Halifax youths aid farmer manpower shortage on county farms
The Halifax County effort pairs Aurelian Springs School leaders with the County Agent to place local boys on farms for the summer. The program aims to ease the labor gap, offer experience, and support the war effort while youths gain practical insights into farming. Similar programs in New York show high return value for city youths on rural work.
