The purpose of the or- ganization is to further the practice of brotherhood, honor rural oppor- tunities and responsibilities, and develop those qualities of leadership which a future farmer should possess. The emblem of the organization is a metal pin, bronze for first degree, silver for second, gold for third and fourth degrees. Members may attain any, or all of the four degrees. The emblems consist of the representation of a crossection of an ear of corn, devoting thrift, the owl signifying wisdom, the plow, labor, the rising sun, progress. The activities were limited, even discouraged, because of present war conditions. -
