Lately, the problem has be- come so acute that agricultural offic- ials of the agricultural federations and of government are giving it top prior- ity. Some answer to the question of how hired help can be kept on the farm is provided in the film "Workers On The Land" released by the National Film Board in conjunction with the Domin- ion Provincial Farm Labour Commit- tee for showing on the rural film cir- tuits in September. The film ques- tions the necessity of releasing all farm labour in the fall with the Complication of rehiring in the Spring.
