NO FARMS TO BE LEFT UNWORKED
Speaking in the House of Representatives yesterday afternoon, in answer to Mr. Nosworthy, Sir James Allen said the agricultural industry had been declared to be a most essential industry of the highest class, and that recommendation of the National Efficiency Board had been agreed' to by the Government. The classification of industries .had been sent out to all the Military Service Boards, who had been advised that it was not the desire of the Government that any farms should be left unworked. If any men could not be replaced the Military Service Boards had been advised to leave the appellant on the land. The intention was to keep every farm working, and he (Sir James Allen) had not the slightest doubt that the Military Service Boards would allow such appeal.
