It was reported at the last meeting of the Paeroa Domain Board that the cutting of the gorse on Primrose Hill had been completed, but it would not be burned off until the spring, when the fire would also destroy the young growth. Choosing a birthday present for a man is not as simple as. shelling peas. You may so easily give him something he has no use for. Tons of money are wasted on presents that are received with perfunctory smiles and thanks but are not valued. Tastes differ widely, but there is one taste common to 95 men out of every hundred —the taste of tobacco. If you want to give a present that will appeal to nearly every man, give him something to smoke, preferably a bit of good "cut up,” and the best cut-up tobacco is our own New Zealand grown. This ’baccy is the purest of any because (unlike the imported) it contains only a minimum quantity of nicotine. Consequently it can be smoked all day long “and then some” with enjoyment and without injury to health. So a really acceptable (and inexpensive) birthday gift is, say, i) pound (or a couple of pounds) of N.Z. tobacco. It is made in various strengths. Riverhead Gold is mild, Navy Cut (Bulldog) is medium, and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) is fullflavoured.*
