(To the Editor Wairarapa Age.)
Sir,—ln your issue of the 4th insi>you state that a dairy farmer at:' NirOalia, who owns a one-hundred, acre section and milks 32 cows, realised for butter fat alone £574 los 3dNow, Mr Editor, do you not think something should be done in our district in the way of closer settlement? Through the influence of your paper,, can you not induce some of the large squatters in this district to subdivide portions of their properties and give the man with limited means an opportunity of getting on'the land? I understand the land offered to the Government by Mr A. J. Stone-Wigg is suitable for closer settlement, and has been offered at a very reasonable figure. The young' generation' in Masterton will have to combine and agitate if they want to secure a home in this district. Failing this, they will have to seek fresh fields and pastures new. —I am, etc.. PROGRESS. Masterton,. September -!th, 1912.
