Several questions of importance to the tobacco industry, including a plan for the industry, kiln capacity, the adoption of a uniform form of contract, the prices of leaf, and the method of storing tobacco, were discussed at a recent meeting at Motueka of the Tobacco Board and the executive of the New Zealand Tobacco Growers' Federation, said the Minister of Industries and Commerce (Mr D.

As a result of the meeting and the very full discussion which took place between the board and the executive of the federation a number of points of difficulty were cleared up and a better understanding secured by the members of both bodies regarding the problems affecting the tobacco-growing and manufacturing industry. . The Minister said that in addition to issuing an illustrated brochure on hints to growers on the care of tobacco after harvesting, which the board had decided upon at a previous meeting, the board would also, after next harvesting season, arrange for the preparation of two further brochures, one covering operations from the seed stage to planting out in the fields, and the other covering operations from planting out to curing.
