New Trades Taught On Southern Farms With Vocational Training
Farm youths across the South attend night schools to learn auto mechanics carpentry sheet metal work and electricity as part of a national defense effort to train labor. Alabama reports about 100 communities in the program with six trainees added to defense rolls since Oct. 6. Farm clubs for youth and families spread social and recreational activity and may grow into a larger regional network. New experiments test cow feeding cafeterias at Florida stations to determine which grasses yield best milk output.
