MILITARY FARM LABOUR
MORE SUPPORT WANTED In spite of a great deal of publicity, the farming community are. not making full use of the military sei-A-ice. set up to assist in harvesting and other seasonal operations. The reports on the Avork of the men, although they are not experienced farm Avorkers, -are highly saJ»sfactory, so it is hard, to understand when the cry for help is so> acute, that, greater .support is not g'nen to the service. Harvesting operations Inne. prior call for the assistance of the men. but if insufficient is offering at any time, then they are available for any other kind of farm work. During January more ac.Uivity in harvesting is anticipated and to meet that contingency a greater n,\imber of territorials are being mobilised, in the Matata camp.
