Nature generally makes compensations. Here’s a ease in point. The gum country in the North of Auckland is so poor in quality- 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, in proof of which you have only to sample the really fine tobaccos now being manufactured from North Auckland grown leaf. These include “Riverhend Gold” a mild aromatic with a distinctive flavour, “Navy Cut” fBulldog). medium strength. and “Cut Plug No. 10” (Ridlshead), full flavour. All these tobaccos are toasted, a process that has a good deal to do with their excellence, by- the way. Another of their good points is that they may he smoked with impunity. That is because they contain hut comparatively little nicotine. The .success attending the culture of these tobaccos in what was formerly regarded as barren country is convincing growers that “there’s money in it.” The yield of leaf per acre represents £SO and often more.—Advt.
