By adopting the principle oft bo. operation in the formation of tho Abgociatiov, farmers, graziers, flaxmillers, and all other producers who are shareholders and constituents, may sell their products and buy what farm and station requisites they severally require in the most favourable markets, and at the same time share in the profits ot the Association, which, after payment of all expenses, will belong to and be distributed amongst the shareholders. The Association will collect and supply to the shareholders agricultural nnd other statistics, prompt, disinterested, and reliable information as to the state of and advantages offered by the various markets throughout the world. Tne Association will seek to ally itself with other kindred institutions, and so, by shaving the cost of agency in British and foreign markets, rejduce such co«ts, 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 a general meeting of the Association. 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 tlie - West Coast Farmers' Co-Operative Association may become, not only a source of profit to its shareholders and constituents, bnt also a great and permanent benefit to the farmer's, graziers, aud producers of the West Coast generally.
