And of these the settler can take his choice, selecting 
one or more or else contenting himself with a mixed 
farm. 
From a colonising point of view the ultimate aim of 
the Protectorate must be, not only to get the highest 
possible value in the annual production, but to carry 
the largest possible white population that can be sup¬ 
ported with a reasonable average prosperity. This 
goal is generally recognised as desirable ; but as to the 
steps that should lead towards it there is great diversity 
of opinion. Possibly the future will shape itself on the 
same lines as in the best portions of our Australian 
Colonies. Holdings on the line and round townships 
will tend to be small and agricultural. Land of similar 
quality but remote from railways or commercial centres 
will be subdivided into larger blocks for cattle or sheep. 
Provided that all goes well, the success of the sheep 
and cattle will justify the extension of branch lines ;
