MR MASSEY'S ARRANGEMENTS. Mr W F Mas sey has arranged with the Overseas Settlement Committee to extend their migration plans. He has authorised accepance as farm laborers men with little or no experience, provided that the migration officials are satisfied that such men are capable physically for farm work. A limited number of this class will be sent by each ship, but they will not receive the same wages as experienced men. Mr Massey also authorised the committee to accept without nomination any boys of the public school class, and about twenty of these will accompany each shipment. Arrangements are being made to accommodate these boys on experimental farms, pending other,suitable positions. He has also authorised the acceptance of girls whose only experience in domestic training has been that of private homes, as well as those trained in orphanages and similiar institutions- These will be accepted without nomination.
