(b) to promote the theory and practice of agriculture;
(c) to arrange on behalf of its members for the purchase, distribution or sale of commodities, supplies or products;
(d) to act generally on behalf of its members in all matters incidental to agricultural pursuits and rural development;
(e) to promote home economics, public health, child welfare, education and better schools.
