Hall and Meason. SOUTHLAND LAND. IN AGAIN OFFERING LAND IN SOUTHLAND FOR SALE *»^E feel even more conGdonco m doing so than wo did formerly, for the results to those who have already PURCHASED FBOM US ARE BEYOND OUR BEST EXPECTATIONS. In connection therewith we quote the following from the Timaru Herald :— 'SETTtKMENT !>' SOFTniAXD — It is always pleasing to hear of the well-doing of old friends. We reprint from tho Mataura Ensign an interesting account of tho farms of a number of settlers formerly resident m South Canterbury. " Our reporter m his rounds recently visited Titipua Valley and the country between the Titipua and Hedgehope streams, a larKe part of which was some two and a linlf years ago purchased and settled by Messrs Hall und Meason, of Canterbury. At that timo there was not a settler, there was not a fence, there was not a sod turned ; now m the particular part referred to there nre upwards of 1200 acres under crop nnd broken up. Mr Coomer has close on ICO acres, about 150 of which are m crop, principally oaU, which should run 50 bushels to the acre all round ; ond competent 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 nest farm is that of Mr Clarke, who has some 150 acres broken up and chiefly m oats, also looking well ; while next to him is Mr Allott, with a large block, also principally m oats, but with some wheat, mostly looking well, especially the outs. The most interesting feature on this farm is a large overshoot waterwheel 12ft m diameter, built entirely by Mr Allott himself for chaffeutting and threshing purposoß. Next Mr Allott is Mr Duffell, who has fenced and broken up a considerable block, now fallow. Behind him is Mr Essery, who has built a good house and broken up some 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 Coomer havo 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 by the rabbit and rabbiter— will present stacks of valuable corn m every direction. The Road Board haa lately done some good work m making cuttings and bridges, which will enable produce to be brought easily to market. Perhaps the n-ost marked effect of settlement both here and m other parts of Southland is tho almost total extinction of the rabbits by systematic poisoning by phojphorised oats. 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 FARMS of from 150 ACRES and Upwards. PRICE, £3 to £5 AN AGBE. We are not laying down any hard and fast terms, but are open to make SPECIAL ABBANGEMENTS TO SUIT PURCHASERS. The WHOLE of the PURCHASE MONEY may remain UNPAID (if required) for A Term of Years. INTEREST Will be CHARGED at an EXCEEDINGLY LOW RATE, and if required, an arrangement can be made for NO INTEREST TO BE PAID THE FIBST YEAB. OF THE LANS ITSELF We may say it consists of LOW ROLLING DOWNS, all Ploughiible, 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 Invereargill, 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 can be obtained for £1 a year), FENCING MATEEIAL 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 hero 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 moro difficult for people of small means to acquire. Especially has it done bo m tliia district. And whether they would not be wise to purchase larger farms m Southland, off which they not only can make a better living, but which must increaso m value as settlement progresses. Another important point, to con* si'ler is that with the price of grain as low as it is now, far more m to be made by Stock i producing, than by grain ; and that there is no better grass and turnip land than m Southland.
