County Staff As Harvesters
The Manawatu County Council has decided to make its employees available for work on farms during the harvest season. When Mr H. J. Fagan introduced the subject he said many more farmers would grow wheat if they were sure of getting suitable labour at harvest time. The county engineer, Mr H. V. Bond, said he had always made members of the staff available for harvesting every summer if their services were needed, and now that a national effort was essential to secure greater production county work would have to take second place.
