' There are IS Farms, ranging from 93 to 281 ACRES. ) The nature of the laud is about half s undulating and half swamp. ■ The undulating land-is really good, , and requires to be seen to be appreciated. This poition is now in fern ■ and tea-tree, and thn whole could bo ploughed by tractor, being nearly all the easiest of undulating country. Tho lower land is essentially a peat swamp. It is, however, a swamp which would come in very, much faster than the general run of peat lands, and consists of hundreds of acres of swamp of fairly good quality, partly drained by ' tho main drain running right through and now growing flax. These head- ■ lands aro very valuable acquisitions to the various farms, and by further draining would grow the best of pastures. In order to ensure tho successful draining of the swamp lands the Waikato Land Company will maintain the main drain right through at tho expense of the various occupiers.' Tho undulating country also is good, strong land, and would bo hard to beat as a cropping proposition. It is generally conceded by farmers that the oat crops i aro equal to those in Canterbury, which is a high recommendation. The improved farms in the neighbourhood speak volumes for this land as dairying coun- ; try. . , Four of the Sections'are now growing aa abundance of black wattle; these " sections aro worth a. high figure for the I timber alone, and the price over the whole is ridiculously low. !
