LAND AT TE KAUWHATA.
partly-made farms. GIVING SETTLERS A START. WORK MAKING PROGRESS. About 700 acres of the 1000 acres of Government wattle plantation at Te Kauwhata have now been felled. It is the intention of the Government to plough and grass the land and make it available for selection. Work has proceeded in varying degrees and a substantial area has now been ploughed and will he ready for sowing in February. Yesterday Dr. C. J. Reakes, Direc-tor-General of Agriculture, paid a visit to the area and told a Times representative on his return that the land was turning out very well and looked as though it could he converted into ideal farms, mainly dairying and to carry a few sheep. It is the intention to put an area ol' each farm in grass so that the settlers who enter upon the land will take over partly-made farms that should give them a return the first season and thus enable them to devote their capital to development work. The Government considers that the settlers entering upon the land will have a fair' start.
