Live Stock Sales and Bgg, Fruit and Wool Marketing -- Much Done Local Government Aids. (Contributed by Ontario Department ol Agriculture, Toronto.) N the field of Agricultural operation in the Province of On tario, the greatest advance dur- ing the year has been made in connection with the shipping of live stock. practically no Live Stock Shipping Co- Clubs) ship co-operatively. The ma- jority of these ship to the Live Stock Branch of the United Farmers Co- operative Company, which handled about 30 per cent. of the stock going through the yards. Present indica- 'tions point to the possibility, within the next few years of the larger pro- portion of the live stock of Ontario being shipped co-operatively. The second important development in the province is that in connection with Egg Marketing. 'The year pre- vious to this there were about fifty active Hgg Circles in the province marketing, eggs and poultry, to the value of about $120,000. The num- ber of Circles has increased until there are now some sixty in oper- ation, and Farmers' Clubs as well as Egg Circles are now taking up this important work. The most notice able development is in the grouping of Circles in various districts for the purpose of establishing candling and grading stations, and already some three districts are so organized, each consisting of a dozen or more local circles. The United Farmers Co- operative Company has recently. opened a department for eggs with Live Stock Shipping. Co-operative Marketing is the move- ment on foot during the year to com- bine under one central company the manufacturing and marketing of the cheese from local cheese factories. This company has opened an auction market in Montreal with a successful and increasing business. The co-operative marketing of wool was continued last year through the Ontario Sheep Breeders' Association as previously. The Canadian Co- operative Wool Growers, Limited, marketed a total of about 4,000,000 pounds, and of this amount Ontario supplied 775,000 pounds. It is esti- mated that Ontario's total production is about 2,500,000 pounds annually. Thus, 31 per cent. of Ontario's wool was marketed co-operatively last year. : A large proportion of the co-oper- ative work in the province is carried on through unincorporated local farmers' clubs, of which there are some twelve or thirteen hundred in the province. The great majority of these are affiliated with the United Farmers' Co-operative Company, which acts as a wholesale house for these clubs. The amount of business transacted by some of the clubs is remarkable. There are, of course, a trading through the central company; the wholesale business, however, as reported in the annual statement of the central company, amounted to $8,600,000. This will no doubt show la substantial inerease in the next statement, since the company has established a number of branch stores and additional ) partments at the head office. With the increase of business and the consequent larger financial trans- actions an increasing number clubs have become incorporated der the Co-operative Section of Ontario Companies Act. During the year there have been eighty incoerpor- ations, either as Share or Non-share Co-operative Companies. Where the club has reached the stage when it feels that incorporation will be bene- ficial, usually. its business is on a fairly substantial basis and gives promise of being cessful. One such' organization, instance, handling live stock, feeds, grains and other commodities and ig doing a business un- for There are other organizations in the province which do not actually carry on business, but whose work is one phase of co-operative endeavor. Such organizations are,--Milk Pro- ducers' Associations, Grape Growers' Associations, Sugar Beet Growers' Association, Tobacco Growers' Asso- ciation and others of like nature ditions and advise their members as to prices. tion confers directly with the trade cate thai out of these organizations may grow commercial co-operative companies of producers, controlling the output of the members. A great deal of preliminary work has been done by the Department. . during the year in connection with the production of pure seed, more particularly. of potato seed in North- jern Ontario. This work is leading to the organization of commercial seed centres. The trend of Agricultural Co-oper- f ation in the. province durin 1g the last year or so is more in the direction of Co-operative Na . than viously. Farmers' Clubs are forined with the idea of combining the purchasing ot supwulies for bers, and this line of business is usually the Hrst attempied by the clubs. The amount of Co-operative Marketing business durihg the last year has, however, exceeded the sup- ply business in the province and justifies our opinion as to the rela- tive importance to the farmer of the Co-operative Marketing of 'his pro-. ating pre- usually | 'ducts and buying of his supplies.-- Through Farmers' Clubs -- The | * Power.
