of every description, all farm and station products and requisites, mi' plements, machinery, chattels, and effects of all kinds, upon such terms and conditions as the directors may from timo to time appoint. 3.— To afford facilities to the shareholders and constituents of the Association for, or to undertake for them the ship went of their produce to the various markets of the world, and to appoint agents in Great Britain, the other colonies, and foreign countries for the furtherance of this < bject. 4. — To make advances to the members of the Association or an> other person or persons upon real personal securities, as may from time to time be approved of by the direotors, and to receive money on deposit at interest or otherwise. t 6.— To sell, exchange, improve, n.anage, lease, mortgage, dispose of, or otherwise deal with nil or any part of the property of the Association. ADVANTAGES OF THE ASSOCIATION. To secure to the farmers, graziers, and producers of the West Coast, by co-operatson, the benefits of interchange, which have hitherto gone to ihe agents or distributors a* one. By adopting the principle of co. operation in the formation of tho AfcPOciatioi;, farmers, graziers, flaxmillers, and all othor 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 and other statistics, prompt, disinterested, aud reliable information as to the state of and advantages offered* by the various markots throughout the world. Tne Association will seek to ally j it_e!f with other kindred institutions, and so, by sharing the cost of agency in British nnd foreign markets, reduce 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 ofthe AsßOoiation as may be deemed advisable and providing for a reserve fund, will be divided amongst the shareholders, acoording to the amount of business done by each with the Association, may from fcime 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 mny be attained by snch 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 » safe investment for capital, tbat tho West Coast Farmers' Co-Operative Association may become, not only a source of profit to its shareholders and constituents, but also a great and permanent benefit to the farmers, graziers, and producers of the West Ooast generally.
