‘‘Wherever you go in Now Zealand,” writes 'Colonel Cha-seniore, in a popular London weekly, ‘‘you will find the tobacco of the country on sale. Even the ‘way back’ country storekeepers keep it in stock. Its. popularity is easily accounted for. Although quite moderate in price it’s really as good as it’s ‘cracked up to be.’ The tobacco plant flourishes in various parts of the Dominion, and many a man 1 on the land finds it a profitable side-line to cultivate because the dried leaf commands a high price per ton and is in steady demand. New Zealand tobacco hati iwon the good opinion of visiting experts, and containing but little nicotine it is safer to smoke- than perhaps any 'other vtobacco. You can indulge ad. lib. without fear of consequences. This they tell me, is owing to the toasting of the leaf, which process appears ■to work wonders.” Colonel Chiasemoro refers to the four brands mi familiar to Maorilanders: Navy Out. No. 3, Riverhead Gold, Cavendish, and Gut Plug No. -10,— Aclvt.
