Dominion Special Service. DUNEDIN, September 29. The serious shortage of labour for jfarms "was emphasized at a meeting ot the Otago Provincial Council of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union. Several members criticized the procedure that had to be followed by farmers in their efforts to secure the release of men from the Army. “There are far too many men loahng about the military camps of New Zealand,” said the chairman, Mr. \V. Lee. . Mr. James Begg: Eight, thousand men 'have ‘been, released, according to Mr. McLagan. , , «.Mr. Lee: Not one of them has come to our district. Mr. Begg: Everyone says the same. After discussion in committee it- was resolved that it be a recommendation to the National Service Department that a responsible officer should be put in charge of all applications for farm labour and should be given : authority to act according to his own judgment on cases placed before him. A further' resolution was adopted expressing concern at the apparently cumbersome method provided tor the release of grade 1 men recommended by armed forces appeal boards, for the carrying on of primary production.
