New Zealand, long famous for its dairy produce,, meat, hides, footwear, tweeds, blankets and rugs, bids fair to become no less celebrated for its tobacco. After many years of experimenting 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 that you can smoke these pure tobaccos with impunity, and their cultivation 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. Ask for Riverhead Gold, mild ; Navy Cut (bulldog), medium ; or Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullr head), full strength.*
