

 their common benefit." The definition ex- 

 actly describes the purpose and intent of a 

 co-operative association of fruit growers. In 

 these organizations individual fruit growers 

 associate together for their common benefit 

 — to enable themselves to raise better fruit, 

 to have that fruit better packed, to handle 

 it with greater economy, to find the best 

 market, to obtain the highest prices. Co- 

 operation among farmers and fruit growers 

 is, to my mind, the natural result of increas- 

 ed intelligence and a more thorough educa- 

 tion. The day of small things in the apple 

 business is past and the prospect now is 

 that in a very few years co-operative as- 

 sociations will control the export of the ap- 

 ple cop of Nova Scotia.
