WORK FOR YOUTHS
SUBSIDISED FARM SCHEME By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, July 22. The arrangements made by the Government for assisting farmers to employ youths on farms were announced to-night by the Acting-Minis-ter of Labour, the Hon. P. C. Webb Farmers willing to employ inexperienced but otherwise suitable registered eligible young men between the ages of 18 and 25 will be reimbursed over a period of six months generally to the extent of the sustenance allowance which otherwise would be payable. Mr Webb said the Government had been pleased to receive the suggestion from the Farmers’ Union Conference.
The conditions of the plan provide that youths registering for relief after this date must produce satisfactory evidence of age, that the subsidy shall not be payable to any farmer who is considered to have dispensed with regular labour to take advantage of the subsidy; that on the completion of the engagement the farmer shall supply a certificate showing the range of duties performed by the candidate and the manner in which they were carried out.
