In days gone by it seemed more than doubtful whether New Zealand would ever produce tobacco really worth smoking. But now, owing to improved methods of culture and manufacture the Dominion is growing tobacco of really fine quality, and farmers in districts where it flourishes are finding it more and more worth their while to cultivate it as a sideline. That there is money in it for the grower is demonstrated by the fact that the average yield of tobacco crop per acre is worth £5O, sometimes more. As for the manufacturers, .they are to be heartily congratulated on successfully establishing-an industry Which not only already finds employment for many workers but promises to become of immense assistance to agriculturists and a source of our national wealth. The leading brands of these tobaccos are: Riverhead Gold, a pure aromatic of very agreeable flavour ; Navy Cut (Bulldog), a medium-flavoured tobacco very popular with smokers ; and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), a fine, full-flavoured variety that has innumerable friends.”
