A fact .which is attracting some notice at present, according to an Auckland e-x----chango, is the number «f Canadians and Americans who liavo recently arrived in tho Dominion. Many are engaged in harvesting and other farming operations in the country, and it appears that moro aro likely to follow from tho States. Otto farmer said they wero out to spy out the land, and tlwy would settlo here if they found conditions satisfactory. In America it was bdeomiag increasingly difficult to secure suitable farms at a reasonable figure, and the rigour of the winter in the Middle and Eastern States mado life hard, Mr. David M'Konzie, the/ Now York millionarro motorist, who is touring the world by car, and recently wont through _ the North Island, expressed tho opinion that if only New Zealand's advantages as , a farming country wero properly advertised in America, there would undoubtedly be a large influx of settlers to tho Dominion from tho northern continent. Tho opening of tho Panama Canal for traffic would help facilitate tho movement from tho Eastern J and Central States. •
