Farms for Soldiers.
Two areas of improved' farm land, comprising 749 acres and 495 acres respectively, , have been purchased by the Government between Lichfield and Tokoroa, near Putaruru for subdivision as soldier settlements. With the 1700 acres recently bought in the same locality from the Matarawa Land Company, a block of 2944 acres will be available for subdivision. The price paid for the two first-mentioned areas was £12 an acre. Regarded as land of excellent quality, the block is admirably suited for small-scale farming.
