|
| | AND WHEREAS it is enacted by sub-section (3) of the said Section 17 that any order made by the Agricultural Wages Board under the said section may define the benefits or advantages (not being benefits or advantages prohibited by law) which may be reckoned as payment of wages in lieu of payment in cash and the value at which they are to be reckoned :
