TTalland Measori; SOUTHLAND LAND. IN AGAIN OFFERING LAND IN SOUTHLAND FOR SALE V^7"E feel even more confidence m doing sc than we did formerly, for the results to those who havo already PURCHASED FROM US ARE BEYOND OUR BEST EXPECTATIONS. In connection therewith we quoto tho following from the Timaru Herald : — 'SsiTiJiiiKNT ls Southland — It is always' pleasing to hear of the well-doing of old f : iends. We reprint from tho Jfa/mtra Ensiia. sn interesting account of the farms of a numher of settlers! formerly resident m South Canterbury. " Our reporter m his rounds recently visited Titip'ua' Vnlley and the country between ■ ; (sne Titipua and Hedgehope streams, a large part of which was some two and: a half years ago purchased and eeltled by Messrs Hall and Meason, . of Canterbury. At that time there was not a settler, there wns not a fcuce, there was not a sod turned ; now m the particular part referred to there are upwards of 1200 aores under crop and broken up. Mr Coomer has close on 400 acre?, about 150 of which are m crop, principally oats, which should run 50 bushels to (he acre all round ; ond competent judges say that m eoine parts the yield will reach 70 bushela per acre. His whent should go 40, while some 30 acres of turnips are as fine as one could v?i»h to see. The next farm is that of Mr Clarke, who bus some 150 acres broken and chiefly m ont#, also looking well ; while next to him is Mr Aliott, with a largo block, also principally m oats, but with some wheat, mostly looking well, especially the oata. The. n-jost interesting feature on this farm is a large overshoot wnternheel 12ft m diameter, built entirely by Mr Aliott himself for chaffcutting and threshing purposes. Next Mr Aliott is Mr Duffell, who has fenced ond broken up v, considerable block, now fallow. '- Behind him is Mr Sffory, who has built a good hou^e 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. Me Aliott and Mr Coomer have excellent gardens, which keep them supplied with all ordinary garden produce. Their potatoes it would be difficult toiexcel. They, have also planted a goodly number of forest trees, principally pines, which are doing wonderfully well. All ore now busy harve?ting. and m the course of a week or two the country — formerly a vast uncultivated wiijte inhabited by the rabbit and rabbiter — will present stacks of valuable corn m even- direction. The Soad Board lias lately done sonio good work m making cuttings and bridges, which will enaole produce to he 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 phospborised oatj. Vvhere formerly one saw rabbits m every diieotion, now you do not see half _a dozen m a day's ride. ' WE SOW mVK 6300 ACRES, Which we can Dispose of m PAaHS of from 150 ACRES and Upwards.

The WHOLE of the PURCHA3E MONEY may remain UNPAID (if required) for A Term of Years. IITTEKEST Will be, CHARGED at ah EXCEEDINGLY LOW RATE, and if required, an arrange- j ment can be made for NO INTEREST TO BE PAID THE FIE3T YEAR. OF TEE LAND ITSELF | We may say it consists of LOW ROLLING DOWNS, all Ploughable, with Permanent Streams m the Valleys, and is situated four and" a half to nine miles from three or four Railway Station? on the Main Line from Dunedin "to Invercorgill, so that Produce or Sheep for Freezing can be aent to either Market. COAL ia found almost everywhere, and as a good BUSH (Reserved by Govefcnment), U within a mile of most of the land (a License to Cut con be obtained for JEI aj-ear), FENCING MATERIAL IS VERY CHEAP, as also is BUILDING I TIMBER. We again wish to impress on Farmers 6iid others, especially Small Formers and Contractors with Farming Plant, tha followmgfacts:— 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 wi«e to purchase larger farms m Southland, off which they not only can make a better living, but which miist increase m value as settlement piogresecj. : Another important point to consider is that with the price of groin as low as it is now, fur more is to be made by Stock producing, than by grain ; and that there is nc-better^grass. and turnip land than iii Southland, HALL & MEA3ON, TTMARU. 2.
