Migrants (Internal - temp.)

Clear that far more young people stay on the land here than in S., and that some at least are still prepared to be oban etc.
(i) They say no young men go away to work till they are about 15.

(ii) That they have no "taaron" {subcontractors} or such in the village.

Still, they do have young men and indeed many of them go away to earn; almost all, probably.
