DUTIES OF MEMBERS 



12. It shall be the duty of all members of this Corporation, 

 and they hereby agree, to sell and market their citrus fruit 

 through the agency of or by means provided and directed or by 

 the agency or agents selected and employed by this Corporation 

 only, and no member shall be at liberty to sell, market, or consign 

 his citrus fruits through or by any other agency than such as are 

 directed and provided or selected and employed by this cor- 

 poration. 



In case any member of this Corporation does otherwise sell, 

 market, or consign his said citrus fruits, his voting power and 

 interest in this Association is forfeited, and he shall immediately 

 pay to the Treasurer of this Corporation the sum of Twenty-five 

 (25) cents for each and every packed box of commercial weight 

 so sold, marketed, or consigned during the remainder of such 

 fiscal year as liquidated damages ; it being impracticable and 

 extremely difficult to fix the actual damages suffered by this 

 Corporation. In default of such payment, the same may be 

 recovered by action in any court having jurisdiction, in the name 

 of this Corporation as plaintiff. 



Every member selling or shipping fruit through or by means 

 established or authorized by this corporation, shall pay such equal 

 brokerage per box as may be found necessary to create such a 

 revenue as will defray all expenses necessarily incurred in the 

 conduct of the business of the Corporation. 



It shall be the duty of all members to see that their fruit is 

 picked and handled in as careful a manner as possible, and all 

 fruit shall be delivered to the packing-house on conveyances with 

 easy springs. Any fruit handled in a careless manner or con- 

 trary to the above rule shall be subject to rejection. 



And when by a majority of votes the members have adopted 

 cooperative picking of fruit, each member shall have his fruit 

 picked by the Association at such times and in such quantities 

 or proportion as the Board of Directors may direct.
