ftwetiorjeers and Land Agerats ; i —. . : j . AND CO., REAL ESTATE i AND ' General Oo§7ii?^issior2 Agents.; . , 1 Spring Creek Land.; 10 Acres 1 Q 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 termß can be given. 50 Acre Farm Three miles . from Spring Creek Railway Station. Good dwelling and outbuildings, and well fenced. We specially recommend this property as an ideal luoerne 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 Wias a great exporter of cheese' and butter, is to-day importing, also many other countries. Closer SettSement 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 ■ iand tax and limit the areas. Denmark, Only the ske 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 land, exports 25 million pounds' w«rth of butter and cheese per year, ©r more than the whole of New Zealand's total exports of all kinds, including wool. Land Values. It'tis certain that land must rise on the Waira» 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 Ye £100, and high values mean close* settlement, and with improved farming 50 acres will produce what 100 acres do to-day. In Australia good lucerne land close to a factory is worth £125 per acre in 50-acre lot», and in Denmark £100 to u-u f,°iL dairyin g- These values seem nign, bdfc they are correct. Riversdale Suburb. Five Acres to 13 acres on the main rQad. Prices from £110 to £116 per acre. Easy terms. SsSsngton Suburb. Quarter-acres from £60 to £85 each. Terms: £10 deposit; balance m instalments to suit buyers. ftfiayfieEd Suburb. This is going to be the model suburb of Blenheim. Ten new houses are already up, and contracts let for others. The roads are all one chain wide with good footpaths. Price of sections still only £75 each. Terms only £5 deposit and £5 every three months. Very shortly these sections j must rise i» value, and you will never get the same terms as offered to-day. Nowhere else in the Dominion can you buy sections so cheap or get sacn easy terms as in Blenheim. Sections For Saie In Maxwell Road, Springlands, and Barnham (which is growing very fast sne is still the most sought aft*r residential district). No one has sold out or wants to sell on Farnham to go to any other saburb. It is high, healthy, and iree from dust, and is? an ideal spot in every way. Inspect it and prove for yourself. Push Biersheim. Write your .friends and ask them to spend their holidays in Marlborouo-h Frove to th«m that they cannot invest their money or live in a better district, as for future prospects, climate, and soil, which is unequalled j r*ost them ©very week the "Marl ( borough Express," and get them interested. i^cLAUCHLA^ & Co.
