I John Macdonald, EsqV Temporary Offices : — Esk-stbeet, Iktebcabchxi.. r T^HE object contemplated by the prompters of 1 this undertaking is the development of the agricultural resources of the Province: Immense tracts of land are constantly being taken up; and if the occupiers of such lands turn their attention to ordinary farming pursuits, there will soon be a large yield of cereals. " But iip to this time, whatever thequantity of corn grown, there has been no means of bringing it into use for human food ; and we have a considerable population daily consuming flour, every ounce ; of which is imported from the neighboring colonies. If the Southland farmers can find a market for their wheat in Invercargill, they will ' soon produce sufficient breadstuSs for the wants of the Province,, and eventually make Southland one of the sources of supply to Northern Australia. The Company will consist of One Thousand Shares, of £10 each ; the liability of each share, holder i 3 limited to the amount of his shares. It i 3 intended to purchase a piece' of land— say an acre or more — in the vicinity of the Jetty, "or some equally suitable locality, and to, erect thereon a Mill for the manufacture of -flour and oatmeal, and a Malt-house—^the kilnof which would also serve for drying the oats to be ground, and any wheat which may require it. It is proposed to r construct ' the Mill of timber, strongly framed and braced together, '.the Enginehouse of brick. ' The ' Malt-house should also be of brick. Stores for wheat : and flour j either of brick or timber. ' ■ ' ', ' ,',"'.'.' - The amount of business which .may reasonably be expected. at starting; is as follows.:— -Estimating the population of the Province at^eight thousand.: there wil be an annual consumption of about, fourteen hundred tons of flour, the produce of sixty -four thousand bushels of wheat, all 'of which might be Provincial grown, if the farmers would produce it at a price to exclude importation. The proposed, Mill, driving thr c pairs of stones three hundred days of twelve hours, and dressing three hours each day, would .turn out abovit that quantity., .. ■: '■ ■: ■■■' :■"; r. . The consumption of oatmeal is ; not very great, but a little might be done in ! it,"'andshe mill would drive a pair of stones for grinding : oats whilst dressing wheat meal. ' . : ' ''"''. The Malfc-hoiise might be cbhstructed capable of turning out three or four hundred bushels per week for thirty weeks, if a supply of barley could be ■ depended on ; any quantity not required for the home market would find a ready' sale in Melbourne or Sydney. Referring to the statement made above _as. to the quantity of flour, annually required to meet the wants of the Province; if ah. average .price, of twenty pounds per ton be assumedj .we. find that twenty-eight thousand pounds per annum 'has. to, be raised in the Province, and sent abrbad in exchange for one article of food alone. ■ It is unne-, cessary to point out how ■ much benefit would result from the retention of so large. a sum in the Province, besides the employment of . an : increased number of agricultural laborers, and the creation of a class of small farmers. t •..,.. - Having thus laid the prospects and advantages of the companybefore the public, the members of the. provisional committee; appeal to their fellowcolbnists to aid themin .realizing an undertaking fraught with such -important. .results, .and-; trust that the speedy completion of- the, :.share list mil prove that the people of. .Southland .are not indifferent to their true interests. . Applications for shares must be made in the form annexed, accompanied by a deposit of 55.- per share. FOBM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
