PAHIATUA NEWS.

(From Our Resident Reporter). Thursday. The fact that Pahiatua is recognised as one of the most important stnck centres in the Dominion is attributed to the uniform high quality of the land that surrounds it, and its splendid adaptability for mixed farming. The natural diversification of both soil and climate affords a great material advantage to the farmer, as it enables him to have many strings to his bow, and not to be compelled to put all his eggs in one basket. And the farmer is the backbone oi the nation, and to him all must look for sustenance in whatever occupation they may be engaged. The whole of the district surrounding Pahlr.tua ami right through to the coast is particularly adapted to stock raising and dairying in consequence of the greater humidity which keeps the grass green all the year round, and enables sheep and cattle to keep in condition in winter as well as in summer. The sensible man regards the choice of a home as coming next in importance to the choice of a wife, and this remark is particularly true of the man who is a farmer. In most instances it means the choice of a place where he expects to spend the greater portion of his life, where his children will be born and brought up, and live and get their start in life. There are a few fortunate individuals in the Dominion who do not have to work. They have the time and the means to hunt up homes for themselves, and if they make a mistake they can afford to start afresh. The greater number cannot afford to make a mistake. The man who finds a <iood farm, and a good market has found the place to build a home in permanently. The Pahiatua district is a particularly favoured one in this respect. Tne climate is pteasant and. healthy, water is good and pentiful. school? are good, means of communication are sufficient and convenient, <- and there i 3 a splendid and ever-in-creasing market for all kinds of farm produce, Dairy and cheese factories are scattered throughout the district, and taken generally the farming community is thriving. The prospects for a substantial increase in land values are as good here as in any other part of the Dominion, and it is therefore not surprising to hear that enquiries for property in this locality are numerous. The rape crops throughout this district are in a forward condition, and free froai blight. Feed is plentiful everywhere, and the dairying season promises to be one of the most profitable in the history of the industry for so far as this district is concerned. On page 8 of this issue, Mr Peter Tulloch, land and stock agent, announces that he has commenced business on his; own behalf. Mr Tulloch is an experienced farmer who has lived for many years in the Pahiatua district, and has an intimate knowledge of land values. Those having capital for investment cannot do better than put it into land in this district, as prices are nominal and the prospects of success encouraging. Mr Tulloch has some really good investments to offer, and he will be pleased to supply full particulars to interesting buyers, and to show them over the properties free of cost.
