Generally speaking, the shortage Of
labor is felt in every agricultural com
munity in the United Kingdom. and in
many cases it has compelled a change
in farming methods.
In some sections the scarcity Of farm
hands IS not SO serious as the lack of
horses. The lack of male labor is
being filled, SO far possible by the
use OF female and child labor In the
dairy and in the care of small stock it
Is likely that male labor will be almost
entirely dispensed with. Much Of the
lighter field work also is being done
by women. and in the market garden
ing districts they may be seen in large
numbers At such tasks as wedding and
setting plants. On some of the smaller
