of every description, all farn? and station products and requisites, implements, machinery, chattels", and effects of all l-iuds, upon such tc.mand condiiious as the directors may from time to time appoint .o.— To afford fa- ilities to the j pharrholders and cons iti.ents of the Association for, or lo undertake for them the shipment of their produce to the various markets of the world, and topppoint agents in GuU Eri- j tain, the other colonies, and foreign , countries for the furtherance of this (-bject. 4, To make advances to the members of the Association or anj other person or persons upon, real personal securities, as may from time J to time be approved of by the direct- j ors, and to receive money on deposit at interest or otherwise. s.— To sell, exchange, improve, manage,, lease, mortgage, dispose of, or otherwise deal with all or any part of the. property of the 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 a'ona. By adopting the principle 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 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 th* various markets throughout the world. Tne Association will seek to ally Use f with other kindred institutions, and so, by sharing the cost of agency in British and forei.n markets, reduce such co&ts, while increasing correspondingly the advantages to shareholders. f t The profits of the Association, after payment 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, 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 Weßt 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.
