sembly, That corporations organized for
the purpose of insuring growing tobacco,
strawberries. fruit and other crops
against damage by hail, tornado or wind
storm. and curing barns and detached
houses by fire. that said corporations
shall be concerns which shall not have
any capital stock, but are organized ana
bers, and which pay their losses solely
from assessments upon its members.
without distributing any portion of their
profits among their members In the shape
of dividends. Such corporations may be
incorporated under the provisions of the
act entitled IAN act concerning corpora
tons" which became law May 21st,
1903, except, that such corporations shall
not be required to have any capital stock:
shall have all gcnerl powers imposed
and conferred upon such corporations by
the laws of the State. but such corpora
lions shall not be required to make any
deposit of bonds or other securities with
