CATTLE: A progressively larger number of cattle are being run each year and during the winter just passed 206 were carried. STOCK SHELTER: An extensive planting programme has been car- : ried out with the result that numer- , ous well grown shelter belts provide ! adequate stock shelter and timber requirements of the property will be ample for many years to come. i AUCTIONEER’S NOTE: "Tyntesfield” can be classed as ! one of the most attractive proper- ■ ties of its sort in this well favoured ' area. It has been farmed by the j late Sir Robert Heaton Rhodes for ! many years. Practically nothing has been taken from the land, which is in the best of heart and fertility and the best of the ploughable land is capable of growing good crops of wheat, oats, barley, peas, seeds and lucerne. Very little topdressing either by aerial or surface application, has been , carried out. but neighbouring proI perties have had outstanding results j and have considerably increased their carrying capacity by the application of super and lime and aerial I seeding. . Circumstances permitting, the two, paddocks at present in Peas will be ; sown down with an appropriate mixI ture of permanent grasses at the expense of the vendor. i For anyone on the lookout for a property where development and improvement can be expected to follow. this block of Marlborough country should appeal. Malborough enjoys probably the best climatic' conditions in New Zealand, and the Homestead, set in pleasant surroundings, has a wonderful view and can be recommended as home to any- ] one.

Surplus stock normally sold annually will be disposed of before possession, and the usual standard flock land herd, with the plant and a Ismail amount of furniture, may, at I the option of the purchaser, be 1 taken over by valuation. !
