- PART V. at the Henry Scott Agricultural Laboratories, in the grounds of which some experimental work is also undertaken. Co-operative experi- ments with farmers are also carried out on wheat, maize, and coffee in different districts. The difficulty of providing the many services which should be rendered by a Department of Agriculture, efficiently staffed to carry out its functions, is being acutely felt at this stage of development of the Colony. Only those closely associated with the day to day administration and activities of the Department of Agriculture, serving a country so young in its stage of development and about which so little is known, can fully realise the paucity of information and knowledge possessed of its resources, and the best methods to be adopted. The need and the importance of well-organised Departments of Agriculture in the Crown Colonies was forcibly expressed in the report of a Committee appointed to advise the Secretary of State, which said “ In the course of our enquiries we have been profoundly impressed by the magnitude and importance of the tasks which the Colonial Agricultural Departments have to perform.”’ Again, ‘‘ But, though our proposals deal only with existing conditions, we should fail in our duty, if, in framing them, we did not bear in mind the enormous development which is certain to oceur both in the responsibilities of the Colonial Agricultural Departments and in the scope of the benefits, which they will, if properly equipped, be able to confer on their particular Dependencies, and on the Empire at large.” It is remarkable that while in older countries, e.g., in Britain, the Continent of Europe, the United States of America, and elsewhere, countries with great agricultural traditions extending over a long period of time, there is an increasing recognition of the value and need of agricultural research-and experiment and services of that kind are continually being increased, yet in young countries, where comparatively little is known of agricultural practice and the application of agricultural science to it, the support both of Governments and Colonists is not infrequently difficult to secure for services of that kind. The demand is for immediate and tangible results and that cannot always be assured, with the result that technical services, essential and valuable to the industry, are not provided. It may be said that as compared with other countries the services to be rendered here are applicable to a comparatively small number of people engaged in agricultural pursuits, but it should be noted that agriculture in Kenya is not confined to one or two major products. It is very diverse in character; the problems to be dealt with are numerous. Native as well as European interests require attention, and ever there is the proper desire on the part of a highly intelligent farming community to be in the vanguard of progress and method. The position is that the activities of the Department of Agriculture in Kenya are not governed by the extent of the service, but by the large namber of services which have to be rendered and subjects which have to be dealt with. The expenditure of the Department of Agriculture in 1925 was £101,210 and the revenue received £33,599, chiefly derived from inoculation and orading fees. and sales of sera and vaccines. I5R
