FARM LABOUR
O\’ERCOMING THE SHORTAGE MOTOR-CAR IN .HAYFIELD HAMILTON, Oct. 25. A Waikato dairy farmer has found a novel way of overcoming his diffi culties with the labour shortage. He has decided that his wife, although hardly equal to driving two draught horses in a hay-sweep, could help him in a much less energetic way, and he has arranged to attach his hay-sweep to his motor-car and for her to drive it. Neighbours are expecting to see her in a few weeks driving the car about the hay paddock sweeping haycocks before her, while her husband carries on at the stack.
