WORK FOR DISABLED
Technical Agriculture Offers
Thousands Of Positions.
Serve as Stepping Stones to Higher
\ Promotions and Better Com.
pensation.

Observation-Disclosures agriculture
Oilers thousands of positions as ass0ci-
ates, assistants. helpers, extension
workers and county agents, and this
work is particularly suitable for re-
trained, disabled men, according to a
statement issued by the federal board
for vocational education.
These positions serve as stepping
stones to higher promotions and better
compensation soon In the agricultural
colleges, experiment stations, agricul-
tural extension service and In state
agricultural movements. These insti-
tntions and employments lost thou
sands of men from their student
bodies, their faculty and their staifs.
Hundreds of men formerly agricultur-
al extension workers and agricultural
county agents will never return to
those occupations. These places were
temporarily filed by unprepared sub
stitutes who will be replaced by
trained men as rapidly as possible.
The experience abroad, wherein op-
portunity was given to study the in
tensive and scientific agriculture of
France and other countries, has great
" stimulated interest in these lines,
and disabled men with background
OF agricultural experience are mani
resting keen interest in training for
the lines mentioned. Many others
who, by reason of their disabilities,
are compelled to equip themselves in
other lines, and preferably for out-of-
door occupations, are also manifesting
keen desire to take up the special
lied branches Of agriculture in the
training offered by the federal board.
