FINISHED WITH COWS
FARMER TURNS PLANTER FROM HAWERA TO NORFOLK Dissatisfied with the prosaic life of a New Zealand dairy farmer, and attracted by the lure of Island life, Air. P. M. Pratt, of Hawera, decided to take up land at Norfolk Island. He returned by the Alaui Pomare this morning. *1 have been there for five weeks, looking over the land,” lie told The Sun, “and I have definitely clinched the deal. I am satisfied there is good money in fruit farming there. Burns, Philp and Co. have just opened a big store at Kingston, the capital, so they must be expecting the island to boom, and shipping facilities will be good.” Air. Pratt, accompanied by his wife, intends to return to Norfolk Island next month to take up his holding.
