N.Z. TOBACCO
PLANS TO ENTER EMPIRE MARKET New Zealand hopes to enter the Empire market as an exporter of tobacco, but it will be some considerable time before she can be considered a serious competitor of Rhodesia, India and Canada (says the London Evening News). Nevertheless the cultivation of tobacco leaf, begun only a few years ago in the South Island, has gone ahead by leaps and bounds. The New Zealand Government, in an effort to make known the quality of its tobacco, has sent a display of 12 grades of raw leaf to the Empire Exhibition in Bellahouston Park, Glasgow. A scheme is being formulated to ensure growers of a satisfactory return for improved quantities and quality of leaf, and a State tobacco reconditioning factory has been built at Motueko, South Island.
