Ont. ing ill the organization of the Caiiadiaii Co-operative Wool Growere, Ltd. The new organization eaiiie into lieiiig with a oon- stitiitioii whieh, already stated, permitted all the local to retain their identity and loeal autonomy, thus maintaining their full confidence and support. Local niaaagement had developed keen executive ability and tlie keenest, ablest and most experienced were placed on tlie executive and directorate of the new organizati(ni. Previous ex- jierience had demonstrated the value of business ability and salesmanship and liere again picked men were selected for these important positions. The principle of co-operation was adopted in its entirety and apjilied to both the management and disposal of dividends. It was agreed that sales for product consigned were to be made on the grade and qual- ity basis. The organization was to be self sustain- ing in every detail except that it solicited the moral support of Governments, both Provincial and Do- minion. The success of the enterprise is now more or less definitely established. The business has grown from 3,500,000 pounds in 1918 to over 5,000,000 pounds in 1920. The year 1919 saw the beginning of the first real difficulties for the new enterprise. Prices com- menced to fall and a portion of the 1919 clip re- mained unsold. Ilowevei-, the year 1920 demon- tratt^d the real benefit of a Dominion-wide organi- zation for Canadian sheep raisers. Early in the sea- son the regular trade agencies ceased to operate, almost entirely, owing to market uncertainties. The Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers, Ltd., were able to negotiate for an advance on wool to farmers of 15 cents and 20 cents for Domestic m'ooIs and 20 cents and 25 cents for Range Wools.
