In apite of the many attempts by the struggling farmer, the gum lands of the North Auckland district have proved unsuitable for general agricultural purposes. Cropping is not a paving proposition in&those parts. There is one exception, however —tobacco thrives weJ! in these latitudes and splendid types of leaf have been pro duced on soils that not long ago were covered with ti-tree and fern. A small port'on 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 realise the immense possibilities of the tobacco industry, but anyone wanting information on the subject is referred to the ready manufactured article, “Eiverhead 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 sc ore of excess nicotine. —Advt.
