'■ 'M "The Timaru Herald, says .:— " Following' up the. extensive, purchases of. Crown land made the past twelve months, ' there has '.'J.'ibfeen a/large call for agricultural .labor'; the establishment of manufactories in bunedin and elsewhere has led to a depletion of the rSrikßjpf; skilled labor,; let alone the .drain caused by the numerous public works now . I( jin full swing throughout the colony. The '■ ' event - increasing array of employers has " literally dried up the domestic labor channel. ';•> ;.Andso, though immigrants are now arriving ( „'in( , f,«r,,nviniberß, yefc the cry of t^'e' land' is ' for ' labor— labor of all^ sorts. Unless this cry is satisfied, and that : speedily, the ' : farirer, we fear; has not the brightest pros-,-fivpect .before him. Xast harvest labor was scarce enough, but, unless the district. reLVOceivea; an accession of many hundred hands within the next few weeks,' the farmer will, wo fear, have Sobson's choit o placed before , him, he must let his crop rot on the ground, or pay such wages for its ingather- , ( ing s»s will millet him of all profit. With ; #I • th* farmer wef sympatbise'deeply. He has, • ' ir:l &V i: tießti* an ; upward struggle, and when Nature has been kind, and crops look well, 'LH thenrheia liable :to; be a victim to circutnstances,' entirely; beyond , his .control. We r . o,ysincerely0 ,ysincerely tr,ust that thejetease . of men from .vjjW'Plßblic'Works' may' be felt in ' ; the hUrVest field ; but tTje'addifton'thu's^ afforded 1 td the labor market is a mere flea-ni£e.'" Just now there is an opening for alarge amount of useful labor ; and it is to be hoped that a portion of it will arrive in the district in time for the coming season."
