Home-Grown Tobacco
Despite the mounting taxation on tobacco and the increasing tension of the depression, relief workers at Port Chalmers are making a final effort to rtain the solace of a smoke. To the Unemployment Committee the supervisor of gardening plots has reported that some of the relief workers are using portion of their plots to grow tobacco. One member inquired whether tobacco could be successfully grown locally, and another member replied that tobacco could be grown anywhere in New Zealand. This is probably the first occasion on which the cultivation of tobacco has been attempted in Otago.
