Greymouth for the erection of houses for settlers on five blocks of land under the Small Farm Settlement Scheme of the Government. These blocks are at Wataroa, Matai and i Barry town, while negotiations arc at present in hand for establishment or several unemployed settlers at Potomanu and Ahaura. The officer in charge of the Greymouth branch, Mr Stevenson, said that the scheme had not progressed as well as it might have on the Coast, not through any dearth of applicants, but because of the reluctance of fanners to lease suitable land for settlement, they seeming to

ignore the advantages to themselves of the successful operation of the scheme. There comes a time in every woman’s life when the chemist is her best friend.
