Close to railway station and school. Iwo frontages. Seven acres planted m apple trees, well sheltered, and in good order; balance in potatoes. This block, apart from the value of fche fruit fc-ees, must grow into greatvalue as a residential area. This block is for quick sale. Owing to its certain future value, good terms can b« given. 5© Acre Farm Three miles from Sp-ring Creek Railway Station. Good dwelling and outbuildings, and well feaced. "We specially recommend this property as an ideal lucerne seed farm or as a dairy farm. The farmers of Marlborough d« 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 'parta would sell «t £100 per I aero. 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 unlimitedl demand for butter and cheese at high prices throughout the world. Canada, which was a great exporter of cheese and butie*, is to-day importing, also many other countries. > • Closer Settlement and closer settlement still must come. Think of New Zealand with its I millions of acres lying idle or held by | a few owners in large areas, and | Marlborough is the chief sufferer, j where there is four times the area of land to b* yet settled to any other province in the Dominion. One estate alone holds 160,000 acres, and a rise of 2d per 1b in wool means an mii creased 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. i ___ Dersmark, 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 laud, exports 25 million pounds' worth of butter and cheese per year, or more than tie whole of New Zealand's total esporte of all kinds, including wool. Land ValisesIt is eereain that land must rise on the Wairaw Plains eaual to other parts. Light land that is to-day worth £30 per acre will be worth £6C in lucerne, and £60 ncr acre land must soon te £100, and high values mean closer settlement, and with improved, farming 50 aoree will produce what 100 ft-eres do to-day. In Australia good lucerne land close to a factory is worth £125 per acre in »A~%Z rt lo?: and ** £100 to j SMW for dairying. These values 'seem tugh, osffc tney are correct. Riversdaie Suburb.
