with development along the lines of ** mixed farming,” and 
particularly on dairy farms, it may be expected that pigs will be 
bred and fattened in larger numbers than at present. 
AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS. 
From a value of £208,611 in 1914 agricultural exports rose in 
1922 to £924,140 and in 1925 to £2,296,698. The value of agricultural 
produce of local growth and manufacture consumed either in Kenya 
or in neighbouring Territories cannot be arrived at with that degreee 
of accuracy necessary for statistical purposes, but it is considerable. 
The approximate value of certain animal products sold in the year 
ending June, 1925, was: Dairy Products. £88.886; Bacon and Hams, 
£23,700; Wool, £31,320. 
ORGANISATION. 
In conclusion a brief outline of the main {features of the 
organisation of the agricultural industry and the Department of 
Agriculture may be given. 
The Convention of Associations, with its affiliated District 
Associations, considers, among others, agricultural matters, and makes 
representations to Government. In addition, bodies like the Coffee 
Planters’ Union, and the Sisal Growers’ Association, watch the 
interests of the industry they represent. Companies such as the 
Kenya Farmers’ Association and Plateau Maize Growers Ltd., both 
dealing chiefly in maize, also the Lumbwa and Kenya Creameries, are 
run on co-operative lines. The wheat industry is represented by two 
up-to-date grain mills; coffee by several cleaning mills; and sugar, as 
already stated, by one large and several smaller mills. There is also 
one well equipped bacon factory. 
The Agricultural and Horticultural Society of Kenya organises 
shows periodically at three show centres, Nairobi, Nakuru, and 
Eldoret. ~The Government contributes towards the expenditure of 
the Society by a Grant-in-Aid of £500 per annum. There is also a 
Horticultural Society holding Horticultural Shows at Nairobi, and a 
Poultry Club. 
In the Native Reserves the Native Councils recently created are 
beginning to take an interest in agricultural progress and to vote sums 
of money for agricultural services. Native Agricultural Shows are of 
recent origin and during last year eight of these were held throughout 
the country. The educational value of these shows is increasing 
yearly, and these gatherings offer an opportunity for the Administrative 
and Agricultural Officers to encourage more and better production. 
They also serve as an index of progress in the reserves generally. 
From a vote of the Department of Agriculture a grant of about £25 
is made to each Show for prizes. 
The organisation of the Department of Agriculture embraces the 
two Divisions of the Veterinary Department—the Administrative and 
Executive Division, and the Division of Veterinary Research, also 
sections dealing with Agricultural Chemistry, Entomology, Mycology, 
Plant-breeding; Agricultural = Statistics, Crop Estimates, and 
Meteorological records; Grading, Grain Conditioning, Plant Import 
Inspection, and Cool Stores at the Port ; and Native Agriculture, 
including two Native Agricultural Schools. Research work is 
undertaken at the Veterinary Research Laboratory at Kabete: and
