of every description, all farrc and station products and requisites, implements, machinery, chattels, and effects of all kinds, upon such termand conditions as the directors maj f rom time to time appoint. 3.- To afford fa-ilities to th« hareholders and cons iti.ents of th« Assorintinn for, or lo undertake foi fhem the shipment of their produce to the various markets of the world nnd to appoint agents in Great Britain, the other colonies, and foreigi countiies for the furtherance of thii object. 4. — To make advances to th< members of the Association or anj other person or persons upon rea personal securities, as may from tim< to time be approved of by the direct ore, and to receive money on deposi at interest or otherwise. s.— To sell, exchange, improve manage, lease, mortgage, dispose of or otherwise deal with all or an> part of the property of the Associa^ tion. ADVANTAGES OF THE ASSOCIATION. To secure to the farmers, graziers, and producers of the West Coast, bj co-operatson, the benefits of interchange, which have hitherto gone tc the agents or distributors a'ono. By adopting the principle of cooperation in the formation of the Aepociatioi;, farmers, graziers, flaxmillers, and all oth^r 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 expenses, will belong to and be distributed amongst the shareholders. The Association will collect and supply to the sharehold.. rs 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 other 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 satisfactory financial results which 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 the farmers, graziers, and producers of the West Coast generally.
