That there is an intense desire on the part of many people to get back to the land was shown at Te Kuiti recently (writes the Chronicle). A farmer who had over 1000 acres of native leased land which was subdivided into several farms of over 100 acres, with houses, yards, and all conveniences erected on them ready for immediate occupation, advertised the places for lease on a five-years’ term. There were about 180 applicants for the places, and keen rivalry as to who should get them, fully one half of the number being genuinely anxious to get suitable places on which to take their families. Most of the applicants had sufficient capital to buy stock and make a good start, and those who have been fortunate in getting the farms think that with good prices rnlinv tbev have prosperous times ahead of them.
