Nature generally makes' ebmpensatioas. Here’s a .ease in point. The. gum. country in 'the North of Auckland is so poor in quality that the soil refuses to lend itself to agricultural operations. Yet this land so unsuitable for the growing of ordinary crops, is splendidly adapted for tobacco culture, in proof of which you have only to sample the really lino tobaccos now being manufactured from. North Auckland grown leaf. These include “Biv£rhead Gold,” a mild aromatic with a distinctive flavour, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog), medium strength, and “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead), full flavour. All these tobaccos are toasted, a process that has a good deal to do with their excellence, by . the way. Another of their good points is that they may be smoked with impunity. That is because they contain but comparatively little nicotine. The success attending the culture of these tobaccos in what was formerly regarded as barren country is convincing growers that “there’s money in it.” The vield of leaf per acre ‘ represents £SO and often more.
