At the monthly meeting of the committee of the North Otago Agricultural and Pastoral Association, on Wednesday, a discussion arose regarding stopping Government co-operative works during the harvest season, and mention was made of the refusal of the Hon. J. G. Ward to grant the stoppage. It was decided to join the Waimate Association in suggesting to the Government that the number of men so employed should be reduced as much as possible in the harvest season. The committee was of opinion that a good deal of difficulty would be experienced this year in getting harvest labour.
