Excerpt from The South African Mining and Engineering Journal, Vol. 31: March 5, 1921 This is fairlv satisfactory as far as it goes, but it should be remembered that at this time of the year a larger number of natives present themselves for employment than at any other period, because it is the imten ening or betwixt time between the seasons of ploughing and sowing of native crops. There is no likelihood of the increase being main tamed; on the contrary, it is fairly certain that, as in other veers when the incidence of the reaping season begins to make itself felt, there will again be a decline in the native labour returns.
