That The United Fruit Companies of Nova 

 Scotia, Ltd., are Bteadily increasing in 

 strength and influence was shown at the 

 Third Annual Convention of The Company 

 held about the first of July. In spile of the 

 war conditions that prevailed last fall and 

 winter, the company had a successful year, 

 and proved the salvation of the fruit industry 

 in the Annapolis Valley. 



The report of the board of managers was 

 presented by Secretary A. E. Adams. It 

 went into the affairs of the company ex- 

 haustively. A considerable extract from u 

 is printed on Page 196 of this issue. Presi- 

 dent Donaldson gave an excellent address, 

 reviewing the work of the company, its 

 prospects and trade conditions. A notice- 

 able feature of the Convention was the in- 

 creased familiarity of the delegates pre.i^ent 

 from the locals with the general business 

 of the company, and their confidence in its 

 future, and the co-operative principle upon 

 which it is being conducted. The growth of 

 the movement is educating our growers in 

 the principles involved, and developing new 

 leaders, in whose hands the future success 

 of the enterprise seems assured.

 dent, John Donaldson; Vice-President, F. W.
