THURSDAY, JUNE 7t.h, 1934 Value of Co-operative Marketing The value of co-operative marketing and packing by fruit growers ail over this province has brought millions of dollars to the growers in the past few years, and this successful development of the over- seas market bas been primarily the result of the growers recognizing the value of organization. Un- fortunately the past has seen many farmer's organ- izations which have proved successful for a time and then gradually have lost all their power, because the members would not stick together. The fruit grow- ing section of the province is leading the way in showing what may be accomplished by organization and co-operation with the government. Through the effort.s of the growers a full time representative in the Old Country has been main- tained and the market has expanded under his able guidlance f rom 70,000 barrels of apples 5 years ago to 300.000 barrels of apples and 10,000 packages of pears and plums at the present time. Mr. Andrew Fulton, who is the representative, bas kept in con- tact with the growers by sending out a fortnightly letter advlsing holding or shipping of certain var-, ieties of fruit, and the growers accepting this advice 'have gained thousands of dollars in better prices by shipping when the market demands the product. thus preventing a glutted market and extremely 10w prices. In his review of the past f ive years' work, Mr. Ful- ton writes at length on "Wbat the 'Big .0' Brand Has Accomplis'hed." The Big 0 Brand is the regist- ered trade market of the West Durham growers and aIl their apples are shipped under this name. The result has been that buyers in England have corne to know this brand as first class produce and it coin- mands the highest price on the markets. This brand ls the property fl0w of the Fruit Growers' Associa- tion and as such may only be used by those who keep Up the standard demanded by this brand. Large British buyers are loud in their praise of the brand and are willing to pay top price for it. It might b>e addecl here that the Newcastle and Bowmanville district apple growers have been among the keenest in their organization work and much of the success in the Old Country markets has been due to their desire to conform to certain very high standards and to b>e true and loyal to their organ- ization throughout. They have attained a large measure of success in this way, and farmers ail over the country might take heart and realize what can be accomplisbed when farmers stick together, flot only for their own good, but to produce for the buyer the best that can be produced. Making Tax Payments Easier There is considerable menit in the new systemn of collecting taxes three times a year. In view of the collection of the 1934 taxes, the first installment of which is due on June 12tb, with succeeding instail- ments on Sept. l2tb and Dec. l2th. it is necessary that citizens realize the benefits that accrue to, the town an.d to tbemselves, as ratepayers. through its operation. The primary need in tlus town is a reduction in the interest payments. Previous to 1933 the town bonrowed rnoney f rom the start of the year until taxes were collected in December and the interest on these bornawings was tremendous. By paying taxes twice a year, as was done last year, the town had only to, borrow for the f ist six months and a resultant saving in intenest was noted. This year the taxes are paid in tbree instalîments and a f un- ther decrease ini interest will be noted, if citizens pay taxes as they become due. Apart froni the benefit that the town lreasury ne- ceives through these installment payments. citizens sbould f tnd it easier to meet t.heir taxes as they corne due. Under the old systemn the pa3-ment came due at the same tme as the fuel supply had tD be sec- ured and when Christmnas expenditures were 1ooming on the horizon. Division into three parts makes payment easier. There are few wbo have say $90 to pay who would rather pay it in three installment. of $30 than in one large instalîment. To prove this fact, the bettet collection of iast year is evidence. The Art of Getting Along Sooner on laler, a man, if he is wise, discover.s that business life ta a mixture of good ds3-s and bat, ie î- tory and defeat, give and take. He learns that he wbo loses bis tempen usually loses. He cames ta realize that tihe business could run perfectiy well withoul hirn. He learn.s that caring a cbîp on bis shoulder ta the easiest way to gel mbt a figbt. He learns that buck passing always turn.s out ta be a boomerang. and Ihat il neyer pays. He learns that the quickest way ta become unpapular ta ta carry tales and gossip about athers. He ieamns Ihat t doesn't malter sa, mucb wha gets the credit so long as the business shows a profit. He iearns that it -doesn't pay ta be a sensitive soul-that he shoulti let somne things go oveî bis bead like waten off a duck's back. He learns tisaI even the janitor ta bunsan and tbat it doesn'l do any barm le smie andi say -Goad mroning." even if it is raining. He learns thal ail men bave burnt toast for breakfast now anti then and that he should.n't take the ather fellows groucb too seruously. He learns that inost of the other fellaws are as ambitious aLs be s, and lbey have brauxqs thal are as good or better. and Ihat bard wank and nol cleverness is the secret of success. Farmers To Visit Guelph College The announcement f rom Guelph to the effecltishat the usual farmn andl borne eek prograrn held ans- nually at the Ontario Agrcultural C',llege wil be limiled this yean to three days. June 20. 