FOR SALE — Tr\ mmT "O "Vf 17 7C t Under Deferred Payments ?0,010 sctc3 For Direct Purchase ... 35,000 acre 3 Land coveied with P<nsh, ~h'ch, -when cleared, month, In«roargill being 3 miles due soutn of the latitude of the Ciutha, t! ,( * average height ahove the tea level being 200 feet. The average quality of the soil is equal to any in the Australasian Colonies, and from climatic influences is capable of growing not merely excellent wheat, but first-class oats Mil barley, and is peculiarly adapted for raising turnips and artificial grasses, thereby enabling the farmer to keep his land m oerfect heart by a rotation of cropping: manure his ]and by feeding off hi* green crops srith shtep and cattle, and ke p him independent of & bad market for any particular eereal. AH over the district there is firstclass limestone cropping oiifc to fertilise the land when it may require it. Forests of large extent are scattered over it, providing timbers for building and fencing, and coal (lignite and the best brown coals) for fuel everywhere obtainable. The district is furby railways, which open up the great valleys oi Aparima, Oreti, and Mataura Rivera ; while a loop line from the Invercargiil 10 Kingston Railway at Lumsdem runs through the Waimpa Plains and joins the Invercargill to Danedin main line at Gore, and a line through the Forest Hill District will be constructed shortly. Thus carriage of produce to the seaboard or market is easy and cheap from any part of it ; and timber, lime, and coal, can be distributed all over the country at a minimum cost.

It inay be remarked that Invercargilibeiii.i!situatedclose toFovcaus Straits is exposed to more rainfall anil sudden charges than the interior of the district, only seven miles due north, where the climate is both drier :»nd warmer, lut along the whole seaboard the land is extremely fertile, and much prized for grass nnd root crops. The experience n: the" last- fev/ years leads to the conviction that for all-round agricnlture the sn ppty of rain by no means exc<hxis the requirements of the land. This ye&r the thermometer at Invercargill has averaged hi-her than any part of teo Middle Island, and inoafc parts of the North Island, while there has; been very considerably less rainfall than in any part of the polony.
