Some young men in a party of New Zealand farmers who returned to Auckland by the Wanganella after a tour of South Australia intend to leave the Dominion ajid take up land in the Commonwealth as soon as possible. One man has already placed his farm on the market. The joint leader of the party, Mr W. G. Thompson, of Middlemarch, Central Otago, said that farming prospects for young men were wonderfully bright in Australia. Land was cheap and could be bought in the native state from the various Governments at 5s an acre. It could be cleared and the first crop sown in the third year for £1 10s an acre.
