Does tobacco-growing in New Zealand pay? The answer to that question is: Look at the rapidly-increasing number of men on the land who are now turning their attention to tobacco culture in this country. The early attempts to put New Zealand-grown tobacco on the market (about 30 years ago) were, it must be confessed, disappointing. 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 £50 per acre (sometimes more) there can be no question about tobacco culture paying the farmer. As to the "weed" in its manufactured form it ia excellent. Unlike m.st of the imported brands it contains very little nicotine and may be indulged in ad lib. without harmful results, while the toasting of the leaf (quite a new idea) develops flavour and aroma surprisingly. Undoubtedly this indusry, already flourishing, is destined to become of nation?] importance. Leading lines are: Riverhcnd Gold, mild; Navy Out (BnlldosyV medium; r.nd Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullhead), full. 1 "I have noted with n good deal of interest the development in advertising, especiallv in recent, years."—Rt.
