eh PART ul. This diagramatic sketch* will be of interest in this connection and show clearly what IT mean. It has been sketched from an actual tree and ‘you will observe how the strong suckers which have grown up through the main axis of the tree have been bent over by weight of crop and are themselves producing suckers which have in turn been bent over, an ad infinitum process. Here I might add that this particular tree yielded 31 lbs. of clean bean from the main crop between December, 1925, and March, 1926. It is a tree with a large cherry and a bold bean, and one of the selected trees. It has borne a large cherry right throughout the crop. It is an exceptional tree in respect to its large cherry and bean but not particularly in its vegeta- tive development. These large trees are usual in native gardens or shambas when they have halt a chance. I think the secret of the wonderful development of these trees is the large amount of humus in the soil; they like this for they are gross feeders. CoFFEE ROBUSTA DEVELOPMENT WORK OF THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. I shall refer now to the Coffee Robusta development work of the Department of Agriculture. Our serious work in Coffee Robusta dates back to 1916. We have had under test a wide range of robustas, as for example Toro robusta, Java robusta 78 and 104, Canephora, Quilou, Bwebza, and Bwamba, Bukoba, and several local types, and they are all pretty fully dealt with in Circular No. 11 issued by the Department of Agriculture. From amongst these types samples were prepared for liquoring tests and market value. Many of them were reported to be of poor quality and worthless but our No. 9 proved to be a satisfactory product, and I will quote the expert's report on it. ‘*“ The present sample represents a very desirable type of coffee, which would be quite suitable for consumption in the United Kingdom; consignments cf similar quality would always be readily saleable in Lond m.” Tha experts who carried out the roasting trials had previously repcrted on all samples of Robusta from Uganda forwarded recently to the Imperial Institute and they stated that the present sample was Ly far the best of the series. They suggested that it would be desirable to use this seed for propagation in Uganda. We have stuck to this type ever since. It was our aim to obtain the best material we could get to begin with and improve on that if possible. Our next concern was to obtain a large and bold bean and we have that, I think, in our No. 9 Selections, ete. Let us refer to the samples of coffees which are set out on the sheet here (see photograph*). I think you will find them of very great interest, for the disparity is shown between the ordinary native type in Uganda and between Bukoba coffee and our No. 9 Selections. It is encouraging to note how superior our No. 9 Selections are to those ordinary types and how favourably they compare with Uganda arabica. The beans on the sheet are set out in spaces of equal size and there are a hundred beans in each space, set out side by side. You will notice that the Bukoba coffee and the ordinary robusta of Uganda take up only about half the space of No. 9 selections and the space occupied by No. 9 selections and Kinawa selection is about the same, a little less than that taken up by an ordinary sample of plantation arabica. * Not reproduced. 3
