“Already interest is being displayed in the possibilities of pig farming, and inquiries are coming in for small farms suitable for this purpose,” said Mr G. J. Leech (president) at the annual meeting of the Canterbury-Westland branch of the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand. Mr Leech mentioned the sale of one farm near the city, comprising 56 acres. The purchaser is now converting the property into a pig farm on most modern lines with everything well , laid out and designed to carry from 60 to 70 sows with an annual output of 1500 baconers. “I prophesy that before long the possibilities of successful pig farming in Canterbury will be fully realised and a keen demand set in for farm properties suitable for this purpose,” said Mr Leech.
