HAURAKI PLAINS
IN PROSPEROUS CONDITION,
Press Association. THAMES, May 16.
The Hauraki plains are attracting considerable attention, from buyers, and £75 per acre was recently realised for one section, while a block which was put up for auction brought £20,000, or in the vicinity of £SO per acre. The dry spell has improved the area considerably, and feed is plentiful. The total production last year was well over a quarter of a million sterling, and only a third of the plains has yet, been brought under tho ballot. The Minister for Lands has promised greater vigour in the drainage operations.
