in English grasses, but thistle is prevalent. There is no natural water-supply. The fences on the land are in fair condition only. This land is most suitable for grazing. It would be difficult to maintain the pasture sufficiently long on account of the droughts that the district at times experiences to carry out successful dairy farming.

Section 25, Block II, Takapau Survey District.-Situated about one and three-quarter miles from Takapau Railway-station on the Ormondville-Takapau main road. The north-western portion of this block may be classed as flat open country, and is somewhat light and stony, and has been all ploughed at some time or other. The upper portion has been ploughed and sown in grass; the balance until recently was down in rape, which has been harvested or fed off and not resown in grass. The southern portion was originally in bush, and is land of good quality; stumping, draining, ploughing, and resowing is necessary, the original English grasses having disappeared. There is blackberry on this section, and the fencing is fairly old and was erected with a view to working in with portion of the adjoining property. This could be made good dairying country, and is watered by fairly permanent streams.
