The early attempts to put New Zealandgrown tobacco on the market (about 30 years ago) were, it- must be confessed, disapoinpting. The samples produced were very crude. But modern methods of culture and treatment of the leaf have completely altered all that, and as an average crop of New Zealand tobacco- is now worth £SO per acre (sometimes more) there ran be no question about tobacco culture paying the farmer. As to the “weed” in its manufactured foiiu it is excellent. Unlike most of the imnorted brands it contains very little nicotine, and may be indulged in ad lib without harmful results, while t-ho toasting of the leaf (quite a. new idea) develops flavour and aroma surprisingly. Undoubtedly this industry, already flourishing, is destined to become of national importance.
