A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

SALE OF THE PICK OF WAIKATO

DAIRY LAND.

J Evert dairy farmer will be interested ito know that the Farmers' Co-op. Auctioneering Co., Ltd., Hamilton, has reI ceived instructions to sell in five farms , from 130 to 130 acres, respectively, the j I splendid Tower Estate of almost 1000 i j acres, situated at Matamata. No district in New Zealand has progressed so con- | sistently or offers such splendid possibilities. Excellent as these prospects were a year ago they are now far better still, due to the opening of the great Glaso J factory—the largest in the world— situated only two miles away from the estate. The Glaxo Company guarantees 2s per lb FOR BUTTER-FAT this year, while for ten years it guarantees to pay its suppliers 2id per lb more than butter, Id per lb more than cheese. The beautiful climate of the Matamata district is well known—there is no raw cold printer —there is all the warmth and beautiful sunshine of the North. As one closely connected with the New Zealand dairying industry said, the splendid climate alone makes the Matamata land worth £5 per acre more than any other part of New Zealand. There is also a new and up to date cheese factory at Matamata, while three auctioneering firms hold monthly sales at the town. In addition, the Matamata train service permits suppliers attending the Morrinsville and also theWaihou stock salesthe two largest sales in the Waikato district, held fortnightly. Matamata is only forty-seven minutes' express train journey away from Hamilton, the principal provincial city of the Auckland Province. It is within 5£ hours' train journey to Auckland with its 134,000 population, its glorious harbour, and its many natural attractions. The Tower Estate is close to a good school, while Matamata also possesses a manual and technical school. The property is close to the Opal Spring Bath and the Crvstal Swimming Bath, which have valuable medicinal properties. The land is well watered, and is situated on the MatamataTe Aronea Road. The Tower Estate comprises the best land in *a district which is the finest of a province. Forty years ago Mr. J. C. Firth selected Matamata as the pick of the territory, and chose the Tower block for the homestead because of 'its delightful situation and exsoil. Subsequently when the estate was cut up by the Government, Mr. MeCaw. then manager, was, given his choice of the blocks, and unhesitatingly selected the Tower Estate. No men know the district or the Matamata territory so well a s Mr. McCaw and Mr. Firth, and it is the strongest possible tribute to the Tower Estate that both of them selected |it as the best land in the territory. With j modern scientific farming and the utilisation of lucerne, the land should cany a cow to the acre right throughout the year. One of Australia's leading pastoralists recently visited New Zealand and motored throughout the Dominion. He said that Matamata and the Tower Estate was the finest land he had seen, and that this was the district thf>t he would most like to purchase in. The. terms of sale are most liberal, including, if required, financial assistance to farmers to purchase cows. An opportunity like this comes but j seldom. Grasp it —get into the district that offers splendid openings with a climate that enables you to really enjoy life, and where your butter-fat is guaranteed a high figure. The sale will take place at 11 a.m. on August 4, at the Town Hall, Matamata, It will pay farmers handsomely 10 take a trip to the district and look over the Tower Estate property.
