Today with a greatly increased area it is being run very successfully as a grassland sheep farm with no supplementary winter or lamb fattening crops being grown. Although returns are good we are confident that with further cropping and further topdressing and pasture renewal even greater profits would be realised. The neighbours farming on similar type of land have made extensive use of spray irrigation to grow potatoes etc. The several soil types could be developed into an excellent town supply or stud unit. It is very seldom that a property with such splendid location, schooling facilities, homestead, supporting buildings and other improvements is offered for Public Auction. To the man looking for a good income and a secure investment we can confidently recommend inspection. For further particulars see The Press April 2nd. N.Z. FARMERS' CO OP. ASSN. LTD. CHRISTCHURCH.
