DAIRY FARM WORK
TO THE EDITOR Sir,—l would like to answer that letter from "Hard Worker" in Wednesday’s paper. He does not mention that he is a dairy farm worker and it is only in dairy farm work that I am interested at present, and it was of dairy farmers that I wrote when I said I knew several folk who required help. Most of the advertisements are for men who can milk, “ Hard Worker ” hopes I have help but does not say he would come if I had no one. I do not think, however, that he wants work on a dairy farm, as tractors are not common on one. If “ Hard Worker ” knows anything about dairy farms he will know there are award wages When I said I had only two hands in 9J years I meant permanent hands, of whom one stayed for 5J years and left to put his savings into a home and is now married. The other was here for four years and left to be nearer his mother. It was from no fault of mine therefore that they left. “ Hard Worker ” writes of the stamps he has used and questions whether I would have liked to have to pay for them I have spent 33s in advertisements, toll calls and telegrams.—l am. etc.. Dairy Farmer.
