A contributor to the Manawatu "Standard" writes: "It is interesting to note that, good farms in Aberdeenshire apse!! ing at from JCI4 to £16 10/ per acre, i a brother of mine having bought at the : latter price from the Marquis of Aberdeen. These farms will carry to each 100 acres 30 head of cattle (fat bullocks, 2J to 3 years) and 50 sheep, the former selling at from £36 to £55 per head and the .latter £4 15/ to £0 5 per head. ] Pigs realise £10 each, and -barley and oats, planted on -2.3 acres, command good prices. now does this compare for value with land in New Zealand at £100 to £150 per acre?" With reference to the coalmining dispute, Mr. Arbuckh'. secretary of the Miners' Federation, had little to say regarding a conference between the Coalmine Owners' Association and the Federation. The miners, ho said, would stand or fall by a conference, but at that con- I ference all the questions raised by the j federation must be discussed.
