This is shown by the contri- bution of their leaders toward the establishment of the Food and Agri- culture Organization of the United Nations, begun, at Hot Springs and so recently completed on Canadian soil.

Groff, secretary of the Federation, dealt with various topics, including the following; "The year 1945 was one of out- standing events_ for organized agri- culture in the international field, and the Canadian Federation of Ag- riculture was privileged to play a leading part in these events. "First in order was the visit of the delegation of six representatives of bhe Farmers' Unions of the United Kingdom, who had been on tour of New Zealand and Australia, and who landed in Canada towards the end of March. Their, tour through- Can- ada was under the general auspices of .the Canadian Federation, and with the co-operation of all the peo- vincial federations and farm organ- izations, meetings were arranged in all the provinces, with a general con- ference in Winnipeg in April with the Board of Directors of the Cana- dian Federation. The Federation was also instrumental in arranging a conference between the British del- egation and representatives of. both Canadian and American farm erg- anizations. at Washington.
