TIME OF TRAINING
VIEWS OF FARMERS MOST SUITABLE PERIOD As sheep farmers were busy all the summer, the winter was the best time to release labour, said Mr H. Johnstone, when members were dis.cussing at a meeting yesterday of the Waikato Sub-Provincial Executive of the Farmers’ Union the calling up of men for territorial training. The Minister of Defence had stated that for health reasons the department was opposed to territorial camps in the winter, said the chairman, Mr G. T. Crawley. The Government had given every consideration to farmers’ wishes.
In a remit, the meeting asked that urgent representation be made to the Government requesting that in the interests of primary production further consideration be given to the period of the year in which men were called up for territorial training. .
