Where else in the Dominion can you find land equal to the Wairau Plain for soil, climate, situation, and future prospects? yet -owing to being the centre of aai old agricultural district' is the most backward in every way of any province in the Dominion. Think! Just forty miles of railway built in forty years, a slow and obsolete train service; no Government Experimental Faims as in other districts; many large estates tc be settled almost on the towoi boundary; many large farms held by wealthy ownersl in ,native grass, which should be in lucerne in small holdings acrid used for dairying; , a good river with: 100-ton boats instead of 1000-ton boats. Yet Realise Blenheim is being forced ahead. A progressive Harbor Board intend to open the. river, which means untold wealth to'the district. ~'... •. The; expensive Main Trunk Line must stop at the Clarence Bridge in preference to the cheap revenue-pro-ducing ome up the Wairau Valley to the West Coast. Every argument is for the latter, and against the .former. HILLERSDEN ESTATE of 160,000 acres will be opened up for settlement in about six months' time. There are 12,000 aores of flat land in front which will grow lucerne for dairying. There will be over 1000 applications. Many other estates m*ust soon follow, if only for defence purposes, which will mean in a. year or so the doubling of the land.tax on large holdings, suitable for settlement, Besides what is the use of increasing the birth-rate or bringing out immigrants when 19 persons hold over one million acres in Marlborougih:, thus causing it to be hide-bound, unprogressive,. and depopulated, and to have fewer residents per square mile than any other province in. New Zealand. If New Zealanders* do not develop their land, an Asiatic Power soon will if the country has not the population and wealth to defend itself. Canada, United States, and Australia realise the danger, and New Zealajid must soon do so, and then the land will be settled and population pour in. Buy Your Section FKOM McLAUCHLAN & Co. while cheap, as where else can you buy a quarter-acres for £75, apart from the I easy terms. Blenheim's population and wealth must soon double with the country being settled.
