Becoming Extinct
“Don’t you think you could manage if a reasonably good man was directed to you?” asked the chairman, Mr D. H. Cockbum, at the sitting of the Southland Armed Forces Appeal Board yesterday of a fanner who was an appellant on behalf of his son. Appellant: Is there one available? Mr . Cockburn: That is very doubtful. Appellant: I don’t think I could get a man to manage the team on my hilly land. Mr Cockburn: That is the difficulty. Good teamsters are becoming extinct. In another case it was suggested that it was equally difficult to get men capable of working a tractor on hilly country.
