APPENDIX. p : (The numbers given in brackets after the name of the country refer to the number of the rule in the latest cotton regulations unless otherwise stated.) 1. Tue SuppLY OF SEED FOR SOWING. In all British countries in East Africa the Government control the distribution of cotton seed for sowing (Uganda 2, 3. Kenya 2. Tanganyika 5, 6. Nyasaland 5, 6, 7). In Uganda and Kenya the Government can requisition, without compensation, any seed required for sowing (Uganda 4. Kenya 3). In Tanganyika and Swaziland similar requisition can be made on payment (Tanganyika 7. Swaziland 5, 4). The Tanganyika Government can also control the variety of cotton grown by Europeans, being empowered to replace seed for sowing if that stocked by the intending grower for this purpose is found, for one cause or another, unsuitable (Tanganyika 8). 2. Tae CuvrtivatioN AND CARE OF THE CROP. In Tanganyika Territory an attempt is made to fix the sowing season (Tanganyika 12). The same Government have issued rules to regulate the rotation of crops (Tanganyika 11). Kenya and Tanganyika have issued regulations regarding the proper cultivation and weeding of cotton crops (Kenya 8a, Tanganyika 13). In most of these countries the diseases of plants Ordinances give the Director of Agriculture permission to enter crops for the purpose of inspection. 3. Tur ConNtroL oF INsEct AND Funcoip Pests. In all countries concerned rules have been framed for the compulsory removal and burning of the old crop after the picking is completed (Uganda 6,7; Kenya 7, 8; Tanganyika 15, 16; Nyasaland i, 2, 3; Swaziland 2; Northern Rhodesia Not. No. 115). Tanganyika has issued rules for reporting the outbreak of disease (14), and for keeping crops free from disease and insect attacks (13). All countries have issued rules usually under the Plant Diseases Ordinance prohibiting the importation of cotton seed from without. In certain cases this extends to seed of other plants which are known to harbour pests of cotton. Tanganyika has a rule permitting the removal and destruction of diseased plants (18), a rule for the destruction of diseased seed (10), and Kenya also has the same (Kenya 9). Kenya and Tanganyika have rules permitting the Director of Agriculture to remove plants, parts of plants, soil, ete. (Kenya 9, Tanganyika 17). Rules have also been made in most countries for restricting the movement of cotton from disease affected area (Uganda 4, Prevention of Diseases Ordinance, Kenya 5, 10; Tanganyika 9. Nyasaland Plant Pests and Diseases Ordinance. Cotton diseases rules 1-5). 4. MARKETING. Nearly all countries recognise three grades of cotton and have similar rules defining these. Each country has comprehensive rules governing marketing to suit local circumstances and to protect the native (Uganda 8-25. Kenya 11-25. Tanganyika 19-36. Nyasaland 8-19). In addition to this there are certain rules governing ginneries which are designed to ensure the quality of seed for sowing. 314
