“In spite of the difficulties with which the producer is faced in the future, difficulties not unconnected with the ahixJping ring and freights, and tho power of the Moat Trust, the value of both agricultural and pastoral lands continue to advance,” Mr 6. L. Marshall, Vv ellington president of 'the Farmers’ Union, observed yesterday. “This should ensure greater production in order to make the land pay interest on the purchase price In fact, it seems as if those people who have not the ability to farm their lapd to advantage are glad to sell out to their most progressive neighbour. In this way much land is being acquired by those who are best able to make it profitable, as it is only good farmers who are able to buy land at the present prices and make it pay. At the, same- time, it should he the object of all who wish for the true welfare of the country to sec as many settlors comfortably settled on the land as is possible.”
