of every description, all farm and station productß and requisites, implements, 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 the 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 the 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. 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 1 ona. By adopting the principle of cooperation in the formation of the Association, farmers, graziers, flaxmillers, and all othpr 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 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 foreign markets, reduce such costs, while increasing correspondingly the advantages to shareholders. 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 attainedby such enterprises, and iuduces 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.
