If the average man were cast away on a desert island and compelled to lead a Robinson Crusoe existence, his first thought (after the food and water problem 'was solved) would bo: “How can I get something to smoke?” The craving for tobacco is insistent in the case of 10 men out of every 12 and to satisfy the universal .demand hundreds of brands of the “weed” are on the market. They come from many lands, one of the latest countries to produce them (in a perfected form) 1 being New Zealand. Strange to say the barren gum lands of the North which won’t grow ordinary crops grow splendid tobacco, a matter of the greatest importance to men on the land up there, because the average yield of leaf is worth £SO per acre, and the industry promises to become a source of National wealth. The local article is much appreciated by those who had to give up' smoking foreign tobaccos because of the excess of nicotine, which affected their health. Try “Riverhead Gold” (mild), “Navjy Cut” ' (Bulldog) "medium, or “Cut Plug No. TO” (pullshend) full Advt.
