In spite of the mnnv attempts by the struggling fanner, the gum lands of the North Auckland district have proved unsuitable for gener.il agricultural purposes. Cropping is not a payable proposition in those parts. There is one exception, however —tobacco thrives well in these latitudes and splendid types of leaf have been produced on soils that not long, ago were covered with ti-tree and fern. A small portion of these waste lands if planted in tobacco would be sufficient to transform this poverty-stricken district into regions of affluence and wealth; £SO net is the average yield of a tobacco crop per acre, and often more. Few people relaise the immense possibilities of the tobacco industry, but anyone wanting information on the subject is referred to the ready manufactured article: “Rivevhead Gold,” mildest of all; ‘‘Toasted Navy Cut” (Bulldog), of medium strength; and “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullhead)), full strength. Do not,forget that all three brands are “toasted,” and therefore more wholesome than the average class of goods from overseas, often so harmful on the score of excess nicotine.* As a protection against coughs and colds “Na/.ol” has no equal. One dose a dav keeps colds aAvav. Can be taken anywhere; 60 doses 1/6. —Advt. That tickling, -irritating cough can be promptly relieved by a few drops of “Nazol” taken on lump s’»gar; 60 doses 1/6. — Advt.
