943

Whenever a group of not less than fifteen natural persons, whose incomes derive principally from agricultural activities, may wish to organize a farm bureau pursuant to §§ 941-952 of this title, it shall so notify the Secretary, who shall proceed to call them to a general meeting on the date designated by him so as to organize the farm bureau. In said general meeting and once the farm bureau has been organized, a board of directors shall be appointed from among its members, to be composed of a chairman, a vice-chairman, a secretary, a treasurer and one or three directors, as may be agreed. The farm bureau so organized may accept new members, when it may deem it advisable, without other requirement than to be natural individuals whose incomes derive principally from agricultural activities and who are willing to pay the annual assessment fixed by § 945 of this title.
