| Hull and Meason. SOUTHLAND LAND. IN AGAIN OFFERING LAND IN SOUTHLAND FOR SALE X^7"E fc °l cvcn more confidence in doing so than we did formerly, for tho results to those who have already] PURCHASED FROM US ARE BKYOND OUR BEST EXPECTATIONS. * In connection therewith we quote tho following from tho Timaru Herald : — 'c^ETTI.KMKNT IN SOfTnLANn. —It is til ways pleasing to hear of the well-doin" of . ohlf.k-nds. Wo reprint, from the Matavra Easipn nn interesting ii-count of the farms of a number of settlers foiinorly resident in South Canterbury. "Our reporter in his rounds recontlr visited Titipun Valley and the country t between the 'litipim and Hodgehope stie::ms, a lnr«e part of which wiis some two and n half years „<ro purchased and settled by Messrs Hull and Meason, of _ Canterbury. At that time there was - not :i settler, there was not u fence, there was not n sod fumed ; now in the particular part referred to there are upwards of 1200 acres under crop and broken up. Jl'r Cuomer has close on f'O nei-cs, nbout 150of whieli are in crop, principally oats, which should run. s'.' bushels to the ncre all round : and competent judges say that, in some parls the yield will reach 70 bushels perucie. His wheat should go 40, while some 30 acre- of turnips arc ns line as one could wisli to sec. The next farm is thut of Mr Clarke, who has some 150 acres broken up und eh'cllv in oats, also looking well ; while next to him is Mr Allott, with n large block, also principally in oats, but with some wheat, mostly looking « ell, especially the outs. 'Die most interest ing feature on' this farm is u large overshoot watcrwheul 12ft in diameter, built entiely by Mr AUott himself for chnffi-uttini; ami tiircshiii" purposes. Next Mr Allolt. is Mr DufiVll^ who has fenced and broken up a considerable block, hot, fallow. Behind him is Mr Kssery, 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 more broken up. Mr Allott nnd Mr Coomer have excellent gardens, which keep them supplied with all ordinary garden produce. Their potatoes it would be dimVult to excel. They have also planted n goodly number of forest, trees, principally pines, which aro doing wonderfully well. All are now busy harvesting, and in the course of a week or two tho country — form, rly a vast uncultivated waste inhabited by the- rabbit and rabbiter — will present stacks of valuable corn in every direction. The Road Board has lately done some good work in making cuttings and bridges, which will enable produce to be brought, easily to market. Perhaps the most marked effect of settlement both here and in oilier part-, of Southland is the almost total extinction of the rabbits by systematic poisoning by phosphorised outs. Where formerly one saw rabbits in every direction, now you do not see half a dozen in u day's ride. WE NOW HAVE 6300 ACRES, Which we can Dispose of in FARMS of from 150 ACHES and Upwards. PRICE, JB3 to JBS AN ACRK. We are not laying down any hard and fast terms, but are open to make SPECIAL ARRANGKMENTS TO SUIT PURCHASERS. The WHOLE of the PURCHASE HONEY may remain UNPAID (if required) for A Term of Tears. INTEREST Will be CHARGED at nn EXCEEDINGLY LOW RATE, nnd if required, an arrangement can bo made for NO INTEREST TO BE PAID THE FIRST YEAR. OF THE LAND ITSELF We may say it consists of LOW ROLLING DOWNS, all Plonphnble, with Permanent Streams in the Valleys, and is situated four and a half to nine miles from three or four Railway Stations on the Main Lne from Diniedin 'to Invercargill, so that Produce or Sheep for Freezing can be sent to either Market. COAL is found almost everywhere, and ns 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, tho 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 vuluo of agricultural land i» becoming steadier, nnd more difficult for people of small means to acquire. Especially has it done so in this district. And whether they would not bo wise to purchase larger farms in Southland, off which they not only can make a better living, but which must increaso in vuluo as settlement progresses. Another important poinl to con-si-lor is that with the price of grain as low ns it is now, far moro is to be made by Stock producing, than by grain ; und that there is no better grass and turnip land than in Southland.
