FARM LABOUR
Sir,—l cannot understand the talk of shortage, of farm labour when farm hands are advertising for jobs and various registry offices advertise that they have men waiting for positions. Perhaps those who affirm there is a farm labour shortage arc those AVho are very hard on their men and keep ridiculous hours. A good farmer can find labour at all times. A young man with whom .1 am friendly was in Hamilton tho other day and interviewed a prospective employer. .Because there were one or two minor jobs lie could not do he was not hired. This man is reliable in every way. I say that the shortage rumours are bunkum.
