A Southern Complaint The Gore experimental agricultural farm, in Southland, which has been working since 1915, is to be shut down. With its disiontinuance the South Island will not have any such farm. It is the only one south of Cook Strait. The fact alone is regrettable (states the DUnedin Star) and doubly so when it is- remembered that its activities were largely in the direction of solving root crop problems particularly those pertaining to club root, and has done a lot of successful work in that way undeir the direction of Mr J. Sleeman. It seems strange that the Government should retain the numerous experimental farms in the North Island, where: the cropping Is mostly.of grass, and cut out the one farm tha-t specialises in root crop purity. If there is a justifiable reason it would be politic to publish it, and thus satisfy the murniurings that are heard right and left.

Hyram K. Bangs, of Bang'o Five Cent Novelty Store on Congress Avenue, Chicago, has boon telling a reporter since his return to the Land of the Free (?) that before he visited New Zealand in the fall of last year to *-iko the baths at "Rotorua," ho know so little about Maoriland that ho asked a travelled friend whether any worth-while tobacco was obtainable here. The friend snickered: "I'll say thoro is," he replied, "and I want to tell you right here that it's some weed. They toast it, so that it tastes as good as it smells, and it's so free from nicotine —being toasted—that it caint hurt you worth a dime if you smoke it all day and all night too." Mr. Bangs found it was a true bill, and says he estimates that New Zealand "produces" the only "juiceless" tobacco on this planet. "Yes Sir." He j might have added that there are only | four brands of the genuine toasted—- ' Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut. No. 3 I (Bulldog). Cavendish and Cut Plug 1 No. 10 (Bullshead).
