PUKE MANILLA 7|dJiper lb. D. THOMAS. THE CO-OPEEATIVE SYSTEM, WHtCH insures mutual help and identity of interests, has met with pheno menal success wherever it has been 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 over a thousand Co-operative Societies, thus sarine alf middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale CcoperaKve Society there holds invested capital of over £11,000,000, and the annual trade turnover exceeds £25,000,000. This success is owing to the fact that the investor sees not only a 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-operative Irrigation and Mercantile Society of Australia, Limited, Yho have already secured three Irrigation Colonies which are partially settled and nlanted, are negotiating for other large areas of many thousands of acres, each of Tiwin land, specially adafted for fruit, poultry, dairy, and general agricultural farming, to be followed at an early date by application to the respective Australian Governments concerned for Government concessions from time fa time of lands, as vhe Society's resources admit of colonising same, COLONIES, Martially populated, awaiting the small resident or non-resident capitalist, the em ■loyed worker, or the man Whose Sole Capital is his labor.
