OURI SCHEME ENDORSED. .Toronto Weekly Sun, Dec. 30. "The Bowmanville STATESMAN makes, a novel proposLion. It is that the far- mers about Bowmanville, and the, busi- ness men of the town, combine for the purpose of creating a large, pork-pack- ing establishment and earr3 ing on other industries. "The proposai of TE STATESMA N iS not so rash as might at irst appear. Farmners bv combining in a small way have made a success iu the manufacture of cheese and butter. Why should they flot be equally successful hiy combining in a arger way, in the packling of pork? Why stop even here ? %Why not combine the clieese and butter factories of a dis - trict into a smmdicate, provideý for uni- formity of poduet, and seli the entire output direct to the next man to the con- sumer in the old Country P Why flot apî 1> tbe samne idea to the producetion of poultry, eggs and fruit? 'us is a day for combinations lu manufactuingi generally. Why sbould the farmer,whü us the greate-,t manufacturer off ahl, ln Canada at ail events, lie the only one te refuse the benefits that caut le secured bv co-operation on a large scale ? The scheme advised for Bomoanville should b e applied to every similar, center ini Canada, and to every huie of production connected with the farm."
