PART V. ) 
Uganda had already satisfactory purchasers for all its produce, and 
they did not require advertisement in this direction. This was only 
a personal opinion of his own, and if the Uganda Government should 
decide to participate he would, of course, do his utmost to send from 
Uganda a representative exhibit. 
The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Holm) explained that there would 
probably be two important Conferences in Nairobi during the course 
of 1927—the Governors’ Conference and the Unofficial Conference, and 
he thought that it would be of great interest to the members of these 
Conferences to see a representative Show of the kind proposed. It 
would, of course, be of equal interest to commercial men. He agreed 
that, of necessity, the organisation and work of special exhibits would 
fall largely on the various Agricultural Departments. 
Mr. KIRBY stated that, as in the case of Uganda, Tanganyika 
had satisfactory buyers for all its produce; but that, in the event of 
a Show being held, the Agricultural Department of Tanganyika would, 
under permission, be glad to contribute a general exhibit. 
Mr. WORTLEY thought that the Chamber of Agriculture and 
Commerce in Nyasaland would not find itself able to support the 
proposal with any degree of enthusiasm. 
Mr. HOLM, in reply to Mr. Kirby, stated that when the proposal 
had been supported in principle it would be possible to make arrange- 
ments with the steamship and railway services for the provision of 
adequate facilities. 
In concluding the discussion, Mr. KIRBY, on behalf of the 
delegates, thanked Mr. Holm for his explanation of the proposal and 
for, the opportunity given for ventilating the subject. 
© It was agreed 
That as the question of a joint East African Agricultural Show 
is now before the Governments concerned it is inadvisable to 
submit any definite conclusion. Should the Governments con- 
cerned favour the proposal, the Directors of Agriculture undertook 
to give all facilities within their power. 
CHAPTER IV. 
METRIC SYSTEM. 
MONS. VAN DEN ABEELE wished to point out that he 
realised that this subject was rather a difficult one to discuss, and 
that it might take some considerable time for their wishes in this 
respect to be carried out, but perhaps in the near future the use of 
both English and Metric measures in English Agricultural Journals 
might possibly be Introduced. He thought it useful to point out how 
much commercial relations would be facilitated by the use of common 
measures. He hoped that the use of such measures as a bag *’ of 
maize might be discontinued. (The above was circulated in the form 
of a note under T.C.(C)Ac.22.)
