Mr. Falconer, labour agent, :Gore, stated to the Mataura Ensign that despite the fact that it was practically impossible to place ploughmen about three months ago, there is now an unusual demand for this class pf labour. The cause of this unexpected change, he says, is attributable'to the fact that owing to there being little prospect of an improvement in the prices of wool i and stock many farmers are being com- '> pelled to go in for cropping at the > eleventh hour. Wages for good plough- , men have increased considerably during i the last few weeks, in some cases £2 -. 5s per we«k being offered where only I 30s eeuld be obtained before.
