M. FISH STORIES HEARD IN RHODESIA

ADVICE TO SETTLERS ‘PLENTY OF LAND, 8UT...” The fame of New Zealand's fishing and health resorts brought Mr. E. N. Carlton to New Zealand. He is assistant Government secretary in Northern Rhodesia, where New Zealand fish stories are heard quite frequently. T£R. CARLTON will visit Rotorua to take the baths there, and will later £0 trout fishing. He also hopes to do ti»e Milford Sounds trip and to do some quinnat salmon fishing in the South Island. ■There is plenty of land to be had f<ir farming in Rhodesia, Mr. Carlton said yesterday, but it is necessary to have between £2,000 and £3,000 capital before starting. Land can be bought for 3s an acre. He advises anyone going to Rhodesia to spend ;ame time on a farm before taking nol property there. Roads have improved very much in Rhodesia during the past two or three years and there is now a motor road through to the Kenya Colony. There has been a considerable de-

| velopment in copper mines during i recent times, but it is uncertain | whether the industry will be a success j or not. : Mr. Carlton lives near the Victoria I Falls and says that in the season as ! many as 200 tourists stay at the hotel i there every week. Accommodation is | excellent, and the tourist traffic is in- ; creasing each year.
