War Department To Train Soldiers In Agriculture
The War Department plans to convert soldiers into farmers through Army Schools run by agricultural experts. Recruits in rural areas will be steered away from constant drill toward farming, with courses designed to supply the nation’s agricultural labor needs as the economy shifts toward peacetime readiness. The shift aims to prevent ex-soldiers from re enlisting out of habit and to produce a steady civilian workforce.
