TOBACCO GROWING
Successful Farms in New South
Wales.

There are many "dry areas" so far
as the soil is concerned in New South
Wales, but it is gratifying to know
that instead of this unpopular condi-
ton being primal curse it offers phe-
nOmenal advantages for the produc-
ton of certain crops, the greatest of
which is tobacco.
TObacco-growing has been tenta-
lively INDUCED in in this country for
many years, but the industry has only
been taken up on Il large scale since
the possibilities of the dry areas have
been fully recognized.
The mCst noteworthy success in
tobacco-growing have been found in
Tamworth and Manila districts, about
300 miles north of Sydney, but at pres
ent the industry is largely in the
hands Of the Chinese, who take the
farms on shares and make a certainty
of crops in years good and bad.
The number of Chinese making good
livings out of the industry is notice
ably large, but now that the white
population is awake to the potentiali-
ties of growing tobacco for the Austria
lian trade and for export to other
countries, the Oriental will not be al
lowed to monopolize such good thing
much longer.
The Government too, awakening TO
the fact that another source of the
country'S wealth has been tapped. is
considering the placing of returned
soldiers Oh tobacco farms in the Tam
worth district. 1t is said that the
work is very suitable for incapaci-
tated men, for although it demands
unremitting attention and the greatest
OF patience, the labor entailed is com
paratively light.
This seasons crops at VamwOrth are
the best the district has known for
years, and it is refreshing sight to
see the large paddocks OF big green
lear reaching as high as the fences
and the prospect of Il good picking is
assured.
1t is estimated that the average
yield in this district will be 1G cwt. of
leaf per acre. That at 371a cents per
pound would mean Il return of SG72
per acre gross. Some crops are ex-
pected to 90 as high as a ton per acre.
The local experts anticipate a big
move in the direction of tobacco plant
ing in the near future They predict
that the industry will grow into one
Of the biggest in the Commonwealth
and that the importation of cheap
labor leaf will be rendered unneces-
sary before long.
The profits to the grower are far be
yond those obtainable in any other
primary industry, with the same in
itial outlay and lahor-hence the pop

PROHIBITION BILL
VETO or PRESIDENT WILSON 10
oVERRIDDEN BY VERY DE-
clslVE VOTE.
QUICK ACTION UNEXPECTED
Attempt to Postpone Consideration Of
Veto Message Falled--PresIdent
Objected to Wartime Clause
In the Bill.

Washington-President Wilson un-
Rxpectedly vetoed the prohibition
enforcement bill, and within three
hours the House had repassed 1t over
his vote by vote Of 176 to 80. The
total vote was barely more than a
majority Of the entire membership.
Dry leaders In the Senate immedi
ately began laying plans to Ee-pass
the bill there.
The president refused to sign the
bill because 1t included the enforce
ment Of wartime prohibition.
The objects OF wartime prohibition,
the president said in his veto, had
been satisfied, and Sound public pol
Icy makes clear the reason and neces-
sity for its repeal"
1t would not be difficult, the presi-
dent held, for Congress to deal sep
arately with the two issues.
The veto hit Congress like crack
Of lightning. The house getting on
its feet again, deserted its leaders,
who wanted to defer consideration
80 as to round up all the dry mem
bers. But the drys swept into the
chamber and showed there was an
overwhelming sentiment among them
to give the government ample Weap-
ons for dealing with the liquor traffic,
now outlawed throughout the land.
Nobody had really professed to
know that the president would veto
the bill. Republicans and Democrats
alike-and the countless multitude
that had sorrowfulIy watched the
passing Of the bars-though 1t would
become law without his signature.
Attorncy.Geperal sPalmer, it was
said, had declared it constitutional.
But the president propped up in
bed, dictated and then signed a veto
message and sent it along to Con.
gress, without worrying apparently
about what Congress might do.
With repassage Of the law by the
House and the prospect Of the same
thing happening in the Senate, hope
of the big wet spell that would run
over the Christmas season vanished
into thin air.
Prohibition leaders predicted that
the refusal Of the House to accept the
presidents veto meant that the sale
Of liquor would not be permitted
again in the life Of this and many

ence was unable to accomplish, the

ment of the body, finally adjourned.
Despite two attempts by Mr. Wilson
