THEY MUST GO FURTHER AFIELD.
What was wanted was that the people should go further afield. He was quite certain from what he saw that thero was splendid land in the North for grazing purposes. He was told by one farmer that it would carry four sheep to the acre, and that was not bad. He was quite certain that if the people were encouraged to go on to the land and I' not crowd into towns, the country would be still more prosperous. Another trouble wn&that the farmers themselves discouraged settlement upon the land. He was looked upon as an interloper. They wanted tho land to use themselves, and thereiore did not wish it settled. But there was enough land for 'ill. Ho had talked to some of the farmersand they had told him that they would not go where he was ecoiug if he would give thorn £1,000 a yeai and a house to live in. That did not look so bad. It was his intention to go Home and lay before the people what wealth and prosperity there was for them in New Zealand. ■
