There are the problems of finding a reliable, competent person, paying a competitive salary, providing housing, keeping extra records and -so on. For the worker there's the image of "hired man" and its lack of status in the farm com- munity. If a reliable farm work force is to be developed, it must start with the employer. Most farmers have never worked for anyone. e1$e and may aot see things the way an employee would. But good labour management is not something a person is born with - it's a skill that can be !earned. Anda skill that may be more important than the wages paid. A recent study showed that farm employees usually change jobs for, reasons other than wages. Farmers who hire farm workers are urged to attend the workshop on February i 5th. The program will cover employee recruitment, training, working conditions, authority and responsibility as well as maintaining em- ployee records. Farm wives are welcome. The workshop starts at 9:30 a.m. in Huron 'Hall at Cen-- tralia College, Huron Park. For further information or to. register for the workshop, contact: Doug Jamieson at Centralia College, 228-6691. .
