we are rewarding men regardless OF
academic standards, for the leadership
they have shown as result of superior
intelligence, industry and initiative
to men who have made place for
themselves in the front ranks of agri-
culture through genuine quality of
leadership.

the granting of these certificates Of
recognition, an effort is made to
show the world that ability and ac-
complishment can come through other
lines than scholastic ones. It proves
