PRINCE OF WALES A FARMER

Takes Up Farming Enterprise in Cornwall on the Suggestion of the King. London. —The prince of Wales, on the initiative of the king, has entered upon an interesting farming enterprise on the Duchy estate in Cornwall. The opportunity was presented for the project in March, 1913, when two of the oldest tenants of the duchy retired after long and successful farming careers. The farms together extend to about four hundred acres and form the Whiteford Home farm, Stoke Climsland, Callington. The holding is of convenient size for the system of mixed husbandry that has been adopted, giving suitable scope for the breeding of live stock, particularly cattle.
