Show WORK FOR DISABLED - Technical Agriculture Offers Thousands cf Positions. Serve as Stepping Stones to Higher Promotions and Better Compensation. Com-pensation. Washington. Technical agriculture offers thousands of positions as associates, associ-ates, assistants, helpers; extension workers and county agents, and this work is particularly suitable for retrained, re-trained, disabled men. according to a I statement issued by the federal board for vocational education. Tln-se positions serve as stepping stones to higher promotions and better compensation soon in the agricultural ' colleges, experiment stations, agricultural agricul-tural extension service and in state agricultural movements. These institutions insti-tutions and employments lost thou sands of men from their student bodies, their faculty and their staffs. Hundreds of men formerly agricultural agricultur-al extension workers and agricultural county agents will never return to those occupations. These places were temporarily filled by unprepared substitutes sub-stitutes who will be replaced by trained men as rapidly as possible. The experience abroad, wherein opportunity op-portunity was given to study the iu tensive and scientific agriculture of France and other countries, has greatly great-ly stimulated interest in these lines, and disabled men with a background of agricultural experience are manifesting mani-festing keen interest in training for the lines mentioned. Many others who. by reason of their disabilities, are compelled to equip themselves in j other lines, and preferably for out-of-door occupations, are also manifesting I a keen desire to take up the specialized special-ized branches of agriculture in the j training offered by the federal board. |
