of every description, all farm and station products and requisites, implements, machinery, chattels, and effects of all hinds, upon sucb terms and conditions as tbe directors may from time to time appoint. 3.— To afford facilities to the < shareholders and constituents of the Association for, or to undertake for them tbe 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 the members of the Association or my other person or persons upon real personal securities, as may from time . to time be approved of by the direot- ' ors, 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 3 part of the property of tbe Associa--1 tion, 5 ADVANTAGES OF THE ASSOI CTATION. i ■ To secure to the farmers, grariers, 1 and producers of the West Coast, by ' co-operatson, the benefite of inter--1 change, which have hitherto gone to ' the agents or distributors alone. By adopting the principle ofco- ' 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 oft Jbhe 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, and reliable information as to the state of and advantages offered by the various markets throughout the world. Tne A?sociation will seek to ally itself with otber kindred institutions, and so, by sharing the cost of agency in British and foreign 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 patisfactory financial results whicli may be attained by such 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 a 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 to tho farmers, graziers, and producers of the West Coast generally.
