THE CO-OPERATIVE SYSTEM, I VTHICH insures mutual help and identity of interests, has met with pheno- W 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 saving all middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-operaKve 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 prinoiple to IRRIGATION. And the Co-operative Irrigation and Mercantile Society of Australia, Limited, yho have already secured three Irrigation Colonies which aro partially settled and planted, are negotiating for other large areas of many thousands of acres, each of virgin land, specially adapted for fruib, poultry, dairy, and general agricultural farming, to be followed at an early date by application to fche respective Australian Governments concerned for Government concessions from time to time of lands, as ,he Society's resources admit of colonising same, COLONIES, Partially populated, awaiting the small resident or non-resident capitalist, the em ■>loyed worker, or the man Whose Sole Capital is his labor.
