The Delta Station

The Delta Station (William Pollard, proprietor), is situated in the Waihopai district. It has an acreage of about 7000 acres of undulating and arable land, and carries 6500 sheep. Root crops are grown annually to fatten sheep, and carry them through the winter months, and though this is costly, it is found a highly remunerative process. At the homestead, old and obsolete outbuildings are being replaced with others of more modern type. A fine woolshed, which is quite ample for present requirements, stands on the flat near to the homestead, and the family residence has been renovated by Mr. Pollard, and is now a fine commodious villa, with a frontage to the main road.
