265 PART VI. 
5. THE PRESERVATION OF GAME. 
(a) That the indiscriminate preservaticn 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. 
AGRICULTURE. 
1. MANURES. 
That the attention of the Governments of East Africa be drawn 
to the possibility of the existence of deposits useful as fertilisers in 
the various territories, and that such Governments be asked to consider 
the recommendation that their respective Geological Departments 
should make this matter a prominent subject in their normal 
investigation and report. 
2. TRANSPORTATION OF STOCK. 
(a) On the statement presented by the Trades Commissioner for 
South Africa, it is noted that the freight and other charges 
on stock imported from South Africa are considerable, and 
it is requested that the Trades Commissioner should make 
representation with a view to effecting reductions. 
(b) It is considered that the rates on livestock from England to 
Fast African ports are excessive, are limiting the importations of 
stock, and are, therefore, retarding livestock improvement in East 
African territories. It is, therefore, urged that representations be 
made to the Shipping Companies requesting that a substantial 
reduction be offered. 
3. CompuLsORY DIPPING OF CATTLE BY NATIVES. 
That under existing conditions the compulsory dipping of cattle 
by natives is, at present, impracticable over extensive areas. 
4. WHEAT CULTIVATION BY NATIVES. 
That wheat growing by natives should be encouraged in areas 
suitable to the crop, not only for improving the food ration: for the 
native population, but also for production for purposes of sale when 
satisfactory transport conditions exist. 
5. PREVENTION OF ADULTERATION. 
(a) That the principle of official compulsory grading and/or 
inspection of agricultural produce, prior to export, is sound 
and should be applied wherever practicable in the interests 
both of producer and the trade. 
(b) That, in order to give effect thereto, legislation is essential. 
(¢) That charges calculated to cover the cost of the grading and, 
or inspection service should be levied.
