‘ BROKEN HILL DROUGHT. A SERWVS PASS. INDUSTRIES CLOSING DOWN. 'SYDNEY, February 27. At Broken Hill, owing to the drought’’, half-time ip now being worked at the mines, which, .are. able to carry’ on to this ‘extent only by reason , o f the water the Government ip mak‘ing available. AU trams cease running after Sunday night, and the employees will be given other employment or an opportunity of staking annual leave. The local brewery has also been compelled to close:down, and its employees ar© idle. New Zealand, long famous for its dairy produce, meat, hides, footwear, tweeds, blankets and rugs, bids lair to become no less celebrated for its tobacco. After many yeais of expert menting experts have at length succeeded in producing tobaccos (grown and cured within the Dominion) which in certain respects are actually 'superior to the best imported. The , latter frequently contains 'an excess of nicotine, while the former contains comparatively little,. with the result i that you can smoke .these pure tcbac- - cos with impunity, and their cultivai tion is' likely to prove of inestimable value to men on the land because the average yield of a tobacco crop is worth, £5O per acre nett Strange to say, .the barren gum country in the North, while quite unsuitable for ordinary crops, grows splendid tobacco, and ultimately the industry must prove of national importance. N.Z. ' tobacco is already on the market, and selling well, so smokers can "try it out” for themselves.
