In spite of the many attempts by the struggling farmer, the gum lands of the North Auckland district have proved unsuitable for general agricultural purposes. Cropping is not a paying proposition in those parts. There is one exception, however. Tobacco thrives well in these latitudes, and splendid typejs of leaf have been pro; duced on soils that not long ago were -covered with ti-tree and fem. A small portion of these waste lands if plants od in tobacco would be sufficient to transform this poverty-stricken district into regions of affluence and wealth; £5O net is the average yield of a tobacco crop per acre, and often more. Few people realise the im-: mense possibilities of the tobacco industry, but anyone wanting information on the subject is referred to the ready manufactured article, Riverhead Gold, mildest of all; Toasted Navy Cut (Bulldog), of medium strength', and Cut Plug No. 10 1 (Bullhead), full strength. Do not forget that all three brands are “toasted,” and, therefore, are more wholesome than the average class of goods from overseas, often so harmful on the jscore of excess, nicotine.*
