That what has made it increase m value is settlement. That on tbe small holdings they have hero all they can make i3 a bare living, and that m ten years' time they will be so many years older, but no bott er off than they are now. That thoy should consider whether, m the interests of their families and their old age, they would not be wise to sell their small high-priced farms her«, which cannot increase much more m value, and purchase larger ones m Southland, off which they not only can mnke n. better living, but which must increase m value as settlement progresses, and leave the:n rich and independent by that means alone, und THE TERMS On which we are offering the Land Puts it within the reach of everyone.
