Solutions to the problem of the acute farm labour shortages are discussed. Camps for high-school workers, the provision of available workers by towns during peak seasons, large-scale transfers of workers to critical areas, and new sources of labour such as the armed forces are suggested. New labour-saving machinery, and the possibility of the cooperative use of labour and machinery are also suggested.
