NEW ZEALAND LAND
“ALTOGETHER TOO DEAR” “I think that land in New Zealand is altogether too dear for the. pastoralists to make any progress,” said Dr. Thomas Oliver, D.Sc., principal emeritus of the Scottish Woollen Technical College, Galashiels, speaking in Palmerston North. “Land in the Lowlands around Edinburgh, and similar to that hero, is leased at £5 an ‘acre, M said Dr. Oliver, “ It is within easy 7 access of city markets. Your Innd pnTohaSed at £IOO an acre and-12,000 miles freilh the-market cannot possibly produce good results. Tho" London market, I am- informed, demands first-grade lambs at’ 861 b. That is absurd, because the Jamb is killed'Just at the time when it is inak* ing the most 1 growth. It has- been estimated at half a pound a day. bWe sell Itthibs up to flOlb. quite readily in Scotland.”
