RAILWAYS OPEN UP LAND FOR FARMING.— With the advent of the East Coast railway many acres of land in the Wairoa district which until now have been useless for farming, will be made available for settlement.

Now it is one of the richest farming areas. The railway embankment, which carries the line between Wairoa and Waikokopuis in the background.
