ever produce tobacco really worth smoking. But. now, owing to improved methods of culture ami manufacture, the Dominion is growing tobacco of really fine quality, and farmers in districts where it flourishes are finding it more and more worth their while to cultivate it as a side-line. That there is money in it for the grower is <l<* monst rated by the fact that the average yield of a tobacco crop per acre •is worth £5O, sometimes more. As f" r

the manufacturers, they are tn be heartily congratulated on suceessfully establishing an industry which not only iiml-i employment for many workers, but promises to become of immense assistance to agriculturists and a source of our national wealth. The leading brands of these tobaccos are: Riverhead Gobi, a pure aromatic oi very agreeable flavour, Navy Gut (Bulldog) a medium-flavoured tobacco very popular with smokers, and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), a fine full flavoured variety that has innumerable friends. —39.
