Nature generally makes compensations. Here’s a case in point. The gum country in the North of Aucklands so poor in quality that the soil refuses to lend itself to agricultural operations. Yet this land so unsuitable for the growing of ordinary crops, is spendidly adapted for tobacco culture, in proof of which you have only to sample the really fine tobaccos now being manufactured from North Auckland grown leaf. These include “Riverhead Gold” a mild aromatic with a distinctive llavour, Navy Cut” (Bulldog), medium strength, and “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead), full flavour. All these tobaccos are toasted, a process that- has a good deal to do with their excellence, by the way. Another of their good points is that they may he smoked with impunity. That is because they contain but comparatively little nicotine. The success attending the culture of these tobaccos in what was formerly regarded as barren country is convincing growers that “there’s money in it.” The yield of leaf per acre repreents £SO and often more.

Special arrangements have been made with the Returning Officer for the posting of results and screening of same at the Town Hall io~ morrow evening. The picture programme has been extended to run till after midnight.
