Mr M. Davies said that the problem was due 'to the fact that thousands of farm labourers had been put out of work during the slump and; had taken other avenues of employment, and the men now offering -were of a less suitable type. Mr T. T. Murray, chairman, aaid that there were many men on placement officers’ books who were not suitable to most farmers. ; - Mr H. A. Hunt: They are .untrained. . ; Mr Murray; It is not that. The main trouble is that most of the men available are married and there 19 no arcommodation for them on most farms.
