Summary

First year crop of tobacco at Dungowan, near Penola. An experimental tobacco farm of 20 acres was planted near Penola, assisting in the development of tobacco growing in the area. Dungowan yielded 635 kilograms to the acre and sold at an average price of 43.5 cents per one kilogram. The price would have been higher but for damage caused by high winds to the leaves
