PART I. OPENING SPEECHES, AGENDA AND PROGRAMME. CHAPTER I. OPENING SPEECHES. The opening meeting was held in the Memorial Hall at 10-15 a.m. on August 17th, 1926. HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT, in opening the Confer- ence, said :— Gentlemen,—It gives me the very greatest pleasure to welcome you here to Kenya Colony and Protectorate, and I am only sorry that you are meeting for the first time on one of our greyest mornings. I hope, however, that the Kenya sun will come out and shine upon you on subsequent mornings. We are very proud indeed to have this Conference in Kenya and hope you will take away with you a good impression of the Colony. This Conference is, I think, a very striking example of the growing belief which is manifest throughout the world at the present time in the value of co-ordinating agricultural research and of the increasing importance which is being attached to the scientific study of agricultural problems. It is a remarkable testimony to that growing belief that there are eleven governments represented at this Conference here to-day and that they stretch right up this side of Africa from South through Central Africa to Somaliland. I am very glad that the Conference is now actually assembled for 1 know it has been very much in the thoughts of the present Secretary of State, Mr. Amery, for a long time past—in fact ever since he gave attention to Imperial affairs he has been deeply interested in Imperial agriculture. He was, after all, the pupil of Lord Milner and Lord Milner was, I think, the first leading British statesman to realise that the organised study of agriculture, the scientific study of agriculture, was one of the first of the Empire’s needs. Mr. Amery has, therefore, been most deeply interested in the Conference and has sent the following telegram: — Request you will convey to delegates of Agricultural Conference expression of my satisfaction that so representative an assembly has been possible and my conviction that their meeting will be of the greatest value in dealing with problems on which the prosperity of so many countries depends.
