WORLD'S TILLERS OF SOIL MEET IN ROME
Rome, Nov. 20. Delegates represent
ing forty-six nations in all parts Of the world were assembled in the mag
nificent marble palace erected in the
grounds of the historical Villa Borg-
hese for the purpose, when King Victor Emanuel opened the first session of the
International Institute of Agriculture today. The organization which owes its existence to the initiative and ef
forts of King Victor Emanuel, and has
met with the warm support of nearly all civilized governments, has for its principal object the collection of complete and reliable information, concern
ing the farm crops in all parts of the world. Its organization is not yet com
pleted, but will be perfected during the session opened today. According to the program favored by a majority of the delegates a number of special departments or bureaus will be created, each to have charge of some particular branch of work, as the gathering of
crop statistics, the collecting of in
formation concerning the wages paid
for farm work, new diseases of vegetation and effective remedies, agricultural
co-operation, insurance and credit, sim
plification of weights and measures,
etc.
The plan of forming this institute
was suggested by King victor Eman
uel about three years ago and the Italian government entered upo nnegotia-
tions with the governments of other countries with a view of obtaining
their support of the movement in the form of binding conventions. At first his plan did not receive much encour
agement in Germany, France and Eng
land, but the United States ratified such a treaty about two years ago and strongly agitated the matter with other governments. Since then there has been a complete change of sentiment in regard to this matter in Germany, France and England and these three countries are now among the most enthusiastic supporters of the International Institute of Agriculture and of its aims. The king of Italy not only had a marble palace built for the exclusive use of the institute, but has also bestowed upon the Institute estates which yield an annual income of from $60,000 to $100,000. The palace Was first used in June of this year, when the permanent organization committee, consisting of representatives of the various countries supporting the institute plan, assembled there for a preliminary conference. Signor Faina, well-known
throughout Europe as an agricultural expert, was chosen presiding officer. In that conference a program was formulated for the organization of the Institute. This program was afterwards submitted by the delegates to their respective governments for approval. The delegates composing the institute will report to the institute at its present session and a complete plan of organization will be developed in accordance with the instructions of the delegates. Primarily the institute will devote itself to the great task of obtaining accurate and reliable crop statistics. Its success in this field will mean an enormous saving to the world and the creation of a gigantic balance wheel for the markets of the world. To counteract the influences that now manipulate and falsify for individual gain in-r formation about crops, with the result of hundred of millions of dollars loss annually to producers and consumers, will Involve bo much readjust
ment that no one can give an accurate fstimate of the benefit in dollars and cents. It is also expected that the Institute will become an efficient promoter of universal peace. Already -it has brought forty-six nations into relations of comity without the slightest fiction, and its inherent principles, those of education and infc nation, ' cannot fail to be a continuous and powerful Influence for peace.
The list of the nations represented in the institute is as follows: Argentine republic, Australia, AustriaHungary, Belgium, Brazil, British
Guinea, Bulgaria, Canada, Chill, China,
Costa Rica, Cuba,' Denmark, Ecuador.
Egypt Ethiopia, France, Germany,
Great Britain, Greece, Guatemala. In
dia, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, Montenegro, Mauritius the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nor

recently ben Investigated by a committee of the Indian government, and their recommendations are being considered by a representative commission, whose report is now due. It Is regarded as highly probable that the large anthracite mining con
cerns will adopt the idea of providing educational facilities for their employes, giving practically every mine worker in the anthracite region the opportunity to learn. The door to promotion will thus be thrown open to the humblest toilers. " One of the ef
