Answer 1

The main reason for the decrease in the number of Texas farm workers in the mid-1900s was the introduction of mechanization and the cotton gin, which allowed for more efficient production and reduced the need for manual labor. Additionally, the introduction of irrigation and migrant labor also contributed to the decrease in the number of farm workers.
