This section applies to farm loan bonds and consolidated farm loan bonds issued by federal land banks, consolidated collateral trust debentures and all other debentures issued by federal intermediate credit banks, debentures issued by the Cental Bank for Cooperatives and consolidated debentures issued by banks for cooperatives. It is the purpose of this section to authorize any person, political subdivision, body, or officer, public or private, to use any funds owned or controlled by him or it, including sinking, insurance, investment, retirement, compensation, pension, and trust funds, and funds held on deposit, for the purchase of any such bonds, debentures, or other obligations.
