by members who elect a board of six 

 directors and vote on organizational 

 questions at an annual meeting. In addi- 

 tion, special meetings can be called upon 

 request of a majority of the board of 

 directors or one-tenth of the members. 



The basis for voting is one vote 

 per member in good standing. Voting 

 by proxy is not permitted. 



Grower-member Contract 



A contract establishes the relation- 

 ship between the member and his asso- 

 ciation. The woodland owner agrees to 

 guarantee title to the timber covered 

 by the agreement and to defend it 

 against all claims at his expense. He 

 also agrees to grant freedom of entry 

 and right of way to the association and 

 its members and grant privileges 

 usually extended to other purchasers 

 of stumpage. 



In return, the cooperative agrees to 

 pay the member in a specified manner, 

 to do complete cutting before a given 

 date, and to carry on timber harvesting 

 in general conformity with require- 

 ments of the U. S. Forest Service. 



Any dispute over the terms of this 

 agreement are settled by an arbitration 

 board of three persons; each party to 

 the contract selecting one, and these 

 two, in turn, selecting a third.
