GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF TAPANUI SETTLEMENT.

Tapanui Settlement, which was formerly known as “Brooksdale,” the property of Mr. George Stuart, is situated in a very good agricultural district, where dairying, cropping, sheep-farming, and fattening are successfully carried on. Splendid access. Practically all level land or on a gentle slope, lying well to the sun. Mostly good sharp soil, and the whole area is capable of much improvement. Responds well to top-dressing and manuring, is clear of rabbits, has good running water in most of the paddocks, thus making for very good sheep and cattle country, while splendid root and cereal crops can be grown.
