Hall and Meason. SOUTHLAND LAND. IN AGAIN OFFERING LAND IN SOUTHLAND FOR SALE "^rt^E feel even 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. In connection therewith wo quote the following from the Timaru Herald • — 'Skttiemknt m SoTTniAND. — It is always pleasing to hear of the well-doing of old friends. Wo reprint from tho Mataura Ensign an interesting account of the farms of a number of settlers formerly resident m South Canterbury. "Our reporter m his rounds recently visited Titipua Valley and the country between tlio Titipua and Hedgehopo streams, a largo part of which was some two and a half years ago purchased and settled by Messrs Hall and Meason, of Canterbury. At that timo thero was not a settler, there was not a feneo, thero was not a sod t urneil ; now m the particular part referred to there aro upwards of 1200 acres under crop and broken up. Mr Coonier has close on 400 acres, about 150 of which are m crop, principally oats, which should run 50 bushels to the acre' all round ; and competent judges say that m some parts tho yield will reach 70 bushels per acre. His wheat should go 40, while some 30 acre 3 of turnips are as fine as one could wish to see. The next furm is that of Mr Clarke, who has some 150 acres broken up and chiefly m oats, also looking well j while next to him is Mr Aliutt, with a largo block, also principally m oats, but with some wheat, mostly looking well, especially the oats. The most interesting feature on this farm is a largo overshoot waterwheel 12ft m diameter, built entirely by Mr Allott himself for chaffeutting and threshing purposes. Neit Mr Allott is Mr Duffell, who has fenced and broken up a considerable block, novr fallow. Behind him is Mr Essery, who has built a good house and broken up somo 150 acres for next year. Behind him again is Mr Moorhead, with some 130 acres of oats and moro broken up. Mr Allott and Mr Coomor have excellent gardens, which keop 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 by tho rabbit and rabbiter — will present stacks of valuable corn m every direction. The Road Bonrd has lately done some good work m making cuttings and bridges, which will enable produce to bo brought easily to market. Perhaps the n ost marked effect of settlement both here and m other part* of Southland is the almost total extinction of tho rabbits by systematic poisoning by ptioi*i>horisecl oats. Where formerly one" saw rabbits m every direction, now you do not sco half a dozen m a day's ride. WE NOW HAVE 6300 ACRES, Which we can Dispose of m FAB.MS of from 150 ACRES and Upwards. PRICE, JE3 to JBS AN ACRE. We are not laying down any hard and fast terms, but are open to make SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS TO SUIT PURCHASERS. The WHOLE of the PURCHASE MONEY may remain UNPAID (if required) for A Term of Tears. INTEREST Will be CHARGED at an EXCEEDINGLY LOW RATE, and if required, an aiTangement can be mndc for NO INTEREST TO BE PAID THE FIRST YEAR, OF TEE LAND ITSELF We may say it consists of LOW ROLLING DOWNS, all Tloughable, 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 on 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 mako is a bare living, and that year by year they grow older, but no better off, and that year by year the valuo of agricultural land is becoming steadier, and moro difficult for people of small means to acquire. Especially has it done bo m tlm district. And whether they would not bo wise to purchase larger farms m Southland, off which they not only can mako a better living, but which must increase m value as settlement progresses. Another important point- to consider is that with tho price of groin as low as it is now, far moro is to bo mado by Stock producing, than by grain ; and that there ia no better grass and turnip land than m Southland.
