KING’S VISIT TO ROME.

Visit to Italian Tombs. (A. and N.Z. Cable Association), * ROME, May 9. King George placed wreaths on Victor Emmanuel and Humbert’s tombs in the Pantheon; also on the tomb of the unknown warrior. He visited the International Institution of Agriculture, and in a speech, he expressed his personal active interest in the fortunes and misfortunes of the agricultural industry, not only of his own country and the Dominions, but throughout the world. His sympathy went out to .his fellow agriculturists who had to combat the special difficulties owing to the severe fall in prices following the war upheaval. The way to peace and prosperity is uphill, but perhaps the best and most direct path is along the lines of cooperation, so admirably followed by the International Institute ,which has supplied farmers of all countries with the latest practical scientific information.
