PART V. 
CHAPTER XIV, 
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS IN PART V. 
!.  AMANIL 
(a) That the re-opening of Amani under » competent Director is 
likely to be of value to East Alricu, provided that its 
activities are confined to those (or which the natural 
resources of the Institution render if suitable. 
(b It is desired to emphasise the principle that the activities of 
Amani should be concerned primarily with fundamental 
research work, designed to supplement and in no way to 
supplant the work of the scientific officers of the Depart- 
ments of Agriculture in the East African Territories. 
(¢) Further, it is recommended that the organisation should not 
be laid down until the Director has had an opportunity of 
studying the conditions and requirements of these 
territories, and the methods which should be adopted for 
the co-ordination of research work. 
2. PusBLICATION OF AN EAST AFRICAN AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL. 
(a) That the publication of an East African Agricultural Journal 
is necessary. 
(b) A majority agreed that an East African Agricultural Journal 
should be issued from Amani, and that its production should 
be considered to be one of the normal functions of that 
Institute when re-established. (This conclusion was passed 
by a majority of 8 to 6, the remaining members of the 
Conference abstaining from voting.) 
3. JoiNT EAST AFRICAN AGRICULTURAL SHOW. 
That as the question of a joint East African Agricultural Show 1s 
now before the Governments concerned, it is inadvisable to submit 
any definite conclusion. Should the Governments concerned favour 
the proposal, the Directors of Agriculture undertook to give all 
facilities within their power. 
4. ExcBANGE oF TECHNICAL SPECIALISTS. 
That the temporary exchange of technical specialists between 
Dependencies in East Africa is, in present circumstances, inadvisable. 
It is emphasised that the temporary attachment of specialist officers 
of one dependency to another for special work is most valuable, and, 
further, that greater facilities for visits by specialist officers to 
neighbouring Dependencies should be accorded by Governments. 
5. Tue PRESERVATION OF GAME. 
(a) That the indiscriminate preservation of game and the 
progress of native and non-native agriculture could not go 
hand in hand. 
(b) That evidence had been given to the Conference which 
showed that in Tanganyika, and possibly other parts of 
Africa, indiscriminate game preservation was, at the present 
time, intensifying the difficulties of the European settler 
and restricting the progress of agriculture; and, further, that 
it had the effect of so segregating natives that their land was 
becoming exhausted, and a condition was arising leading to 
their demoralisation and preventing their natural rate of 
increase.
