Today for Vet
Ag Meeting
Sixty-five teachers and nine^
area coordinators were wel/
corned to A&M and the Col
lege Station Area Teacher-
Coordinator Meeting this
morning by Dean of Agriculture
Charles N. Shepardson. The one-
day meeting opened in the YMCA
where it . will continue until 3:15
this afternoon, according to E. R.
Morrison, state board supervisor
for this veterans' vocational agri
culture district.
In Texas there are about 25,000
veterans taking on-farm training,
10,000 enrolled in trades classes,
and 5,000 in distributive education.
All teachers and coordinators used
Calvin Pigg, coordinator for
Brozas County, led the other pan
el which discussed the way in
which Brazos County dairymen
are producing more milk cheaper
during these winter months.
After lunch in the Sbisa cafe-
teeria, Jack Gray will lead a dis
cussion on tenant-landlord rela
tionship problems, Morrison said.
Achievements of Veterans Vo
cational Agriculture and adult
education outlook will be present
ed at 2:15 by B. C. Davis, also
of the state board.
The closing address will be from
E. R. Alexander, head of the Ag
riculture Education department.
“Mental Fertilizers” will be the
title . of Alexander’s address.
The agricultural training pro
gram for veterans as conducted
in Texas consists of class meet-
ingis shop training, practical
demonstration, and individual sup
ervision on the individual veteran’s
farm.
Classes are established where-
over a sufficient number of vete
rans show a need for them, and
are based on the problems peculiar
to his farm and the type of farm
ing in his community.
