DRIFT FROM FARMS
SHORTAGE OF GOOD MEN
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
WAIROA, This Day.
Strong exception was taken at a meeting of the Wairoa branch of the Farmers' Union to remarks made at the Magistrate's Court, Gore, last week, by Mr. W. H. Freeman, S.M., who suggested that the "cry made by farmers throughout the country that they could not get men was all humbug." It was stated that the union had definite evidence of a shortage of skilled farm labour. Skilled men were drifting off the farms on to public works and farmers had to take what was left, unprofitable pick-arid-shovel men.
