AIMS AND OBJECTS 155 



How can a Person become a Member ? 



By forwarding to the Hon. Secretary the attached form of 

 application in an ordinary stamped addressed envelope 

 addressed to the " Hon. Secretary, The Glynde and District 

 Federation of Growers, Ltd., Ragged Lands, Glynde, Lewes." 

 Members are elected by the Committee. To be a member 

 at least one share must be taken in the Society, but any 

 member may take shares up to the value of ^200. 



What is the Liability of Members ? 



The liability of each member is strictly limited to the 

 amount unpaid on each share taken. When a member has 

 fully paid up his shares (and he may do this whenever he 

 wishes) he is under no further liability whatever, no matter 

 what obligations the Society may incur. 



What are the Chief Obligations of a Member ? 



The main obligation is loyalty to the Society. Members 

 are, of course, at liberty to deal where and how they wish, 

 but it is earnestly hoped that members will support the 

 Society in order that they may reap the full benefit of united 

 and co-operative action. 



How are any Profits to be Disposed of ? 



The first charge on the net profits is the payment of 5 per 

 cent, interest on the paid-up share capital. The balance of 

 any net profits are allocated as follows : 



(a) Not less than one-half to a reserve fund until this 



fund equals the share capital. 



(b) Not less than 5 per cent, to the workers employed 



by the Society at the time the division takes place. 



(c) The remainder of the net profits are divisible amongst 



the members. 



How you can make the Society a Success. 



You can not only join yourself but you can induce other 

 interested persons, likely to benefit by the co-operative move-
