IN AGAIN OFFERING LAND IN SOUTHLAND FOR SALE *» MTE feci even more confidence m doing so than wo did formerly, for the results to those who have already PURCHASED FROM US ARE BEYOND OUR BEST EXPECTATIONS. In connection therewith we quote the following from the Timaru Herald : — "Settlement m Southland. — It is always pleasing to hear of the well-doing of old friends. We reprint frora the Mataura Ensign an interesting account of the farms of a number of settlers formerly resident m South Canterbury. "Our reporter iv his rounds recently visited Titipua Valley and the country between the Titipua and Hedgehope streams, a large part of which was some two and a half years ago purchased and settled by Messrs HaU and Meason, of Canterbury. At that time there was not a settler, there was not a fence, there was not a sod turned ; now m the particular part referred to there are upwards of 1200 acres under crop and broken up. Mr Coomer has close on WO acres, aboufc 150 of which are m crop, principolly oats, which should run 50 bushels to the acre all round ; and competent judges say 'that m some parts the yield will reach 70 "bushels per acre. Hia wheat should go 40, while some 30 acres of turnips are as line as one could wish to see. The next farm is that of Mr Clarke, who has some 150 acres broken up and chiefly m oots, also looking well ; while next to him is Mr Allott, with a large block, also principally m oots, but with some wheat, mostly looking well, especially the oats; The most interesting feature on this farm is a large overshoot waterwheel 12ft m diameter, builfc entii ely by Mr Allott himself for chaffcutting and threshing purposes. Next Mr Allott is Mr Duffell, who has fenced and broken up a considerable block, now fallow. Behind him iB Mr Essery, who has built a good house ond broken tip some 150 acres for next year. Behind him again is Mr Moorhead, with some 130. acres of oots and more broken up. Mr Allott and Mr Coomer have excellent gardens, which keep them supplied with all ordinary garden produce. Their potatoes it would be difficult to excel. They have also planted a goodly number of forest trees, principally pines, which are doing wonderfully well. All are now busy harvesting, and m the course of a week or two the country — formerly a vast uncultivated waste inhabited bythe robbit and rabbiter — will present stacks of valuable corn m every direction. The Road Board has lately done some good work m making cuttings and bridges, which will onable produce to be brought easily to market. Perhaps the most marked effect of settlement both here and m other parts of Southland is the almost total extinction of the rabbits by systematic poisoning by phosphorised oals. Where formerly one saw rabbits m every direction, now you do not see half a dozen m a day's ride. WE NOW HAVE 6300 ACRES, Which we can Dispose of m FABMS of from ISO ACBES and Upwards. PRICE, £3 to £5 AN ACRE. We arc not laying down any hard and fast terms, but are open to make SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS TO SUIT PURCHASERS, both as lo Principal and Jlnterest. I OF THE LAND ITSELF We may say it consists of LOW ROLLING DOWNS, oil Ploughable, with Permanent Streams m the Valleys, and is situated four and a half to nine miles from three or four Railway Stations on the Main Line from Dunedin to Invercargill, so that Produce or Sheep for Freezing can bo sent to either Market. COAL is found almost everywhere, and as a good BUSH (Reserved by Government), is within a mile of most of the Land (a License to Cut can be obtained for £1 a year), FENCING MATERIAL IS VERY CHEAP, as also is BUILDING TIMBER. We again wish to impress ou Farmers and others, especially Small Farmers and Contractors with Farming Plant, the following facts : — That on the small holdings they have here all they can make is a bare living, aud that yoar by year they grow older, but no better off, and tliat year by year the valuo of agricultural lund is becoming steadier, and more difficult for people of small means to acquire. Especially haa it done so m this district. And whether they would not be wiso to purchase larger forma m Southland, off which thoy not only can make a better living, but wliich must increase m value as settlement progresses. Another important point to consider is thafc with the price of grain as low as it is now, for more is to be made by Stook producing, than by grain ; and that there is no better graaa and turnip land than m Southland.
