for in the Law governing the
Development of Agricultural AS

with, with the understanding
that heavy penalties will be i'm
posed to any Of it's associated
members failing to comply with
It's dispositions.
upon placing the growers at
absolute liberty to handle their
own products beyond Nogales,
Arizona, they must make pre-
