The average yield is unsurpassed in New Zealand, and the Grain produced in the district has always commanded top prices in both Provincial and London markets. Wakatipu Barley is eagerly bought up by Dunedin brewers, and the Wheat, owing to the sublime climate of the Lakes, has fetched the Highest Price iu London of any in the world. Attention is also drawn to the growing importance of the neighboring Maoetown reefs, which, as they get more opened, will employ a very large consuming population, enhancing the value of everything that can bo pioducedon a farm.
