Prospective immigrants suggested

An immigrant from the North of Ireland, Mr Arthur Hyland, thinks that many of his countrymen would be glad to come to New Zealand if they knew of the opportunities (states the Lyttelton Times). Mr Hyland himself has just arrived by the Pakeha. He told a Post reporter that in the country districts such as in County Down there were many farmers on small holdings of 15 or 20 acres, who would do well in the dominion. They do not, however, read the big newspapers and to reach them it would be necessary to send a caravan through the country.
