IN AGAIN OFFERING LAND IN SOUTHLAND FOR SALE "V7STE fuel oven more confidence m doing so than we did- formerly, for the results to those /who have already PURCHASED FROM US ARE BEYOND OUR BEST EXPECTATIONS. lii conueetum'Llierewith \ve quote the following from the Ti mam Herald : — "Setti.i;mknt' m Southland.— lt is always plonking to hear of the' well-doing of old fi Lends. We reprint from the Matciitra HSiii/h an interesting account of the farms of a number. oi' settlers formerly, resident m South Canterbury. "Onr reporter hi his rounds recently visited Titipua Valley and the country, between the ■' 'Jitipua and Hedgehope streams, a liu'kc part of which was some two ancT "a/ hull years ago purchased and Hettied by Messrs Hall und M'euson, 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.clbse on i-' 0 acres', -about 150 of which are' m crop, principally o;its, which should run 50 bushel* to. the acre all 'round ; and competunfc judges say that m some parts the yield will reach 70 bushels. per acre. His wheat should go 40, while some 30 acres of turnips are as fine as one could" wish to see. The next farm is that of Mr Clarke, who has some 150 acres brok-e.ii up and ohietly m oats, also looking well ; wbile next to hinv is Mr Allot t, with a large block, also principally m oats, but with some wheat, mostly looking well, espet-ially the, oats. The most interesting feature on this farm is ii large overshoot waterwheel 12ft m diameter, built entiiely by Mr Allott himself for ebaffcutting ami threshing purposes. Next Jlr Allott is Mr Duffell, who has fenced und brokdn up a considerable blocky novv follow! .Behind him is Mr Essery, who has built n good house and' broken up some 150 acres for next year. Behind him again is Mr Moorhead, with some 130 acres of oat 3 and more broken up. Mr-- Allott mid- -Mr Gootner- have- excellent gardens, which keep them supplied with all ordinary garden produce.* Their potatoes it would be difficult to excel. They have also planted ;t goodly number of forest trees, principally, pines", which are doing wonder I - fully well. All lire now busy harvesting, and iv the course of a week or two the country — formerly a vast iiueultivaf 6(l wiist-e inhabited by the rabbit and rabbitcr — will present stacks of valuable corn m every ilireotion. The Road Board has lately done some good work m making cuttings and bridges, which will enable produce to be brought easily to market. Perhaps 'tfie « ost marked effect of settlement both here and m other parti of Southland is the. almost total .extinction of the rabbits by systematic, poisoning by phosphorised oats. Where formerly one saw rabbits m every direction, now you do not see half a dozen m a day's i'ide.' WE NOW HAVE 6300 ACRES, Which we can Dispose of m FARMS of from 150 ACRES and Upwards. PRICE, £3 xo £5 AN ACRE. . We are not laying down any hard and fast terms, but sire- open to make SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS TO SUIT PURCHASERS, both as to Principal and Interest. OF THE LAND ITSELF Wemay.say it consists of LOW ROLLING DOWNS, all Ploughuble, 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 be 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 oan be obtained for £1 a year), FENCING MATEBIAL IS VERY CHEAP, as also is BUILDING TIMBER, We again wish to impress on Farmers and others, especially Small Farmers and Contractors witli Farming Plant, the following facts :■— That on the small holdings they have here all they can make is a bare living, and that year by. year they grow older, but no better off, and that year by year the value of agricultural land is becoming steadier, and more difficult for people of small means to acquire. Especially has it done so m this district. And whether they would not be wise to purchase larger farms m Southland, off which they not only can mako a better living, but which must incveaso m value as settlement progresses. Another important point to con-, sider is. that with the price of grain as low as it is now, far more is to be made by Stock producing, than by grain ; and that there is no better grass and turnip land than m Southland.
