265 PART VI. 5. THE PRESERVATION OF GAME. (a) That the indiscriminate preservaticn of game and the progress of native and non-native agriculture could not go hand in hand. ‘b) That evidence had been given to the Conference which showed that in Tanganyika, and possibly other parts of Africa, indiscriminate game preservation was, at the present time, intensifying the difficulties of the European settler and restricting the progress of agriculture; and, further, that it had the effect of so segregating natives that their land was becoming exhausted, and a condition was arising leading to their demoralisation and preventing their natural rate of increase. AGRICULTURE. 1. MANURES. That the attention of the Governments of East Africa be drawn to the possibility of the existence of deposits useful as fertilisers in the various territories, and that such Governments be asked to consider the recommendation that their respective Geological Departments should make this matter a prominent subject in their normal investigation and report. 2. TRANSPORTATION OF STOCK. (a) On the statement presented by the Trades Commissioner for South Africa, it is noted that the freight and other charges on stock imported from South Africa are considerable, and it is requested that the Trades Commissioner should make representation with a view to effecting reductions. (b) It is considered that the rates on livestock from England to Fast African ports are excessive, are limiting the importations of stock, and are, therefore, retarding livestock improvement in East African territories. It is, therefore, urged that representations be made to the Shipping Companies requesting that a substantial reduction be offered. 3. CompuLsORY DIPPING OF CATTLE BY NATIVES. That under existing conditions the compulsory dipping of cattle by natives is, at present, impracticable over extensive areas. 4. WHEAT CULTIVATION BY NATIVES. That wheat growing by natives should be encouraged in areas suitable to the crop, not only for improving the food ration: for the native population, but also for production for purposes of sale when satisfactory transport conditions exist. 5. PREVENTION OF ADULTERATION. (a) That the principle of official compulsory grading and/or inspection of agricultural produce, prior to export, is sound and should be applied wherever practicable in the interests both of producer and the trade. (b) That, in order to give effect thereto, legislation is essential. (¢) That charges calculated to cover the cost of the grading and, or inspection service should be levied. IE
