" \V/ rHtCH insures mutual help arid identity of interests, has met with pheno- Vf menal success wherever ,ifc has; bpen applied to any object. In the United Kingdom some over seven millions of people, or a fifth of the whole population enjoy the benefits arising, from Membership of ovsr a, thousand Co-operative Societies, thus saving al> middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-operative Society there holds invested capital of over £11,000,000, and the annual trade turnover exceeds £25,000,000. This &uccess is owing to the fact that the investor sees not.o|Jly;« fair commercial' return on his investment, but proprietary division of profits which he would not receive from any other organisation. It has been left to Australia to apply this grand principle to IRRIGATION. And. the "Co-operativei Irrigation and Mercantile Society of Australia* Limited^ who have already secured three Irrigation Colonies which are partially settled and planted, are negotiating for other _ large areas of many .thousands of acres, each of virgin land, specially adapted for fruit, poultry, dairy, and general agricultural farming, to be followed at an earljr date by application to the respective Australian Governments concerned for Governments concessions from time to time of lands, as the Society's resources 'admit- of colonising same. . .
