J ••' To secure to the farmerß, graziers, and producers of the West Coast, by co-operatson, the benefite of intercbange, which have hitherto gone to the agent* wr 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 a^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 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 Association will seek^ to ally it be f with other kindred institutions, and so, by sharing the cost of agency in British and foreian markets, redup4 such ' cost's, wfiile increasing correspondingly the advantages to shareholders. The profits of the Association, afterpayment to shareholders of a dividend not exceeding ueven and a naif per cent, per anuum, and after making provision for writing off so much of the assets of the Association as may be deemed advisable and providing fora reserve fund wiilbe 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 tnterpriseß, 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, tbat the West Coast Farmers' Co-Operative Association may beoome, 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. JOHN STEVENS, BaoKEB, Bulls. LOUTH NURSERY, NOEBITON KOAD, FOXTON.
