In 1940 Telephone Directory the address for "Baltijas lauksaimnieku biedrība" is "Diakonata 1". Does that address match this image?

Baltijas lauksaimnieku /also mentioned as “lauksaimniecības”/ biedrība was located in a house with the address Diakonāta iela 1 until 1940 and the image matches this address. The buildings shown in this postcard along with most of the buildings in the center of Valmiera were destroyed during World War 2 in 1944. The street called Diakonāta iela still exists today but only post-war Soviet-era buildings are located on that street. Here is an article where you can see a picture of the ruined and burnt down farmers' association house: https://www.valmiera.lv/lv/kultura/latvijai_100_/brivibas_stasti/hermanis_enzelins/

Liels paldies. Do you know if the "2-gad. lauksaimniecības skola un dārzniecība" was located at Tālavas 3 in the early 1920s, or was it at another location?

In the early - and mid-20s the “2-gad. lauksaimniecības skola” operated in the house of “Baltijas lauksaimnieku biedrība” at Diakonāta iela 1. In 1928 the school was moved to the so-called Lucas manor with the address at that time Tālavas iela 3 (today's address Lucas iela 2). The school, along with gardening and bee apiary, was located there until 1940. Buildings with relatively small changes have survived to the present day.
