THE LABOUR MARKET.
Mr Sksnb reports under date January 11 : — Country work is plentiful for haymaking, turnip and potato thinning, and any amount of dairy work. Ploughing is over, but picked men are being engaged in advance for harvest work. Town is still in trouble, and it is very painful to face so many city-bred people out of work, without the slightest hope of relief, and still they come from all parts of the world. How can we place strangers when our own youths have either to go a-begging or quit the country ? We want only hard-working country people here.
