THE INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE. 



The International Agricultural Institute owes its inception to the initiative 

 of His Majesty the King of Italy, who early in 1905 invited the different Governments 

 of the world to take part in a Conference, to be held at Rome in the May following, 

 for the purpose of considering the constitution and organization of the proposed 

 Institute. The objects which the King of Italy had in view in suggesting the creation 

 of this new body may be gathered from the following extract from a letter which 

 His Majesty addressed to the President of the Italian Council of Ministers :— 



" The agricultural classes, who are generally the most numerous, and who 

 exercise gxeat influence everywhere on the fate of nations, are unable, owing to the 

 area over which they are scattered, to take adequate measures either for the 

 improvement of their produce and for its distribution in accordance with the 

 demands of the consumers, or for the protection of their own interests in the market, 

 which is becoming more and more world-wide, for the more important products of 

 the soil.
