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 i saving al! middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-opera*ive 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 fchw grand prinoiple to IRRIGATION. And the Co-operative Irrigation and Mercantile Society of Australia, Limited, irho have already secured three Irrigation Colonies which are partially settled and dinted, are negotiating for other large areas of many thousands of acres, each ht virrin land, specially adafted for fruit, poultry, dairy, and general agricultural farmine to to followed at an early date by application to the respective Australian QoTernnients Concerned for Government concessions from time to time of lands, as vhe Society's resources adroit of colonising same, COLONIES, Partially populated, awaiting the small resident or non-resident capitalist the em JJoyS worker, or the man Whose Sole Capital is his labor The Board of Manage mentcomprisesamongst ite Member* some of the best and most favorably known men m Australia.
