That what has mado it increase m value ia settlement. That on the small holdings they have hero all they can make is a bare living, and that m ten years' time they will be so many years older, but no better oiT than they are now. That they should consider whether, m tho interests of their families and their old age, they would not bo wise to sell their small high-priced farms here, which cannot incivuse much more m value, and purchase, larger ones m Southland, off which they not only can make a better living, but which must increase m valuo as settlement progresses, aud leave them rich and independent by that means alono, and THE TEKMS On wliicli wo are offering tho Land Pats it within the reach of everyone.
