PART V.. 277 Messrs. Kirby, Simpson, and Kirkham thought that there was no very great urgency in the matter, and that it would be best to defer it until something more was known about Amani. After further discussion it was agreed that: — (a) The publication of an East African Agricultural Journal was necessary. ‘b) An East African Agricultural Journal should be issued from Amani, and that its production should be one of the normal functions of that Institute, when re-established. (This second conclusion was passed by a majority of eight to six.) CHAPTER XII, AMANI INSTITUTE. Mr. WORTLEY said that he had raised the question of the relationship of Amani Institute to local Departments of Agriculture, as in Nyasaland they were somewhat in the dark as to the proposals for the re-establishment of Amani. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Northcote) observed that the whole question was being carefully discussed in England, and that the Secretary of State had intimated that he had not accepted the recommendations of the ** Schuster >> Committee so far as Amani was concerned. Mr. KIRBY said that it had been known for some time that the Colonial Office was in process of appointing a Director to Amani, and he found it somewhat difficult to discuss the question until the Director was found. He had hoped that a Director would have been appointed, and that he would have been present at the Conference; and it was with that in view that he had raised certain questions in regard to the future use of Amani Institute. He understood that it was intended that the Director, when appointed, should organise the [nstitute himself; and in his absence he felt that they could not discuss the subject in full. Mr. SIMPSON thought that the Conference ought to know the substance of the Report of the Committee of Directors of Agriculture in 1920. Recommendations which were then made appeared to have been lost sight of, and he considered these to be of the greatest importance, and that the relation of Amani to the Departments of Agriculture was of importance not only to the Departments themselves but to the whole development of agriculture in the Fast African territories. The Secretary informed the Conference that the recommendations contained in Sir David Prain’s Report and the Report of the Directors of Agriculture had been considered at the Governors’ Conference in February, 1926, when the question of Amani and research in general was discussed. Mr. HOLM hoped that all Directors of Agriculture would adhere to the principles embodied in their Report on Amani, dated December, 1921, and that the other delegates would also support those principles. There could be no doubt, he thought, that the site of Amani was, in several respects. not wholly suitable for such an institution. and that
