SOUTHLAND LAND. H ALL AND EASON HAVE 6300 ACRES 6300 Wtiich we can dispose of in FARMS OF FROM 153 ACRES AND UPWARDS. PRICE, £3 to £5 AN ACRE. We are not laying down any hard and fast terms, bnt are opr-n to make SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS TO SUIT PURCHASERS. The WHOLE of the PURCHASE MONEY may remain UNPAID (if reqnireii) FOR A TERM OF YEARS. INTEREST will hu Charged at an EXCEEDINGLY LOW RATE, and, if required, an arrangement can be made for NO INTEREST TO HE PAID THE FIRST YEAR. OF THE LAND ITSELF We may say it consist.' of LOW ROLLING DOWNS, all Ploughable, with Permanent Streams in the Talleys, and is situated four and a half to nine miles from tluee or four Railway Station* on the Main Line from Dunedin to Invercargill, so that Produce or Sheep for Freezing cm be sent to either Market. COAL is found almost everywhere, and as a good BDSH (Reserved by Government), is within a mile of most of the Land (a License to Cut can be obtained for LI a year), FENCING MATE RIAL IS VERY CHEAP, as also is BUILDING TIMBER. We again wish to impress on Farmers and others, especially Small Farmers and Contractors with Farming Plant, the following facts: — That on the small holdings they have here all they can make is a bare living, and that year by year they grow older, but no better off, and that year by year the value of agricultural land is becoming steadier, and more difficult for people of small means to acquire. Especially has it done so in this district. And whether they would not be wise fo purebase larger farms in Southland, off which they not only can make a better living but which must increase in value as settlement progresses. Another important point to consider is that with the price of grain as low as it is now, far more is to be made by Stock producing, than by grain ; and that there is no better grass and turnip land than in Southland, There are a number of Settlers in the neighbourhood who purchased from us, and who are now doing well.
