SHELTER ON UNIMPROVED LAND.
(To the Ediior.) Sir, —With the view of showing the evil that the single tax law would bring upon the settlers, I now beg. leave to draw the attention of the public generally to the fact that during the very dry weather that we have had lately, my sheep and cattle would have died but for the native herbage in the fern and bush, where there is plenty of shade and shelter in the hottest sun, instead ot being, as they now are, quite healthy and fat. This very dry season has, therefore, been a very good test of the great advantage of a farmer having a part of his land what is called " unimproved:" I would advise all farmers to keep a piece of unimproved land with the native herbage for feed and standing bush for shelter, and it would not be at all fair that a farmer should be prevented from doing this through the Single Tax or any other unjust law.—l am, etc., C. A. ANDERSON. Glen Farm, Upper Waiwera, Mar 14.
