Those who doubt the capacity of Hauraki Plains land fo produce fodder of outstanding size should view a stalk of maize standing outside a Ngatea shop. The top hangs over the verandah, for the stalk Is 15ft 6in long. It is one of an excellent crop grown by Mr L. C. Marc'hant on his farm on Puhanga; Island, and had sixteen leaves ami three large, well-, formed cobs. The difference ’twixt the pipe and the cigarette is as well marked as that between a sandwich and a grilled steak. Hence, while the cigarette has numberless votaries, the pipe, because it is so satisfying, has many more. Seasoned smokers say there is. nothing to equal at pipe for solid comfort and enjoyment. But thei tobacco must be good, and not loaded with nicotine as the imported brands usually are. Our own New Zealandgrown tobaccos are the purest, and being comparatively free from nicotine they are greatly appreicated by smokers, who find they can smoke them for hours at a time without burning their .tongues or experiencing other unpleasant consequences. It i® interesting to note that .these tobaccoe are all toasted ir the process of manufacture, and to the toasting must be attributed the wonderful flavour and delightful aroma that characterises them. The principal brands are Riverhead Gold, mild; Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium ; and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), full strength. All toasted, and eyery tobacconist stocks them,* ;
