HIGH AUCTION VALUES
(0.C.) WELLINGTON, this day. There was practical evidence of the demand for agricultural implements when the plant of a commercial gardener at Taita, who is giving up this type of primary production to begin sheep farming, was sold. A 12 h.p. rotary hoe brought £300, which is more than these machines brought new when obtainable. A tractor was sold at £170. which is slightly below the cost of the new article. The prices secured.for other implements were equally high.
