Emblem 
The 4-H emblem is a highly valued mark
within our country's history. As such it
was granted a very unique status; it is
in a category similar to the Presidential
Seal and the Olympic emblem. It is
protected by the federal government
and is under the responsibility and stewardship of the
Secretary of Agriculture. The "18 USC 707" marking
that appears along the right lower left is coding that
protects the use of the clover.
