14. The lease of Reserve 3488 will contain provisions that the lessee may break up the portion of the reserve in grass at the commencement of the lease, and may take therefrom one crop and no more either of oats or turnips, with either of which the land must be sown down with grass and clover in a thoroughly satisfactory manner, and then left in pasture for at least three years from the harvesting or feeding off of such crop; at the end of such three years another crop of oats, sown with grass and clover as before, may be taken. The portion of the reserve, about 60 acres, which was in turnips before the commencement of the lease may be treated in the same manner. The portion which was in oats during the season before the commencement of the lease, about 30 acres, shall immediately be sown with grass and clover, with a green crop. All portions laid down in grass must be thoroughly well sown down with an ample quantity of seed of approved quality, and left in pasture for at least three years after the harvesting of the last crop, and the whole of the reserve must be left in good pasture at the end of the term.

The fencing upon the reserve will be valued at the commencement of the term, and at the end of the lease, with a view to the next lease being loaded with any increase of value.

Full particulars may be ascertained and plans obtained at this office.
