PEASANT FARM S WANTED.
An emigrant asks ; —How can I become a settlor? I have an emigration land order for £1 GO, but the sections are 50 acres at £4 per acre or more. Surely if Government wished for settlers and not speculators they would have bad some sections of 20, 25, 30, and 40 acres. A fifty-acre section means, for purchase, £2OO ; fencing, say £100; house, &c, £100; stock, £lso— the land brings in an income. Now, any man with £7OO to £BOO had better invest his money and peg on, living on the in. teres I nnd any easy work now and tlien to be had. The fifty-acre sections mean speculators’ buying, and cutting up for the poorer men at a small profit of say £2, £B, or £4 per acre. It is not yet too late to alter this.
