With this background of agricultural knowledge these men are -being taught to operate mo'dern tractors which do the work of many teams and men. They are being taught operation, care and up-keep of mo tor trucks and other gas engines. They are being given a general course in looking after all machin ery used on modern farms, and in dications ate that the supply of these specially trained men will not begin to equal the demand.
