THE LAND SORAMBLE.
From the rush of applicants for the dairy lauds offered by the Government at Pahiatoia yesterday, it is quite apparent that a very keen demand exists, for the better class of land that is offering. The Government would do to take heed of the fact, and endeavour to procure similar areas where they are available. The people are not looking for mountain tops, air ra'bbit warrens, or scrub country. They that can be put to immediate and profitable use. ' It would pay the Government much better to invest £20,000 in a thousand acres of dairy land, which would carry twenty families, than to throw away £SOOO upon five thousand acres of inferior land upon which three or four families would starve." The question raised by Mr It. B. Ross at the ballot in Pahiatua yesterday concerning the claims tof married men and those who have been unsuccessful at previous ballots is an important one, and should be settled by a declaratory judgment of the Supreme Court.
