PART V. 23 method by which co-operation could and should be effected, as personal factors, of necessity, entered into the question. and were often the most important. He understood that the position in regard to the Empire Cotton Growing Corporation was that work in Africa had not progressed far enough for them to define clearly their line of work but that the tendency was for them to confine their attention as much as possible to research work. CHAPTER X, CO-OPERATION BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE. Mr. WORTLEY said that many matters which he had in mind when he asked for this item to be put on the Agenda had already been discussed, and arrangements had been made for such action as he had in mind, and there were only one or two points which he now wished to bring up. He felt strongly that this Conference had been very successful, and that they should formulate some definite scheme in order to ensure continuous results. A further difficulty in putting a definite scheme before the Conference was due to the fact that several of the points which he had intended to bring up were dependent on the establishment of Amani, and there were only two matters which he would now like to have discussed. Firstly, he thought that it would be of great advantage to Tropical Agriculture in the East African Territories if a permanent committee in England were instituted, which would take an interest in the progress of African tropical agriculture; and he suggested that Mr. Holm be asked to make enquiries when he went to England on leave as to the advisability and practicability of this proposal. Secondly, it must be admitted that literature on the Agriculture of East Africa was at present very inadequate, and that definite steps should be taken to improve this unsatisfactory state of affairs. Closer co-operation between the local Departments of Agriculture was desirable and would, he felt certain. be brought about as a result of this Conference. Mr. HOLM agreed, in principle, with Mr. Wortley’s suggestion, but was not in favour of the appointment of a Committee at home, unless it were composed of people with a knowledge of local African conditions and the administration of Departments of Agriculture. At present, probably, such people could not be found, but if, at a later date, it should be found possible, he thought that the Committee would be very useful. If he could help in any way when he was on leave he would be very glad to do so. He would mention that there was at present in existence a Committee appointed by the Secretary of State to advise him with regard to the training of officers for the staffing of Agricultural Departments in the Crown Colonies, and that they had been discussing other matters of interest to Agriculturat Departments and the industry which they serve. In regard to literature, he would say that there was no more practical way of co-operation among territories than interchange of good agricultural literature, and he hoped the position in this respect would soon be considerably improved.
