of every description, all farm and station products and requisites, insplements, machinery, chattels, and effects of all kinds, upon such terms and conditions as the directors may from time to time appoint. 3.— To afford facilities to th^ shareholders and constituents of the Association for, or to undertake for them the shipment 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 object. „ 4 # To make advances to tne members of the Association or any other person or persons upon real personal securities, as may from time to time be approved of by the directors, and to receive money on deposit at interest or otherwise. 6.— To sell, exchange, improve, manage, lease, mortgage, dispose of, or otherwise deal with all or any part of the property of the Assoeia. tion. ADVANTAGES OF THE ASSO, OIATION. To secure to the farmers, graziers, ana producers of the West Coast, by co-operatson, the benefits of interchange, which have hitherto gone to the agents or distributors atone. By adopting the prinoiple 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 nil expense 3, 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 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 sharing the cost of agency in British and foreisn 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 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 in. duces the belief in the minds of the promoters that equally satisfactory results may be achieved in this part of the colony, and while offering h safe investment for capital, that the West Coast Farmer*' 00-Operative Association may become, not only a souroe of profit to its shareholders and constituents, bnt also a great and permanent benefit to the farmers, graziers, and producers of the West Coast generally.
