KARSTEDT, Flesherton, - Ontario L.Ive stork Sal.-* and Egg, Fruit nnd Wool Marketing Much Done Through Knrraera' Clubs The Local Government Aidt*. (Contributed by Ontario Department oi Agriculture. Toronto.) N the Qeld of Agricultural Co- 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. Five years ago there were practically no Live Stock Shipping Clubs. At the present time between, three and four hundred separate organizations (Including Farmers' Clubs) ship co-ope ratively. The ma- jority of these ship to the Live Stock Branch oi the United Farmers Co- operative Company, which handled about 30 per cent, of the stock going through the yardn. 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 Egg Circles in the province marketing eggs and poultry, to the value of about $120,000. The num- ber of Circles has Increase;! 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 sonic 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 and poultry and this fact will doubtless have the same effect as in connection with I,l-vc stock Shipping. A development in connection with Co-operative Marketing is the move- ment on loot during the year to com- bine under one central company the Manufacturing nnd 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 market ing of wool was continued last year through- the Ontario Sheep Breeders' Association as previously. The Canadian Co- operative Wool Growers, l.iMit-d. ni:iiki.Mcd a total of about 4,000.000 pounds, and of this amount Ontirlo supplied 775,000 pounds. It is esti- mated that Ontario's total production is about 2,. r >00,flOO pounds annually. TIIIIH, 31 per cont. of Ontario's wool was marketed co-operatively b.si year.

KccRiil development;; would imll- BSte Ilial out of thesu; orgunlzal ioim may grow commercial co-operalivn companies of producers, controlling the output of the members. A great deal of preliminary work has been done by tho Department (lining the year in connection with tho production of pure seed, more particularly of potato need in North- ern Ontario. This work is leading to the organization of commercial sued centres. The trend of Agricultural Co-oper- ation in the province during the last year or so is more In the direction of Co-operative Marketing than pre- viously. Farmers' Clubs are usually formed with the idea of combining the purchasing of supplies for Its members, and this lino of business is usually the first attempted by tho clubs. The amount of Co-operative Marketing business during the last year haa, however, exceeded the sup- ply business in the province and justifies our opinion as to the rela- tive Importance to the farmer of the Oo-oparatl'Ve Marketing of his pro- clunls and buying of his supplies.
