PART V. ) Uganda had already satisfactory purchasers for all its produce, and they did not require advertisement in this direction. This was only a personal opinion of his own, and if the Uganda Government should decide to participate he would, of course, do his utmost to send from Uganda a representative exhibit. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Holm) explained that there would probably be two important Conferences in Nairobi during the course of 1927—the Governors’ Conference and the Unofficial Conference, and he thought that it would be of great interest to the members of these Conferences to see a representative Show of the kind proposed. It would, of course, be of equal interest to commercial men. He agreed that, of necessity, the organisation and work of special exhibits would fall largely on the various Agricultural Departments. Mr. KIRBY stated that, as in the case of Uganda, Tanganyika had satisfactory buyers for all its produce; but that, in the event of a Show being held, the Agricultural Department of Tanganyika would, under permission, be glad to contribute a general exhibit. Mr. WORTLEY thought that the Chamber of Agriculture and Commerce in Nyasaland would not find itself able to support the proposal with any degree of enthusiasm. Mr. HOLM, in reply to Mr. Kirby, stated that when the proposal had been supported in principle it would be possible to make arrange- ments with the steamship and railway services for the provision of adequate facilities. In concluding the discussion, Mr. KIRBY, on behalf of the delegates, thanked Mr. Holm for his explanation of the proposal and for, the opportunity given for ventilating the subject. © It was agreed That as the question of a joint East African Agricultural Show is now before the Governments concerned it is inadvisable to submit any definite conclusion. Should the Governments con- cerned favour the proposal, the Directors of Agriculture undertook to give all facilities within their power. CHAPTER IV. METRIC SYSTEM. MONS. VAN DEN ABEELE wished to point out that he realised that this subject was rather a difficult one to discuss, and that it might take some considerable time for their wishes in this respect to be carried out, but perhaps in the near future the use of both English and Metric measures in English Agricultural Journals might possibly be Introduced. He thought it useful to point out how much commercial relations would be facilitated by the use of common measures. He hoped that the use of such measures as a bag *’ of maize might be discontinued.
