DOES ORCHARDING PAY; THE XiECESSTTY FOR DETAILED FACTS. It is all very well to say that an apple orchard is an insurance against bad times, etc, but every sober-thinking mn:i wants to know the details. To carry the simile further, he wants to know what the premiums are, what is the security of the investment :f had times do befall him, and what amount tile policy will produce. In plain language—what it costs to bring an orchard into bearing; is it a sure thins that he will get good returns, and what will those returns be? These questions arc. reasonable, and are well answered in a book entitled "Tht Fruit Lands of the Keith," which discusses the question billy as particularly applied to the Kaip".ra orchards. The booklet is obtainable free from the Secretary, Kaipara Fruit lands Development. Ltd., Box 003, Wellington. For the convenience of local residents, a supply of the books has been obtained by IC. L. Humphries, who will b- p'.uised to hand a copy to anyone interested. Our space here only allows us to state that orchard land, unimproved, varies in cost. It is considerably cheaper in the North than elsewhere, and the cost of planting and bringing an orchard into bearing is approximately a total of £3O per acre, spread over five years. The returns are assured by a solid and everincreasing demand which has steadily raised the price of apples year !'y year. The Government's estimate, of the net returns is approximately £4O per acre per annum. All these facts are shown in detail in the book. You should get a copy. UNFAIR MISREPRESENTATION. For a time many people asking fas Fluenzol were often persuaded to trs "something just as Rood." Now that Fluenzol is commended bi- Health' authorities and is so widely known as a sterling Temedy, these unfair tactics have to a great extent ceased. Unbiassed Chemists and Storekeepers filly appreciate Fluenzol. 1/6 & 2/6, 16
