- Title
- Farm labor shortage supplanted by Howze soldiers
- Description
- Labor shortages hit the country hard during the second world war, but farming and agriculture took a significant blow because most able-bodied men were off to fight in the war. Cooke county farms were able to overcome this problem through programs that made use of Camp Howze soldiers. Not only did the camp provide labor for these farms, but the farmers preferred the soldiers over any other labor source.
