Partial Failure of the Tobacco
(Per Press Association.) Melbourne, This Day. Mr Knight, Government expert, reports the tobacco crop is suffering greatly from blue mould, a fungoid growth. In many cases as much as 50 per cent had to be destroyed. He recommends procuring fresh seed from other countries, and also recommends more efficient methods of curing the leaf, and he says if these are adopted a big market will be opened with other countries, which are not now available owing to the primitive methods of curing.
