Practical Men Voice Highest Opinion of Fertility of This District and Predict Great Future.

As it is only natural that the people of tins uislr.ct should speak in high terms of us fertility and possibilities, the opinions of outside men, possessing practical experience, is of great value, Here are some extracts from statements made by such men : After spending some weeks in your district I am impressed witn its fertility and possibilities. At the same time 1 wish to emphasise the need lor belter farming methods to secure a full return from the land. Another farmer from the Wuikato told an ' Age" reporter that he considered the d,strut ideal lot dairying. With mire population on the land an 1 up-to-date methods it could be made one of the best in the Dominion, A third visitor from Taranaki declared: I have come to ihe conclusion simee I came litre, alter stuuymg y.eld and prices, that a man wuu small cap.tal can do betler in the North than in Taranaki. Another farmer’s opinion is that if the capacity and quality Ct the land were properly made known the sons of Taranaki and Waikato farmers who are looking out lor country, on account ol the high price of land in their own ! home districts, there would be a j large number that would settle here and their presence would j lead to the adoption of more | profitable methods of working ! the land generally. Says one of the best known farmers in the Wairarapa: Alter six weeks in the North i unhesitatingly give the opinion that the district offers splendid opportunities for success to the dairy farmer, and I believe that one* tlie pr.ee 01 iand and pr va.l ng conditions are known a i.u, « number ol new settlers will gladly I make ineir way here. Traveling Cpnnd, of course, one hears of Uie local troubles, but every district j has ‘its own peculiar troubles. I There is nothing wrong with North.
