MISSION STATION LAND.
offered ron cKorraro. (From Our Correspondent.) HASTINGS, Tuesday. An offer of land to assist in increasing production has been made by the Greenmeadows Mission Station. The manager, Father D. C. Milligan, has offered a Waitangi property of 120 acres to the Government for tihe period of the war and six months after or for two cropping periods, whichever is the longer. The property consists of country which produces well, With thin, the total area now available in Haiwke's Bay is 570 acres, 270 acn-s o" which are on the Heretaun'ga Plains, and the remaining 300 aer«s represent good grain country in Central Hawkc's Bay.
Tile difficulty in handling land for cropping lies in the fact that the Naftonal Council of Primary Produfftion has no funds for this purpose aad so far the Government ha-s made no finance available for work of thfe kind. However, it appears likely through the co-operation of merchants in Hawke'a Bay that the land offered for orappinpr in tfliie province will be utilised to the full.
