CIGAR LEAF GROWING.
A return has been presented in the Federal Parliament showing the number of cigar-leaf growers in Australia, and the acreage each has under cultivation. Queensland has the largest number, there being 28 growers in that State. Their holdings vary in size from a quarter of an acre to to acres. In Victoria there are three cigar-leaf growers, with small acreages. In Tasmania three Chinese are registered as growers, but no leaf has been produced by them since 1904. In no i°stance has it been found in New South Wales that leaf is being grown specially for the manufacture of cigars.
