■ KAITAIA- In the Winterless North 1 "I regard Kaitaia as the most progressive town in the Far North."—Mr. G. J. Anderson, M.P., Mataura. "The swamps at Kaitaia and Hikoraogi, and along the .Wairoa River, could not be surpassed. "-Mr. G. J, 7 Anderson, M.P., Mataura. ' Following are the opinions of Southern Press Representatives, .who accompanied tie Parliamentary Xtraf, . January, 1917: "The richness of tho Kaitaia District was much commented on by Southern visitors, they not expecting to see such fine land and stock. The district is the richest dairying region in North Auckland. " The approach to Kaitaia clearly indicated rich flat lands, with large herds of fat cattle, and numbers of sheep. The visitors were much struck with the richness of the land, and voted the country the most fertile yet 86 "'" The Kaitaia district contains some of the richest land in New Zealand, but it'is only within the last few, years that it has come into its own. Dairying has given it prosperity." "At Kaitaia the country opened tho eyes of the Southern farmers, ft is on the *dge of a great swamp, which is now being reclaimed, and the soil is deep and extraordinarily rich." "The flats, despite the fierce heat, are deep in rich pasture, particularly around Kaitaia, which held great surprises for the party." " There is a huge swamp area near Kaitaia, in the extreme North, whose fertility makes it suitable for the, closest settlement." , , ~ . . ~ " Kaitaia is the centre of a rich district, and should have a good future. The land surrounding it is said by ex-Taranaki men to be as good as the Waimate Plains. The flats will some day carry a large population of dairy farmers, whilst the hills are suitable for sheep, carrying 2£ sheep to the acre." " The Kaitaia district is one of the most promising the party have seen during their long trip. With railway facilities the place will leap forward to prolific activity. ' "Kaitaia is the growth of less than two years. In the main street may be seen a number of very substantia! buildings, including handsome banking premise's, where the Bank of New Zealand carry on business. There is a hotel, two large boardinghouses, several good general stores, carriage factory, and other business premises. In the main street, too, is a handsome monument, erected to the memory of tie young men who have laid down their lives in the great war. Adjoining the township is tho dairy factory, whose output is over 500 tons of butter, and close by, stretching to the coast, i% the Kaitaia Swamp, with an area of about 20,000 acres. Only a small portion is owned privately, the bulk being Crown and native land, and the Government has undertaken to drain it. This alone will suffice to make Kaitaia a good business place, but tho town is the most convenient centre for a vastly larger area of good land, which, when brought in, will carry equal to 2£ sheep to the acre. Some of the occupied flat land in the vicinity is very rich indeed, perhaps equal to tie best in Taranaki when well treated."
