ADVANTAGES OF THE ASSO* CIATION. To secure to the farmers, graziers, and producers of the West Coast, by co-operatson, the benefits of interchange, which have hitherto gone to (he agents or distributors a'ono. By adopting the principle of cooperation- in the formation of the Association, 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 agricultnral and other statistics, prompt, disinterested, find re iable information as to the fctate of and advantages off pied by the various markets throughout the world. Tne Association will seek to ally it&eif with other kindred institutions, and so, by sharing the cost of agency in British and foreign markets, reduce such cots, while increasing correspondingly the advantages to shareholders. < t The profits of the Association, afterpayment to shareholders of a dividend not exceeding aeven 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 bo 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, aud iuduces the belief in the minds of the i promoters that equally satisfactory results may be achieved in this part i of the colony, and while offering « i safe investment for capital, that the 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 vo the farmers, graziers, and producers of the West Coast generally.
