What with one arawbacK and another, the lot of 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 as the average yield of a tobacco crop on the Northern gum lands represents a cash value ’of £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 of 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.*
