The Agricultural Wages Board, in exercise of the powers conferred on them by section 17 of the Agricultural Wages Act, 1936 (No. 53 of 1936), and of every and any other power them in this behalf enabling, hereby order as follows :—

(2) This Order shall come into operation on the 28th day of April, 1952.

2. The Interpretation Act, 1937 (No. 38 of 1937), applies to this Order.

3. In this Order—

the word " summer " means the period commencing on the 1st day of March in any year and terminating on the 30th day of September in that year ;

the word " winter " means the period commencing on the 1st day of October in any year and terminating on the last day of February in the next succeeding year ;

the word " week " means any period of seven consecutive days.

4. The minimum rates of wages in respect of each wages district specified in the first column of the First Schedule hereto shall be the rates set out in the first part of the Schedule or Schedules mentioned in the fourth column of the said First Schedule opposite to the mention in such first column of such wages district and in the application of such rates to such wages district the following provisions shall have effect—

(a) where in the third column of the First Schedule hereto the whole of a wages district is mentioned as the scope of application of the minimum rates of wages fixed in respect of such wages district by this Order, such rates shall apply to such wages district universally.

(b) where in the third column of the First Schedule hereto special parts of a wages district are mentioned as the scope of application of the minimum rates of wages fixed in respect of such wages district by this Order, the rates of wages set out in the first part of the Schedule mentioned in the fourth column of such First Schedule opposite to the mention of each of such special parts shall apply to each of such special parts respectively.

(c) the rates of wages specified in any Schedule made applicable under this Order to a wages district, or to a special part of a wages district, shall in such wages district, or special part of a wages district, be payable in respect of the special classes of workers mentioned in the first column of such Schedule.

5. Where the minimum rates of wages set out in any Schedule hereto are made applicable by this Order to any wages district or to any special part of a wages district, and any agricultural employer in such wages district or special part provides any agricultural worker in his employment with all or any of the benefits or advantages specified in the first column of the second part of that Schedule, such benefits or advantages shall, for the purpose of computing the wages paid to such agricultural worker, be reckoned as payment of wages in lieu of payment in cash, and the value at which any such benefit or advantage so provided is to be so reckoned shall be that indicated in respect thereof in that Schedule.
