In the five years between the census of 18S6 and that which was taken last April the area of occupied land in New Zealand increased over three million and a-half of acres. In 1886, the extent of occupied holdings over one aoro in extent was 28,169,788 acres; in 1891 it was 31,867,505 These figures are worth remembering, as they effectually dispose of the miserable falsehood that the poiicy of the late Government, which prevailed for tho largest portion of thoso five years, was against the settlement of the country.
