LAND FOR SALE MLAUCHLANi AND CO.. REAL ESTATE AGENTS, BLENHEIM. MAKE YOUR HOME In SUNNY MARLBOROUGH. 9} ACRES 9} Of APPLE LAND. 2i miles from Town, close to good school* 5 acres planted with 624 apple tree* last year;. 2 acres in oats, 2J acres grass. This land is close to Springlands, and. for land closo by .£125 per acre has been refused. It is well adapted for growing oceu beans, seen potatoes, clover or lucerne seed. COME ACROSS To BLENHEIM and inspect this block. Between the tree* you couid plant seed beans at 10s .per bushel contract price, and get a yield of. say, 50 bushels per acre; 5 acres in. lucerne womtl keep 5 cows. You could grow onions, potatoes, clover seed and o.her produce which grows here to perfection without artificial manure. £BO PER ACRE £BO and more can be made .out of a good apple orchard apart from side lines. MAGNIFICENT CLIMATE and RICH SOIL Is what Marlborough is . noted for, aa proved by record yields of grain, and seeds, and some fields have been cropped year in and year out for the last 30 years without manuring. Some of the yields last year were 33 tons of chaff from 51 acres at £3 per ton, £660 worth of lucerno seed from, 23 acres, and 73 bushels of seed peas per acre at 5s per bushel, and wo ourselves grew HJ sacks of clover seed on 4| acres and sold for £7O 10s, and grew besides 9 tons of clover, hay, worth £3 per ton. Another farmer grew 3 sacks of lucerne seed to the acre. All these yields are due to excellent climate and rich soil. BLENHEIM FARMS might sound dear to outsiders, but the} should consider no noxious weeds, rich soil, unequalled climate, no artificial manures required, record yields of aJ kinds, and, GREATEST OF ALL. will be the subdivision of the largt Estates, as in Marlborough (o-day twelvo persons hold 360,000 acres, 74 own 2 million acres or two-thirds of the Province, and one Estate owns over 50,000 sheep and over three parts of the profits from which go to absentee owners in othci countries. . AS EVERYONE KNOWS that this monopoly of land must cease, and ns the town of Blenheim has been kept back for many years by being surrounded by large Estates, therefore it is the best to invest your money in, ns la it likely that the people of New Zealand will pay taxes , for defence or increase the birth rate when a few persons hold the country where thousands of settlers should have homes? FOR 45 MILES by a good level road you can travel up the Wairau Valley from Blenheim where most of the large Estates are, and for 20 miles the road goes through three Estates capable of great improvement and absolutely starving for settlement, yet we defy anyone to be able to buy an acre or 100 acres out of these Estates. BUT REMEMBER. when they are settled Marlborough*® population will doable immediately.
