Farming Easiest Terms. LAND FOR THE LANDLESS. An opportunity to secure from 20 to (10 acres of lirsi-elass cropping, dairying, seed growing, lucerne growing, or fruit land on the vciy easiest terms offered in any part of the world. This Land Will Grow WHEAT, BARLEY, PEAS, OATS, LUCERNE BEANS, ONIONS, POTATOES AND FRUIT To Perfection The subdivision of W. Dick, Esq.'s property, situate at Lower Wairau, Marlborough, 4 miles from Blenheim, under THE LAND SETTLEMENT FINANCE ACT 1908' The terms are such that any bachelor j with £4OO or any married man. with j £SOO in cash is eligible and able to pur-1 chase a black of from 20 to 60 acres of ] this, the finest agricultural land to ug obtained in the Dominion. SITUATION. The property is. situated en a good j metalled flat road, four miles from Blenheim. It would l"> a simple matter for a I tradesman, shop assistant, or worker ofj any kind, to hold one or more of the j blocks offered, aiid still attend to his j ordinary avocation. There is a school j within half a mile of the property. j As to what the land is we can safely assert that it is absolutely cheap at the price offered. It is magnificent agricultural land and will grow any cereal crop. It is splendid lucerne land, as is evidenced by a paddock now down, and it is a first-class dairying land. It will grow fruit to perfection. The late Dr. ] Home's homestead adjoining it was! noted for its wonderful orchard, and the j fruit now growing on the property further exemplifies this fact. The land is eminently suitable for market • gar- ] dening, all root crops thrive splendidly, and for vegetables the soil is superb. The present owner has regularly grown crops of 70 bushlcs of barley, 4% tons of chaff, and 52 lmshcls of peas to the acre, and the previous owner has had splendid wheat crops. We assert without fear of contradiction the land is eminently suitable for :iny crop, and will grow any crop practically to perfection. AVc assert that for dairying it will in grass carry a cow to 1 % acres, and if lucerne is grown, it will carry far more. We assert that for onions, potatoes, beans, any seed crop, and for vegetables of any description, the property is beyond reproach, whilst for fruit of any description it is practically unbeatable.
