moval would result in direct,
substantial, material loss and

that an available supply of per
sons competent to take his place
does not exist.
In the new regulations a farm
laborer is said to be skilled"
when he is especially fitted for
the work in which he is engag

has given tie following definition:
"A skilled farm laborer is one
who has the strength, intelligen
ce and experience to perform,
acceptably, the ordinary farm
operations of the district, COM
muaity or farm concerned, whe
Their in fields, ranches, orchards
or barns"
