Nature generally makes compensations. Here’s a ease in point. The gum country in the North of Auckland is so poor in quality that the soil refuses to lend itself to agrieultural operations. Yet this land so unsuitable for the growing of ordinary crops, is splendidly adapted for tobacco culture, in proof of which yon* 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 flavour, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog), medium strength, and “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead), full flavour. All tflhse tobaccos are toasted, a, process that has a good deal to do with their excellence, by the day. Another of their good points is that they may be smoked with impunity. That is because they contain but comparatively littie 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 represents £SO and often more. Caversham Mixture is the latest addition. 33.
