Eketahuna County.—Mangaone Survey District.

Hardie Settlement.

Section 72, Block V : Area, 102 acres 3 roods 35 perches. Capital value, £1,200. Half-yearly rent, £30.

Weighted with (1) £6 10s. for electrical installation. This sum is payable in cash. (2) £400 for improvements, consisting of a good four-roomed dwelling, with kitchen and bathroom. A six-bail cow-shed with concrete yard, car-shed, and pig-sty. Electric power is connected to the dwelling and cow-shed. This sum is payable by half-yearly instalments of £13. Improvements which are included in the capital value consist of 217 chains of boundary and internal fencing, felling, grassing, and stumping.

This section is situated on the Quarry and Cliff roads and is two miles from Eketahuna Post-office, Railway-station, School, Saleyards, and Dairy Factory by metalled road.

The area consists of undulating country, the majority being ploughable when cleaned up. The whole area has been felled and grassed and is in fair to medium pasture. Approximately 4 acres of swamp ; 30 acres have been stumped. The section is suitable for dairying, but owing to neglect ragwort and californian thistle will require immediate attention, while blackberry is also appearing in places. The property is subdivided into six paddocks but fencing requires repairing. The soil is of a very fair quality resting on papa and shingle formation. It is watered by small streams and surface-water, but a further supply is necessary for dairying, and a dam will be required. Property can be made quite a good dairy-farm capable of carrying thirty dairy cows and young stock, and twenty dry sheep.

Special Conditions : 1. Special consideration will be given to the remission of one year's rent provided the successful applicant spends a like sum during that period upon permanent improvements. 2. The successful applicant will have the option of taking over the stock and implements on this property at valuation, failing that the Department reserves the right to remove and dispose of same within a reasonable time.

Full particulars may be obtained from the Commissioner of Crown Lands, Wellington.
