More Farm Training Seen in Mechanized Texas
Texas will need more highly trained farmers as mechanization expands in farming. Rob ert Manire, state supervisor of agricultural education, told the vocational agriculture teachers conference in San Antonio that mechanization along with livestock cuts labor but demands stronger training for youths entering farming. The program should involve the whole farm family and advance the district’s intellectual and economic status. Mayors and education officials welcomed delegates, with awards given for long service and upcoming area meetings and officer elections.

AFB Adopts New Schedule for Randolph Personnel
Randolph AFB will implement a new work pattern starting in August 1920, assigning military and civilian staff to the third Saturday and Sunday of each month with the preceding Friday and following Monday as days off. The change supports corollary reserve training as current orders require two full active-duty days monthly. The B29 combat crew training program at Randolph now follows this schedule while basic pilot training continues under the old plan.
