HE International Conference of Agricultural Economists was T inaugurated during the summer of 1929, when fifty economists from eleven countries met for two weeks at Dartington Hall, Devon, England, on the invitation of Mr. L. K. Elmhirst. The Second Conference was held at Cornell University, and was attended by over 300 members and visitors, twenty countries being represented. At this meeting the formal Constitution was drawn up and approved. The Third Conference, held at Bad Eilsen, was attended by 170 members, nineteen countries being represented. The Fourth Con ference was held at St. Andrews, when 219 members and visitors attended, of whom 127 were from twenty-one countries outside of the United Kingdom. The Fifth Conference, at Macdonald College, was attended by 510 members from twenty-three countries. The Sixth Conference, at Dartington Hall in 1947, the first to be held after the war, was deliberately limited in numbers. It was attended by 82 members from 23 countries. The Seventh Conference, at Stresa, attracted 271 members from 25 countries. The Eighth Conference was held at Michigan State College and was attended by 340 members from 45 countries. The Conference has now a total membership of 469, with forty National or Area Groups. Its representative character has been steadily growing since the first informal gathering in 1929, until it now embraces the majority of countries where the study of agricul tural economics is pursued. The object of the Conference is that of fostering development of Conferences the science of agricultural economics and of furthering the applica tion of the results of economic investigation of agricultural processes and agricultural organization in the improvement of economic and social conditions relating to agriculture and rural life. Membership consists of individuals who pay £1, $5, or their equivalent per year, but not exceeding £2, $10, or their equivalent, for the period between any two Conferences (which shall be the period from the end of one Conference to the end of the next). The current period will be three years, for which the subscription will thus be £2, $10, or their equivalent. Members will be entitled to a free copy of the Proceedings of the most recent Conference and to copies of the International Journal of Agrarian Affairs. The majority of members are professional agricultural economists engaged in re search, teaching, or public administration, but the membership is representative as well of a wide range of agricultural and economic interests. Applications may be made to the Secretary, who will put the applicant in touch, if desired, with the appropriate national correspondent. Meetings are held at intervals of two or three years, at a time and place determined by the Council. No two successive meetings can be held in the same country. The meetings afford a unique oppor tunity of personal intercourse with fellow workers from all parts of the world. The Proceedings, consisting of papers and discussions at each Con ference, are published, and one copy free of charge is sent to each member. Extra copies may be purchased by members at reduced rates. Copies of the Proceedings of the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Conferences are available on application to the Secretary, Dartington Hall, Totnes, Devon, England.
