Canada Tobacco Output and Local Accidents Report
Canada produced about 37 million pounds of tobacco in 1950, with over half of raw leaf now grown domestically and imports mainly in manufactured form. A road accident in Vincent street Ararat saw a truck overturn after dogs fought, driver Gillies escaped serious injury, and dogs fled unharmed. A veteran journalist in Ararat retires after 67 years of covering council meetings, while National Tobacco Corporation plans a Warracknabeal nursery and three acres of initial plantings to supply 3,000 seedlings next July.
