Nature generally makes compensations. Here’s a ‘ease in point. The cram country in the North of Auckland is so poor in quailty that the soil refuses to lend itself to agricultural operations. Yet this land, so unsuitable for the growing of ordinary crops, is splendidly adapted for tobacco culture, m proof of which you have only to sample the really line tobaccos now being manufactured from North Auckland p-rown leaf.
