The old pioneers wno came out to New Zealand in the long, long ago little dreamt, as they shredded .the imported black plug the storekeepers used to sell, that the land of their adoption would one day produce fine tobacco of its own, and in some respects actually superior to the best imported. But sb it is. The industry is only in itjs infancy as yet. But it promises to develop into a source of our National wealth—a point of tremendous importance ,to the struggling settlers on the poverty-stricken gum lands of the North which, poor as they are, will yet grow splendid tobacco. If but a fraction of this barren land, so rich in tobacco-growing possibilities, were devoted to the culture of the “weed” it would mean the ultimate enrichment of the Dominion. The local article is much appreciated by those who had to give up smoking foreign tobaccos because of the excess of nicotine, which affected their health. Try Riverhand Gold, mild; Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium ; or Cut Plug No 10 (Bullshead), full * Every shed a show plant where Wallace Milking Machines are installled. Our titters are experts-*
