THE INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL INSTI- 

 TUTE was founded at Rome in 1905 with the co-operation of 

 the governments of most of the principal countries of the 

 world, and since that time great progress has been made in 

 placing the organisation of the Institute on an effective basis. 



The Board of Agriculture and Fisheries think, therefore,, 

 that it may be opportune to bring to the notice of agricul- 

 turists in Great Britain the objects and work of the Institute 

 in order that they may become acquainted with the efforts 

 which are being made on behalf of agriculturists in all parts 

 of the globe. 



The present publication contains two statements, made 

 respectively by the President and the Vice-President of the 

 Institute, explaining the way in which the Institute has been 

 organised, and the results that it is hoped to obtain. Full 

 particulars of the steps leading to the foundation of the 

 Institute and of the subsequent proceedings will be found in 

 two Parliamentary Publications [Cd. 2958, price is. yd., and 

 Cd. 4727, price 9jd.], which can be obtained from Messrs- 

 Wyman & Sons, Fetter Lane, E.G.
