Farming Land. Easiest Terms Golden] Opportunity LAND FOR THE LANDLESS. Ah opportunity to secure from 20 to (10 acres of first-class cropping, dairying, seed growing, lu:ernc growing, or fruit land on the very easiest terms offered in any part of the world. This Land Will Grow WHEAT, BARLEY, PEAS, OATS, LUCERNE BEANS. ONIONS, POTATOES AND ERUIT 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 with £4OO or any married man with £SOO in cash is eligible and able to purchase a block of from 20 to CO acres of this, the finest agricultural land to bo obtained in the Dominion. The property is situated on a good metalled fiat road, four miles from Blenheim. It would he a simple matter for a tradesman, shop assistant, or worker of any kind, to hold one or more ,of the blocks offered, and still attend to his ordinary avocation. There is a school within half a mile of the property.

As to what the land is wc 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 fruit now growing on the property further exemplifies this fact. The land is eminently suitable for market gardening, all root crops thrive splendidly, and for vegetables the soil is superb. The present owner has regularly grown crops of 70 bushles of barley, 4 1 / 3 tons of chaff, and 52 bushels of peas to the acre, and the previous owner luib had splendid wheat crops. We assert without fear of contradiction that the land is eminently suitable for any crop, and will grow any crop practically to perfection. We assert that for dairying it will in grass carry a cow to IV2 acres, and if lucerne is grown, it will carry far more. We assert that for onjons, 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.

That Blenheim is progressing is undoubted, and linked up and assisted byits advancement, the value of small farms in the vicinity must increase. A butter factory is to he erected at Thurston this coming winter, and will he completed and ready for work by next spring. A bacon factory is to be erected near Riverlai>ds immediately. These two factories will serve to increase the annual profit from small holdings clow to Blenheim.

Mr. Dick lias given us instructions to sell, but tlie property must be disposed of quickly, otherwise lie must proceed with the "sowing of his crops for next year. We therefore recommend those who consider the question of taking up one or more of the sections to inspect at the earliest possible moment, and come to a conclusion as to whether they will purchase or not without a moment's dotar A DAY LOST MAY MEAN THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS GOT THE SEC TION YOU WANT.
