Auctioneers ants Land Agents M'cLAUCHLAN AND 00., REAL ESTATE AND General Commission Agents, Spring Creek Land.. 10 Acres 1 0 Situated almost right in township. Close to railway station and school. Two frontages. Seven acres planted in apple trees, well sheltered, and in good order; balance in potatoes. This block, apart from the value of the fruit trees, must grow into great value as a residential area. This block is for quick Bale. Owing to its certain future value, good terms can bo given. 50 Acre Farm ■ Three miles from Spring Creek Railway Station. Good dwelling and outbuildings, and well fenced. We specially recommend this property as an ideal lucerne seed farm or as a dairy farm. . The farmers of Marlborough do not yet know the value of lucerne as a fodder plant, or for seed purposes, for the latter of which there is an unlimited demand in Australia at assured prices. Good lucerne land in similar situation to this farm in other parts would sell at £100 per acre. Call and we will prove it to you. Dairying Industry. This industry has not started yet, but it will naturally follow lucerne growing. There is an unlimited demand for butter and cheese at high prices throughout the world. Canada, which was a great exporter of cheese and butter, is to-day importing, also many other countries. Closer Settlement and closer settlement still must come. Think of New Zealand with its millions of acres lying idle or held by a few owners in large areas, ana Marlborough is the chief sufferer, where there is four times the area of land to be yet settled to any other province in .the Dominion. One estate alone holds 160,000 acres, and a rise of 2d per lb in wool means an increased income of £3000 this year. This money is not spent in Marlborough ot in New Zealand, but goes to the absentee owners. This is only one instance. No other country thai calls itself progressive would allow this. There'is only one remedy, that isr to double the land tax and limit the areas. Denmark, Only the size of Canterbury province, was 40 years ago almost bankrupt, j *°"<lßy> owing to closer settlement and the growing of lucerne and clover on poor land, exports 25 million pounds' worth of butter and cheese per year, or more than the whole of New Zealand's total exports of all Kinds, including wool. Land Values. I* *s certain that land must rise on the^ Wairau Plains equal to other Pa^ts- nn Light land that is to-day worth £30 per acre will be worth £60 m lucerne, and £60 per acre land must soon be £100, and high values mean closer settlement, and mth imr^i^ Tmjns 5° ynU Produce what 100 acres do to-day. f n Australia good lucerne land close to a factory M worth £125 per acre il hiih W?l rymg- Th«s« values Beem nagn, Mb they are correct.
