ADVANTAGES OF THE A£SO. CIATION. To secure to the farmers, graziers and producers of the West Coast, bj co-operatson, the benefits of inter ohange, which have hitherto gone tc the agents or distributors a!one. By adopting the principle of cooperation in the formation of the ABeociatiot 1 , farmers, graziers, flaxmillers, and all other producers whe are shareholders and constituents, may sell their products and bu\ what farm and station requisites they severally require in the most favourable market?, and at the same time share in the profits oi the Association, which, after payment of nil expenses, will belong to and be distributed amongst the shareholders. The Association will collect and supply to the shareholders agricultural and other statistics, prompt, disinterested, and reliable information as to the fitate of and advautages offered by the various markets throughout the world. Tne Association will seek to ally itself with .other kindred institutions, and so, by sharing the cost of agency in British and foreign markets, reduce such costs, while increasing correspondingly the advantages to shareholders. The profits of the Association, afterpayment to shareholders of a dividend not exceeding seven and a half per cent, per annum, and after making provision for writing off so much of the assets of the Association as may be deemed advisable and providing for a reserve fund, will be divided amongst the shareholders, according to the amount of business done by each with the Association, may from time to time be approved of by a majority of shareholders at ft general meeting of the AB3ooiation. The annual reports of other similar Associations show the satisfactory financial results which may be attained by such enterprises, and induces the belief in the minds of the promoters that equally satisfactory results may be achieved in this part of the colony, and while offering a safe investment for capital, that the West Coast Farmers' Co-Operative Association may become, not only a souroe of profit to its shareholders and constituents, but also a great and permanent benefit to tho farmera, graziers, and producers of tho West Coast generally.
