Crops Spoiled By Rain. Potato growers and wheat growers in the Rangiora district have suffered losses, in many cases heavy, as a result of rain during the last few Several farmers report having rbst all the potatoes they planted on heavy’ land, and others report that their wheat is turning white, the effect of rot at the robs. It is doubtful whether there are many cherries in £he district fit for sale. Crops were badly damaged by the rain just before Christmas, and the more recent falls have spoiled what remained.

The late G. K. Chesterton, the wellKnown Journalist and Author, may not have cared much for “cakes and ale,”* he preferred, tobacco and ale and was a keen judge of both He loved a good cigar but' loved his merschaum no less.

Now you can’t go on smoking the ordinary tobaccos for any length of time without getting a burned tongue or other ills. But you can puff “toasted” freely as you please; it won’t burn your tongue, irritate your throat, affect your heart or nerves. Where can you find its equal for flavour, aroma, comfort and onjtyment?
