What with one drawback and another, the lot qf many a man on the land in N.Z. for some time past has hardly been happier than that of the Gilbertian policeman, and it is deplorable that in some instances the farmer has been forced to give his farm best and retrie from a struggle beyond his endurance, Especially .trying has been the position of the agriculturist on the gum lands of the North. This soil won’t grow anything the farmer is accustomed to grow. But it will produce remarkably fine tobacco leaf, and 1 as the average yield of a tobacco crop on the Northern gum lands represents a cash value bf £5O nett, there can be no profit., Large quantities of tobacco are .already being grown, and .the culture of the “weed” in certain parts of N.Z. promises to. develop into a national industry. Several varieties Qf this tobacco are on the market, including Riverhead Gold, .aromatic ; Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium ; and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), full. They are all in brisk demand.*
