FOR SALE AND FOR SETTLEMENT. AREA OF AGRICULTURAL LAND OFKN FOR SALE IN SOUTHLAND. Under Deferred Payments 80,015 •ores For Direct Purchase ... 35,000 acres Land co veied with Bash, ■which, when cleared, is of superior quality for Agriculture ... 300,000 acres The price of deferred payment land is 25s and 304 an acre. The land is from 20 miles north to 16 miles sooth of the latitude of the month of the Taieri River, and is all from 2 to 38 miles to „the northward of the Clutha River at its month, Invercargill of the latitude of the Clutha, the average height above the sea level being 250 feet. The average quality of the soil is equal to any in the Australasian Colonies, and from climatic influences is capable of growing not merely excellent wheat, hut first-class oats and barley, and is peculiarly adapted for raising turnips and artificial grasses, thereby enabling the farmer to keep his land in perfect heart by a rotation of cropping; manure his land by feeding off his gre»' n crops ■with sheep and cattle, and fee-p him independent of a bad market for any particular cereal. A!l over the district there is firstclass limestone cropping out to fertilise the l»n«T when it may require it. of largo extent are scattered over it, providing timbers for building and fencing, and coal (lignite and the best brown coals) for fuel everywhere obtainable. The district is further intersected by railways, which open up the great valley* of Aparima, Oreti, and Mataura Rivers ; while a loop line from the Invercargill to Kingston Railway dem runs through the Waimea Plains and joins the Invercargill to Dunedin main line at Gore, and a line through the Forest Hill District will be constructed shortly. Thus carriage of produce to the seaboard or market is easy and cheap from any part of it ; and timber, lime, and coal, can be distributed all over the country at a minimum cost. The average yield of cereals per acre, taken fron the statistics of the Colony for the year? 1573 to IS7S, a? compared with Canterbury, are as follow :

It may be remarked that Invercargtllbeingsifraatad close toFoveaux Straits ia exposed to more rainfall and sudden charges than the interior of the district, only seven jnilea due north, where the climate is both drier and warmer, tut along the whole seahoard the land is extremely fertile, and much prized for grass and root crops. The experience of the last few years leads to the conviction that for all-round agriculture the supply of rain by no means exceeds the requirements of the land. This year the thermometer at Invercargill has averaged higher than any part of the Middle Island, and moat parts of the North Island, while there has been very considerably less rainfall in any part of the Colony.
