of every description, all farm and ! station products and requisites, implements, machinery, chattels, and effects of all kinds, upon such terms ' and conditions as the directors may j from time to time appoint. 3.— To afford facilities to the shareholders and consutiients 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 tbe Association or any other person or personß upon real personal securities, as may from time to time be approved of by the direotorß, and to receive money on deposit at interest or otherwise. ft\— To sell, exchange,, improve, manage, lease, mortgage, dispose of, or otherwise deal with all or any part of the property of tbe 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 the agents or distributors alone. By adopting the principle of cooperation in the formation of tbe Association, farmers, graziers, flaxmillers, and all oth«n- 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 tha Association, which, after payment of all expenses, will belong to and be distributed amongst the shareholders. The Association will collect and supply to the sbarehold- rs agricultural and other statistics, prompt, disinterested, and re'iable information as to the state of and advantages offered by the various markets throughout the world. Tne Association will seek totally itse'f with otber kindred institutions, and so, by sharing the cost of agency in British and forei. n 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 I making provision for writing otf so much of the assets of the Association as may be deemed advisable and providing for a reserve fund will be divided amongst tbe 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 wbich may be attained by such enterprises, aud 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 the West Const 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 Coast generally.