21 and 22. recalîs the great changes which bave been brougbt about by the Introduction of tise motar car on thesel visits. For many years excursions were contlucted byl the raiiroads f nom ail sections of the province ta Ibis institution, at exceptionally 10w rates, resulting un thousands of f armens, thein wlves and chiltiren, be- lng given the pnivilege of vislting the Coilege and lise surroundings. The visits were cannieti on duning June. and Guelph enmrtained inany thousancis dur- ing thase day-s. It was an event looked forward to by f armers as one of the big holidays of t:ie year. West Durham Farmers Institute conducted many such excursions ta the O. A. C. in the good old cays with the late Henry C. Hoar as chief promoter. Under the neiv systemi there is no particular day for any part of the province, but the three days are set apart for ail wl-w desire to go. In almost every case tbey now go by automobile. The College is wide open to aIl %vho corne, even ta the extent of provid- ing accommodation to those wbo desire to remain overnight. Farmers who can find the tirne will do well to take a day or two at this institution. There is much to be seen and a great deal to be learned. Modern scien- tific methods are taught, and the members of the faculty are always deligbted ta give aîl the inform- ation in their possession to those who seek ways and means of ridding their farms of pests, of soil pre- paratian. of animal bneeding, etc., al of which tends to improve and enhance the value of Ontario farms. An Increating Demnand for Farmn Horses The horse breeding industry is making a steady advance. This is particularly true in regard ta farn horses, sixteen hundred of which wene supplied to the eastern provinces froni the Prairies in 1933. According to the new publication "The Agricuit- ural Situation" just issued by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, greater activity was shown among breeders of pure bred draught harses. as the number 0f registrations of Clydesdales, Percherons and Belgians was almost double that of 1932. With the depletion of grade farin horses a greater demand is said in the pamphlet to, be developing for young purebred stock as foundation breeding animais. With the Dominion-wicie interest in the use of hanses as a factor in successful agriculture in Canada, there is an increasing activity amnong fanmers and breeders in the production of more and better borses for bath farmn work and breeding purposes. This situation promises a keener demand and better prices. which is bound ta nesult in a general forward movernent in the horse breeding industny. Only last week in conversation witb Manson Com- stock, local manager of Sheppard & Gill Ltd.. he told us be was on the lookout for a matched team of heavy borses and those he had already seen were priced from $400 to $450 per team. Western Editor Offers Good Suggestion The Estevan Mercuty (Sask.) whicb publishes one of tbe finest editorial pages of any weekly newspaper in Canada bas bit upon a novel plan ta make the drinkinE man spend bis maney wbere it will do moist good. In a satirical mood The Mercury coniments tbus: 'There is no good end served in loaking at the "Beer-by-the-Glass" issue f rom the angle of public marais. That phase 0f the liquar traffic was dis- posed of when the people voted out prohibition and mandatedc restricted trade unden governnent opera- tion for public revenue. The proposai now is ta re- vert ta aperation for private profit and the problern is ta work out a systemn that will permit great-en free- dom of consumption witbaut exposing the thinsty consumner to exploitation at tbe cost 0f himself and bis family. Hene's a plan which the gavernnent is f ree ta adopt witb the compliments of Ibis great famiy journal and the electors are advised to con- sider well: Stant a saloon in youn own home and be yourseif the only customner. You will bave no bic- ense ta pay. Give your wif e $2 10 buy a five-gallon keg 0f beer. and remnember thene are 75 fair-sized drinks inth'e keg. Buy your drInks f ram no one but your wife and, by the tirne the keg ta empty, she wil have $5.50 ta put in the bank and $2 to buy a f resh keg. Should you live for ten years and continue to buy yaur beer f rom bher, she will bave money enougli ta bury you as decentIy as you deserve, educate your children. buy a bouse and lot and live in comfort for the rest 0f ber longed-for vçidowhood." Novel Plan of Taxing Property The Clinton News-Record suggests a novel plan when il puIs forward the idea 0f taxing- the man who lets bis property detenionat-e rathen Iban the man wba keeps ni.; property ini good condition. Under the present order of things the man who always bas bis praperty in the best 0f shape and bas enougb inter- est in it anti the comnmunity aI large ta maintain il. is oflen penalized by being assessed higher than pro- p-erty that has been alloý.,ved ta deterionale. The Clinlon paper rnay have some difficulty in f inding a way ta, pu: itz recommendatian imb a ffect, but if Ibis coulti be dane it wauld certainly be the means of forcing people te keep their pnaperty in reason- ably gcoc shape. and thus flot miaking bis properly an eyesore or a detrimenîtat property ini close prox- imity. Il mîgh-L be %well Wa stipulale that bouses mnust be painted every so many years, andi those wbo fail ta cornpi3 ith the ordinance have their assesment increased. Reduced taxation would then be pcssible only where pnoperty is maintained in a proper state of repair, and the owner would benef it by an increas- ed value if the pnoperty is pLaced on sale.
