NOVA SCOTIA FRUIT GROWERS
Act Passed by Dominion Parliament
Permitting Organization Of Uni
ted Fruit Companies.

(By JAMES W. RAGSDALE. Consul
General. Halifax.)
About three years ago the fruit
growers of Nova Scotia found that
they were hampered in many ways In
disposing of their crops. Up to that
time all shipments to Europe were
made through agents. commission
merchants, and spectators here, who
in turn consigned to dealers in London
and Liverpool. In this way the ex-
penses far exceeded the profits.
Again, there was no system exercised
in sorting or packing. consequently
much inferior fruit fourd its way
to the European markets. resulting
in further loss and discredit
To overcome these difficulties. CO.
operative associations were organized
at the towns of Berwick, Wolfville and
Kingston, but without success. Last
year there was combination of grow
ers under a central association with
out cooperative powers that did fairly
well. handling some 100000 barrels.
but the form OF this association did
not afford the relief hoped for.
To remedy the defect special act
was passed by the Dominion parlia-
ment permitting the organization of
what is now known as the United
Fruit Companies LtdD. with a
capitalization of $4,000. since in
creased to 81 900. the par value of the
shares being $50 each. Under the
rule each member must have one
share and not more than five.
The fruit of each member Is gath
cred by itself and after sorting is
taken to the warehouses of the asso-
citation. of which there are five. Here
the fruit is re-sorted and properly
packed under the direct supervision
of the general manager. and the dis
carded fruit is taken away by the
grower and consigned to the drier or
vinegar factories. For the services of
packing the grower Is charged five
cents per barrel. In this way all fruit
exported will be of the highest stan
dard and will command the highest
prices. In packing, color Us well as
size and quality, is strictly observed.

little demand on the continent. All
the fruit of the members is shipped
by the association. Some 100000 bar
rels of fruit were handled in 1912.
The organization aims not only to
handle the fruit of its members. but
also to assist them in the purchase of
their principal supplies. such as bar
rels, boxes, farming implements, Irvine,
seed, nursery stock. fertilizers. and in
fact all the necessary appliances for
fruit growing. Last year growers
were compelled to pay very high
prices for barrels. as much as 40 cents
per barrel in some instances. This
year the members are paying 90 to %
cents for barrels and about 16 cents
for bushel boxes. Very few boxes are
used Later the association expects
to make its own barrels and boxes.
