L FOR SALE AND FOR SETTLEMENT. AftKA OF AGRICULTURAL LAND P" i;; S ALE IN SOUTHLAND. Under Deferred Payments 80,015 acres "For Direct Purchao ... 35,000 acres Land covei ed with ISush, which, when cleared, is of superior quality for Agriculture ... 300,000 acres The price of deferred payment land is 2oa and 30s an acre. The land is from 20 miles north to 16 miles wrath of the latitude of the mouth of the Taieri River, and is all from 2 to 38 miles to the northward of the Clutba River at its month, Invercargill being 3 miles due south of the latitude of the Ciutha, the average height above the sea level being 250 feet. The average qua'ity of the soil is equal to my fn the Australasian Colonics, and from climatic influences is capable of growing not merely excellent wheat, but first-class oats and barley, and is pocnliirly adapted for raising turnips and artificial grasses, thereby enabling the farmer to k»*p his land in perfect heart by a rotation of cropping; manure his land by f?e<litigotf hisgrej n crops with sheep anclcattl?. a r :>l ke p him'ndependent of a r>atl market for any particular cereal. Afl over the district there 13 " r^: " class limestone cropping out to fertilise the land when it may requiro it. _ Forests of large extent are sea" t*;red over it, providing timbers for building and fencing, and coal (lignite and the best brown coals) for fuel everywhere obtainable. The district is further intersected by railways, which open up the great valleys of Aparima, Oreti, and Mataura Rivers ; while a loop line from the Invercargill to Kingston Railway at Lumsdem runs through the Waimea PJainß and joins the Invercargill to Dunedin main I'M at Gore, and a line through the Forest Hiil District will be constructed shortly. Thus carriage of produce to the seaboard or niaricet is easy and cheap from any part o| it ; and timber, lime, and coal, can be distributed all over the country at a minimum, cost. The average yield of cereal 3 per acre, taken from the statistics of the Colony for the year i 1873 to IS7S, a? compared with Canterbury, are as follow : Ihe subjoined tables give the average temperature at Invercargill, Dunedin, and Christchurch, the commercial centres of the districts. It may be remarked that Invercar gill being situated close to Foveaux Straits is exposed to more rainfall and sadden charges the interior of the district, only seven miles due north, where the climate is both drier and warmer, tut along the whole seaboard the land is extremely fertile, and much prized for grass and root crops. The experience of the last few years leads to the conviction that for all-round agriculture the supply of rain by no means exceeds the requirements of the land. This year the thermometer at Invercargill ha 3 averaged higher than any part of the Middle Island, and most parts of the North Island, while there has been very considerably les3 rainfall thjin in any part of the Colony.
