TOBACCO INDUSTRY.
IMPORTANCE IN NEW ZEALAND. Tofcacco as a primary industry appears likely to assume importance in New Zealand. # Already (says th e Evening Post) (here are some 800 acres in tobacco in the Nelson district, and the quality of the leaf grown is considered to be most encouraging. Instruction is' being imparted by two experts of W. D. and PL O. Wills on the culture and curing of the leaf, and arrangements are being made by that firm for the use of this tobacco in new lines at a factory in course of construction in the Hutt Valley. Providing the light varieties are grown and the requisite quality of leaf that the market demands is supplied in commercial quantities, it would appear that the tobacco growing industry has a promising future, but it would probably be wise to regard it as still in the initial stages in New Zealand.
