FARMS AND THE 40-HOUR WEEK
Sir,—Your correspondent "G.A.N.F. places himself in the same category as the "hot-air" city members he refers to in his letter, by his obvious ignorance of the breeding problems of the New Zealand farmer; otherwise he would know that f c farmers' requirements are not for animals of the type he men/ons; but for humans who will work unceasingly for 80 hours weekly, accept any holidays which may be granted, and should they require time for recreation, sport, and the companionship of their families on Saturdays, or religious observance on Sundays, these preposterous ideas must be resolutely crushed. "G.A.N.F." should not weaken and allow himself to think there might be something in the 40-hour, five-day week after all"; otherwise he might even think that his and his family's welfare is of more importance than the cattle —I am. etc.,
AGRICOLA,
