-STATUTE-
      The purposes of the corporation are - 
        (1) to create, foster, and assist subsidiary chapters composed
      of students and former students of vocational agriculture in
      public schools qualifying for Federal reimbursement under the
      Smith-Hughes Vocational Education Act (20 U.S.C. 11-15, 16-28)
      and associations of those chapters in the States, territories,
      and possessions of the United States;
        (2) to develop character, train for useful citizenship, and
      foster patriotism, and thereby develop competent and aggressive
      rural and agricultural leadership;
        (3) to create and nurture a love of country life by encouraging
      members to improve the farm home and its surroundings, to develop
      organized rural recreational activities, and to create more
      interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupations;
        (4) to encourage the practice of thrift;
        (5) to procure for and distribute to State associations, local
      chapters, and members all official supplies and equipment of the
      corporation;
        (6) to publish an official magazine and other publications for
      the members of the corporation;
        (7) to strengthen the confidence of young men and women in
      themselves and their work, to encourage members in the
      development of individual farming programs, and to promote their
      permanent establishment in farming by - 
          (A) encouraging improvement in scholarship;
          (B) providing prizes and awards to deserving students who
        have achieved distinction in vocational agriculture, including
        farm mechanics activities on a local, State, or national basis;
        and
          (C) assisting financially, through loans or grants, deserving
        students in all-day vocational agriculture classes and young
        farmers under 30 years of age who were former students in all-
        day vocational agriculture classes in becoming satisfactorily
        established in a farming occupation;

        (8) to cooperate with others, including State boards for
      vocational education, in accomplishing these purposes; and
        (9) to engage in other activities, consistent with these
      purposes, determined by the governing body to be for the best
      interests of the corporation.

    Education", in section 18 of the Act of August 30, 1950 (ch. 823,
    64 Stat. 567), because of 20:3441 and 3507. The words "with the
    approval of the Federal Security Administrator" and "with the
    approval of the Administrator" are omitted because the functions of
    the Federal Security Administrator were transferred to the
    Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare by section 5 of

    subsequently transferred to the Secretary of Education by 20:3441.

    Education" would result in a requirement of the Secretary's own
