TOBACCO GROWING.
TAURARGA EXPERIMENTS. [BY TELEGRAPH. OWN CORRESPONDENT.] TAtJRANGA, Friday. For some years a few local residents have interested themselves in the growing of tobacco and the curing of the leaf. It may now be claimed that the experimental stage of growing has been successfully passed. To judge by samples of the manufactured article shown at this week's meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, it will compare favourably with other New Zealand-grown or imported tobaccos. % , The experiments have been made with various kinds of leaf. A letter has been received from the Department of Agriculture by the Tauranga Chamber of Commerce, in answer to an inquiry, which shows that the department is fully alive to the possibilities of this industry. The chamber intends to submit samples of leaf grown in this district for inspection by the department.
