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 the agents or distributors a^ua. By adopting the principle otco. operation 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 * xpenses, will belong to and be distributed amongst the shareholders. ■ The Association will collect and supply to the sharehold- rs agricultural and other sta istics. prompt, disinterested, and re iable iniormauoi. as to the .-tate of and advantages offered by the various markets throughout the world. Tne Association will seek to ally il&e.f with other kindred institutions, and so, by sharing the cost of agency in British and ibiei n 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 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 i of by a majority of shareholders at a ! general meeting of the ■ Bsoeiation. The annual reports of other similar Associations show the satisfactory financial results which may be attained by such enterprises, and induces the beliei 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, that the West Coast Farmers' 00-Otn-rative Association may become, not only a source of profit to its shareholders and constituents, but also a great and permanent benefit io the farmers, graziers, and producers of the West Coast generally.
