Does tobacco-growing in New Zealand pay ? The answer to that question is : Look at the rapidly increasing number of meh on the land wno are now turning their attention to tobacco culture in this country. The early attempts to put New Zealandgrown tobacco on the market (about 30 years ago) were, it must be confessed, disappointing. The sample? produced were very crude. But modern methods of culture and treatment of the leaf have, completely altered all that, and as an average crop of New Zealand tobacco is now worth can be - no question about tobacco culture paying the farmer. As to the “weed” in its manufactured form, it is excellent. Unlike most of the imported brands, it contains very little nicotine, and may be indulged in ad lib without, harmful results, while the toasting of the leaf (quite a new idea) develops flavour and aroma surprisingly. Undoubtedly this industry, already flourishing, is destined to become of national importance.
