Armstrong, has issued Ifis figures as at Oc-. tober 30, showing the- actual position. These disclose that on that date there were 166 reported vacancies for farm workers. In 123 of these cases, the iarmers stipulated that only experienced men . should be supplied, while 43 farmers were wilJing to accept inexperienced men. A Dominion-wide survey showed that only 20 experienced. men were disengaged, but 239 inexperienced men were available, stated the Minister.
