Government Buying Back Estates.

'eAAAoAt buying sack Estates.
The government of New Zealand is
still pursuing its policy of buying back
large estates from the proprietors and
cutting them up into holdings for men
OF small means. 1t is successfully pro-
viding allotments near the large towns
for workmen's homes, in the hope that
this may relieve poor men from the
excessive, almost prohibitory, rents of
cities. A man who has an acre of fer
tile land near a town at an almost
nominal price can partly keep his fam.
lily by growing vegetables and working
at his garden in his spare time. He
Is in vastly superior position to the
laborer who has to. pay about one-third
OF his income in rent for bare house
room, and turn out into the street
the instant the weekly rent is not
forthcoming. The effort is not limited
to this acre allotment system; the
country estates bought back by the
government are cut into small farms!
on which thrifty agriculturists NAV
make livings for their families. Re-
Gently the government bought for this
purpose the Glenham estate of II 500
acres. near Wyndham; the Kakaku
estate of $3.50 acres, near Pleasant
Point, South Canterbury, and several
other properties in the vicinity of
Christchurch.
