Auctioneers and Land Agents i¥lc LAUGH LAP! AND CO., REAL ESTATE IAND Genera! Commission AgentsSpring Creek Land. 10 Acres 10 Situated almost right in township. Close to railway station and school. Two frontages. Seven acres planted in apple trees, well sheltered, and in good order; balance in potatoes. This block, apart from the value of the fruit trees, must grow into great value as a residential area. This block is for quick sale. Owing to its certain future value, good terms can be given. 50 Aero Farm Three miles from Spring Creek Railway Station. Good dwelling and outbuildings, and well fenced. We specially recommend this property as an ideal lucerne seed farm or as a dairy farm. The farmers of Marlborough do not yet know the value of lucerne as a fodder plant, or for seed purposes, for the latter of which there is an unlimited demand in Australia at assured prices: Good lucerne land in similar situation to this farm in other parts would sell at £100 per acre. Call and we will prove it to you. Dairying Industry. This industry has not started yet, but it will naturally follow lucerne growing. There is an unlimited demand for butter and cheese at high prices throughout the world. Canada, which was a, great exporter of cheese and better, is to-day importing, also many other countries. Closer Settlement and closer settlement still must come. Think of New Zealand with its millions of acres lying idle or held by a few owners in large areas, and Marlborough is the chief sufferer, where there is four times the area of land to be yet settled to any other province in the Dominion. One estate alone holds 160,000 acres, and a rise of 2d per lb in wool means an increased income of £3000 this year. This money is not spent in Marlborough or in New Zealand, but goes to the absentee owners. This is only one instance. No other country that calls itself progressive would allow this. There is only one remedy, that is to double the land tax and limit the areas. Denmark, Only the size of Canterbury province, was 40 years ago almost bankrupt, but to-day, owing to closer settlement and the growing of lucerne and clover on poor knd, exports 25 million pounds' w«rth of butter and cheese per year, or more than the whole of New Zealand's total exports of all kinds, including wool. Land Values. n** J£ certain that'land must rise on the Wairau Plains equal to other parts. , Light,land that is to-day worth £30 per acre will be worth £60 in lucerne, and £60 per acre land must soon be £100, and high values mean closer settlement, and with impl OT?*ii? riain 2 £0 acres will produce what 100 acres do to-day. In Australia good lucerne land close to a j*etory is worth £125 per acre in o*~m Tf lo& and in £100 to fn? W^ag- These values seem nign, Bdfc they are correct. Riversdale Suburb. Fjve £ cr€s *° 13 *°res on the main tW- Pnces from £110 to £115 per acre. Jbasy terms. Islington Suburb. Quarter-acres from £60 to £85 each. Terms: £10 deposit: balance m instalments to suit buyers. Mayfield Suburb. This is going to be the model suburb of Blenheim. Ten new houses aT e already up, and contracts let for others. The roads are all one clnun wide with good footpaths. Price of sections still only £75 each.. Terms only £5 deposit and £5 every three months. Very shortly these sections must rise m vaiue, and you will never get the same terms as offered to-day JNownere else m the Dominion can you tuy sections so cheap or get shc£ easy terms as in Blenheim. Sections For Sale In Maxwell Road, Springlands, and Uarnham (which is growing very fast anc is still the most sought after residential district) No one has sold out or wants to sell on Farnham to go to any other suburb.
