PART V. CHAPTER XIV, SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS IN PART V. !. AMANIL (a) That the re-opening of Amani under » competent Director is likely to be of value to East Alricu, provided that its activities are confined to those (or which the natural resources of the Institution render if suitable. (b It is desired to emphasise the principle that the activities of Amani should be concerned primarily with fundamental research work, designed to supplement and in no way to supplant the work of the scientific officers of the Depart- ments of Agriculture in the East African Territories. (¢) Further, it is recommended that the organisation should not be laid down until the Director has had an opportunity of studying the conditions and requirements of these territories, and the methods which should be adopted for the co-ordination of research work. 2. PusBLICATION OF AN EAST AFRICAN AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL. (a) That the publication of an East African Agricultural Journal is necessary. (b) A majority agreed that an East African Agricultural Journal should be issued from Amani, and that its production should be considered to be one of the normal functions of that Institute when re-established. (This conclusion was passed by a majority of 8 to 6, the remaining members of the Conference abstaining from voting.) 3. JoiNT EAST AFRICAN AGRICULTURAL SHOW. That as the question of a joint East African Agricultural Show 1s now before the Governments concerned, it is inadvisable to submit any definite conclusion. Should the Governments concerned favour the proposal, the Directors of Agriculture undertook to give all facilities within their power. 4. ExcBANGE oF TECHNICAL SPECIALISTS. That the temporary exchange of technical specialists between Dependencies in East Africa is, in present circumstances, inadvisable. It is emphasised that the temporary attachment of specialist officers of one dependency to another for special work is most valuable, and, further, that greater facilities for visits by specialist officers to neighbouring Dependencies should be accorded by Governments. 5. Tue PRESERVATION OF GAME. (a) That the indiscriminate preservation of game and the progress of native and non-native agriculture could not go hand in hand. (b) That evidence had been given to the Conference which showed that in Tanganyika, and possibly other parts of Africa, indiscriminate game preservation was, at the present time, intensifying the difficulties of the European settler and restricting the progress of agriculture; and, further, that it had the effect of so segregating natives that their land was becoming exhausted, and a condition was arising leading to their demoralisation and preventing their natural rate of increase.
