PART VI. =0 
A) That in cases where it is found impracticable for the 
inspector to perform the grading the onus should be placed 
upon the owner or shipper to grade or prepare the product, 
in accordance with the standards laid down; in such cases, 
the service may take the form of inspection only of the whole 
or a prescribed proportion of the shipment. 
That in the case of grading and/or inspection under such 
legislation, official certificates as to grade or standard of 
quality should be issued where expedient. 
~~ That the legislation should take the form of a general 
enabling Ordinance, following the examples of South Africa 
and Kenya, with provision for the application of the 
Ordinance to any particular product, and the framing of 
rules dealing specifically with the grades or standards, and 
the services of grading or inspection or both. 
6. TRANSPORT. 
That, having regard to the difficulties of transporting agricultural 
produce to the railway systems and the heavy cost thereof, it is 
desired to invite the attention of the Governments of the East 
African Territories to the importance of reducing the capital and 
running costs of motor vehicles, in particular, by every means within 
their power. 
7 NATIVE AGRICULTURE. 
‘\ It is desired to impress upon the Governments of Hast Africa 
the great importance of a pronounced agricultural bias being 
given to the education of Africans in these territories, where 
agriculture is almost the sole industry upon which the 
sustenance and advancement of the African peoples depend 
—a principle which has already been emphasized by the 
Phelps-Stokes Commission. 
‘1 It is further considered that, for the development of native 
agriculture, a staff of Africans trained in agriculture and 
capable of performing the duties of agricultural instructors 
is essential; and it is urged that the necessary provision 
should also be made for the systematic training of African 
teachers in agriculture for schools in native areas. 
COTTON. 
1. TecHNIQUE oF FiELD EXPERIMENTS. 
That whatever method of field experiment was used it should be 
so designed as to permit the degree of accuracy being determined. 
Attention was also called to the inaccuracy which may be involved 
in comparing varieties which are different in habit and which may, 
therefore, be differently affected by the cultural conditions adopted, 
e.g., uniformity of spacing for large and small types is obviously 
unsound. 
2. Tue Keeping AND UTiLisaTioN oF RECORDS. 
That the keeping and utilisation of records with regard to the 
Cotton plant and its yield necessitates Experimental Stations being 
adequately equipped.
