• GORSE AND BROOM BEFORE ,'SETTLERS." "To apprecinto'New Zealand one .has. ..to' leave its; shoresj for' a while and seo' tho standard of •lifo- and things in general in. other lands," writes >a correspondent. '"A New Zealander who has been a good de.al abroad (especially in Australia) I have been greatly struck since my return by tho vast' waste of goodJand adjoining tho railway between Hatvori and. Good land devoted to tho growth of gorse, broom,: and,.;blackberries. • "Patella land is not exempt ; it-was on a par. with' that of th.o 'taihoa' . Maori. I always had an impression, that amongst New Zealand's million'' and' one laws that a 'noxious ■ weed', one. existed> and that inspectors were .'on tho/job' to euforce such. These acros and acres of waste are glaring acts of!idleness..and convey a very bad im-' pression to .the tourist,-aijd land-seeker. Such land'in many parts of Australia would bo considered a veritable Goldfinch'for grass." ; ,
