It is reported that a wealthy Danish syndicate has already commenced purchasing operations 0 a- substantial sea 1 p- -having acquired seven large dairy farms in Te Aroha for .£45,000" It is hinted that even larger purchases are contemplated. Danish capitalists are going to make a settlement, and will import the people who will farm the land purchased not as freeholders, but as tenants of the syndicate. A few days ago 96 trucks of butter and cheese were lying in Wellington unloaded, and it was expected that by this week there would be quite 200 trucks (writes the Wairarapa Age).- As the directors of the dairy factories cannot get advances against the produce, unless it is actually on the steamer, they will not be able to pay out the monthly milk cheques, and the farmer will have nothing for the keep of himself and family.
