287 MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
DISTRIBUTION OF LANDS FOR CULTIVATION The Colony of New South Wales requires a more copious and better distribution of lands for Cultivation. " The Small farm system requires to be carried out to a much larger extent. the productive power of the territory, for grains, fruits, and Cotton, requires to be tested. The Colony should be independent of foreign supplies of the necessaries of life. Nor for exports should it rely on any single commodity, as wool or gold. It may become more famous by its growth of Cotton, than it has become by either of these staples. "The Government requires to be impelled than to the settling [?] of farms of all sorts; and the population specially required for the colony is that which will so find its employment" ELEVATION OF OBSERVATIONS IN NEW SOUTH WALES & VICTORIA METEOROLOGY.
