Farmers in the district round Palmerston are experiencing ‘much difficulty in obtaining suitable men for farm work. One dairyman yesterday told our representative there ( that only last week he engaged, two men at 25s per week and found, but neither turned up in spite of promises to do so. His opinion was that the men, the bulk of whom can do no more than a good strong lad of twelve want a job entailing a few hours work morning and evening, 'with the intervening time for a rest and smoke. Operations on the farms are consequently much hampered, for. even though employers axe willing to give really g**.wages, they can't get really good men. The majority of those seeking work, it was said, are not worth 10s per week, for they are careless and wasteful, and seem to have no regard at all for the interests of the employers.
