Tn days gone by it seemed more than t doubtful whether New Zealand would ' ever produce tobacco really worth ; smoking. But now, owing to improved i methods of culture and manufacture, 1 the Dominion is groAving tobacco of really fine quality, and farmers in dis- i tricts where it flourishes arc finding it | more and more Avorth their while to cultivate it as a, side-line. That there is money in it for the grower is ‘demon- . strated by the fact that the average | yield of tobacco crop per acre is j worth £5O, sometimes more.- As for [ the manufacturers, they arc to be heartily congratulated on successfully establishing au industry which not only already finds employment for many workers, but promises to become of immense assistance to agriculturists a, source of our national Avealth. The leading brands of these tobaccos are: Riverhead Gold, a pure aromatic |of very agreeable flavour, Navy Cut I (Bulldog) a medium-flavoured tobacco very popular with smokers, and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullsb.ead), a fine full ' flavoured variety that has innumerable fri ends.
