2 PARTV. ~ Mr. SIMPSON also agreed with Mr. Wortley, in principle, fhough he was somewhat doubtful of the uses of a Committee in London, such as that suggested. He thought that possibly their needs could best be served by the appointment of a sub-committee of the Committee of Civil Research for last African Tropical Agriculture, if that were possible. The question of formulating a definite scheme for the establishment of a body that would be representative of local Departments of Agriculture was discussed. and it was decided : — That no conclusion could be reached in this matter until further progress had been made in regard to the establishment of Amani Institute. CHAPTER XI, AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL. Mr. HOLM read a paper* on the establishment of an Agricultural Journal for Eastern Africa (referred to in Agenda as T.C.(C)Ag.1). He said that if the publication of the journal were undertaken by the Amani Institute he thought that the appointment of an Editor at Amani would strengthen the staff there, and that, at a later date, Amani would be in a position to publish scientific memoirs. He hoped that, as a result of the present Conference, an Agricultural Journal for Bast Africa would soon be published regularly. Mr. KIRBY thought that individual Governments should subscribe to a central editorial and publishing department, the material for publication being provided mainly by the technical departments concerned. It was likely that the Amani Institute would, in time, have its own scientific journal, and it might be convenient for the headquarters of the East Africa Journal of Agriculture to be established there from the beginning, since later it would be economical for a combined journal, or both journals to be conducted by a single editorial staff. (The above was circulated in the form of a note under T.C.(C)Ag.11.) Mr. SIMPSON thought that the journal should be published at Amani, and that the Institute should do it as part of their normal duties. He did not wish to submit to Government a proposal for a contribution to Amani for the journal, in addition to the ordinary lump sum contribution. Messrs. Burton and Beckley were doubtful as to whether Amani ought to undertake the publication; and Mr. Kirby pointed out that the Research Institute at Trinidad publishes a journal such as that contemplated. Mr. HOLM thought that the editor of the journal should be appointed, as soon as the Governments had agreed to a scheme, and that publication should not necessarily be deferred until Amani was established. In Kenya the question was one of great importance and a pressing need, and he would like to see it carried out as soon as possible. * For text of paper see Appendix. 270
