ONE MAN FARMS
MANY CASES OF HARDSHIP FARMERS WONT APPEAL, At last Executive meeting of the Auckland Farmers' Union the question of how best to deal with cases of where the occupier of a one man farm had gone into camp or was likely to do so again cropped up. A letter from the Dargavillc branch stated that the matter was a very serious one in that area, adding : "The experience of some of our members, in being called up at short notice, leaving young wives with babies and large herds to be milked without extra help, has been niost disheartening." In the discussion that followed members again stressed the fact that many farmers who should appeal, really in the national interest, did not care to do so, and it was not easy to see how they could be dis-< suaded from what appeared to them as a patriotic obligation. Ultimately a resolution Mas carried for submission to the Dominion Executive: "'That all men in the farming and other essential industries who are balloted for full time military service should auotmatically come before Appeal Boards for a decision as to where they will render the besi national service.'"
