It lias been said that the man who causes two hades of grass to grow where only one grew before, is a public benefactor. If that be true—and true it assuredly is—what is to he said of those who established a successful local industry, which finds employment for many hands, develops the latent resources of this Dominion, and keeps the money in the country Look at what tlie poor gum lands of the north and the -barren days of Nelson, at one time considered worthless for agricultural purposes, are now producing. They furnish the manufacturers with the raw- material for our local brands. And s:> excellent is this product that no smoker should fail to give it a trial. Ho is in for quite a. new type, a toasted tobacco, more fragrant, less nicotine, and therefore healthier. A wonderful improvement compared with the noil-toasted tobacco. There are three grades: Rivcrhoad Gold, very mild; Toasted Navy Cut (bulldog), of medium strength: and those who prefer a full body will appreciate Cut Plug, No 10, Bull-bead brand.— Advt.

ROCKLAND Genera! A HIGHLY s^aaEsJ PROFITABLE FERTILIZER Used by Thousands of Practical Farmers Every Year, on Every Variety of Crop and Soil, with Splendid Success / The three great advantages of Superphosphate are:—First: ITS RAPID SOLUBILITY and the quickness with which its nourishing properties aro made available to the crop. Vorhees, the celebrated modern authority on Fertilizers, says: “Slowly available materials cannot be expected to give profitable returns ’’ —a fact which New Zealand farmers are discovering, and as a consequence they are now using Superphosphate in immense quantities, with complete satisfaction. Second: ITS REMARKABLE VALUE AS A SOIL BUILDER, .. ft considerable portion of the Phosphoric Acid is retained in and goes to enrich the soil for future crops. No matter how rich the soil was originally, it grows poorer and poorer every year as crop follows crop, so that fresh applications of nourishing Phosphoric Acid are essential in order to maintain and increase productivity. Rockland Superphosphate enriches^both the soil and the man who tills it ! Third: ITS ROW COST AND RELIABILITY. SUPERPHOSPHATE. Price per ton: 30/38 per cent.
