Per Press Association. DANNEVIRKE, Feb. 19. Manv replies yvere received by the Southern llayvke’s Bay Farmers’ Union in ansyver to a questionnaire sent to tlie farmers by it. It indicated, said the president, that rather than pay the extraordinary yvages as they had been asked to do for labour, and also, oyving to the fact that they yvere unable to obtain efficient labour, the farmers had been forced to put their yvives and children into the milking sheds. The dairying members of the union admitted that this yvas so, and said that it yvas an extremely serious point. The president said that in tlie spring, yvhen the farmers really required additional labour, the union’s office had been inundated yvitli applications for labour which could not be supplied.
