Tho forthcoming harvest in Ashburton County, tho "Guardian" says, appears to be attracting the atteiitionfof u largo number of\incn from various parts of the Dominion.'At'the present time several early >• arrival.? are waiting in Ashburton for /employment. '■ The labour agencies are ijlso' inundnt/d with telegrams and letters from various quarters all anxious to'know when operations will be in full swing. Although them appears to be plenty of harvest labour offering, the Tevorso "is the case with shearers, and many farmers have been obliged to'struggle through as,best'they could with liaJf tho usual complement of shearers. The shortage is no doubt que to the lateness of shearing in the North Island, the mei/ not being available.'as iirformer.lvears, to take up the running in the south when' the North Island sheds' are clear. The ranks of .shearers have also' heeiv depleted through tho recent epidemic. - Although it is too early"in the. season to make any, accurate forecast of' tho prospects-for" the':-frozen meat trade, the general opinion is that the works throughout the province will soon bo very busy, remarked the "New Zealand- Herald." The season has been a littlo more backward than tho previous one, but is at present improving. During this month and February the various companies are expected to be working to their full capacity. No definite information is available yet. concerning shipping space in the near future.
