FARM SUPERVISORS
LABOUR & OTHER DIFFICULTIES. SUGGESTION PLACED BEFORE FARMERS’ UNION. The appointment of farm supervisors was suggested to yesterday’s meeting of the Wairarapa Provincial Executive of the Farmers’ Union, to meet labour and other difficulties, due to men being absorbed in the armed forces. The proposal came from Mr Alox Morrison, who wrote suggesting that farm supervisors, preferably men over military age or unfit tfor service, should be appointed to control the work on farms in their particular districts, such supervisors to be elected by the farmers of the district and to control all workers in the area. Mr R. D. MacKenzie said the question had been exercising his mind for some time. He agreed that there should be specialists in each district to supervise the farms. The opinion that the suggestion was tackling the problem from the wrong en.d was expressed by Mr L. T. Daniell. “Every man who can use a rifle should be trained to use that rifle,” said Mr J. C. Cooper, who added that the position of meeting farm labour in peak periods could be met to some extent if men could be released temporarily from military duties. Consideration of the matter was deferred.
