PART VI. =0 A) That in cases where it is found impracticable for the inspector to perform the grading the onus should be placed upon the owner or shipper to grade or prepare the product, in accordance with the standards laid down; in such cases, the service may take the form of inspection only of the whole or a prescribed proportion of the shipment. That in the case of grading and/or inspection under such legislation, official certificates as to grade or standard of quality should be issued where expedient. ~~ That the legislation should take the form of a general enabling Ordinance, following the examples of South Africa and Kenya, with provision for the application of the Ordinance to any particular product, and the framing of rules dealing specifically with the grades or standards, and the services of grading or inspection or both. 6. TRANSPORT. That, having regard to the difficulties of transporting agricultural produce to the railway systems and the heavy cost thereof, it is desired to invite the attention of the Governments of the East African Territories to the importance of reducing the capital and running costs of motor vehicles, in particular, by every means within their power. 7 NATIVE AGRICULTURE. ‘\ It is desired to impress upon the Governments of Hast Africa the great importance of a pronounced agricultural bias being given to the education of Africans in these territories, where agriculture is almost the sole industry upon which the sustenance and advancement of the African peoples depend —a principle which has already been emphasized by the Phelps-Stokes Commission. ‘1 It is further considered that, for the development of native agriculture, a staff of Africans trained in agriculture and capable of performing the duties of agricultural instructors is essential; and it is urged that the necessary provision should also be made for the systematic training of African teachers in agriculture for schools in native areas. COTTON. 1. TecHNIQUE oF FiELD EXPERIMENTS. That whatever method of field experiment was used it should be so designed as to permit the degree of accuracy being determined. Attention was also called to the inaccuracy which may be involved in comparing varieties which are different in habit and which may, therefore, be differently affected by the cultural conditions adopted, e.g., uniformity of spacing for large and small types is obviously unsound. 2. Tue Keeping AND UTiLisaTioN oF RECORDS. That the keeping and utilisation of records with regard to the Cotton plant and its yield necessitates Experimental Stations being adequately equipped. F8
