:r ia sometimes remarkod that in. this )art of the colony our egge arc very nock ia one basket. Indeed the fact ■ecoived a good deal of local recognition luriug the last geueral election, At .hut time it was made clear euough that raauy of the working men of tho place looked upon it as a griovance that ho Little provision should have been made in the past for the setllcrneut of miners :m the land. What was meant was, ihat every effort had.not been mndo to I render it possible for mou inclined that way to obtain moderato sized areas of land within or T adjacent to the goldfiald. If settlement of the kind here indicated had been duly promoted thero ia little doubt that the saying about all our eggs being in one basket would have been much less applicable now than it-is. Yet, might something not be done, even in the existing state of things, to improve matters by turning the land already held or.available to more systematic use than is at present attempted ? It is enjoined on all men notfneglect the day'of small thiugs, but the injunction is sometimes least heeded where it should bo most attended to. It is possible to do much even with land in small areas, Fruit" growing, for example, is not carried on to the extent it might be in thia line climate. It is truo that hitherto there has been uo alkbsorbing market, but, happily, this excuse is not likely f> be applicable much longer, Let all who have or might have marketable fruit for sale keep their eyes upon the new order of things which is being introduced by Mr Lawry, manager of (he Auckland branch of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Cornpauy, As our coatemporary the Wangarei Advocate observes, "Mr Lawry was for raaoy years manager for the Company in San Francisco, and there caught his enthusiasm for the fruit iudustry, No man could live in California for any time without getting imbued with the value of developing the fruit industry. Californians say tho trade is worth more than all the gold and silver mines, because it is permanent—it goes on for ever—and it settles people on the land ; they stay there and build homes and become happy and contented, whereas mining is only a sticcese for the day, and one man succeeds at it where a hundred get buckled up in health and pocket, The one in an qual distributer of wealth, the other concentrates it, and makes tho millionaire and tho pauper, the jatter for choice. We are glad to ace Mr Lawry faking this great interest in the fruit trade, and fruitgrowers should gire him all the assistance iu their power," Aβ n matter o£ plain fact the success] of the new trade menus, that a district like this , may earn thousands yearly where it now earns' nothing, ft would therefore bo well if—in order to avail ourselves of tho. opportunities now open* 1 ing out iu this line—all who havo gardens, orchards, or orchardablo ground were to apply theinsslvea to f,ho system* aliocui'O of the trees they already haw and to the propor planliug of those trcos whose fruit is most likely to belie for tho English as well aa tho colonial market,
