(14) LEGISLATIVE MEASURES IN THE CONTROL OF INSECT PESTS AND PLANT DISEASE. (Paper by T. J. Anderson, Entomologist, Kenya.—T.C.(C)E. & M.1.) The importance of agriculture to the Colony of Kenya is well recognised and, as it is the basic industry, it is logical to assume that nothing should be left undone to place it on a sound and permanent basis and to protect it from pests and diseases. Development, especially in recent years, has been rapid: for example, between June 1920 and June 1925 the acreage under cultivation had more than doubled. Within a comparative short time, 400,000 acres of bush or grass land have been put under crops; the natural grass has been pastured and acres of forest have been cleared. All these operations have to some extent relieved pests and diseases from the restrictions imposed by their natural associations and have so disturbed the normal balance which nature had striven to maintain through long years that pests and diseases have become much more prominent and are responsible for increasing damage and consequent loss. Again, during the Colony’s development, thousands of consign- ments of plants and seeds have been imported from overseas, bringing with them the risk of the introduction of new pests and diseases. 299
