(14) LEGISLATIVE MEASURES IN THE CONTROL OF 
INSECT PESTS AND PLANT DISEASE. 
(Paper by T. J. Anderson, Entomologist, Kenya.—T.C.(C)E. & M.1.) 
The importance of agriculture to the Colony of Kenya is well 
recognised and, as it is the basic industry, it is logical to assume that 
nothing should be left undone to place it on a sound and permanent 
basis and to protect it from pests and diseases. 
Development, especially in recent years, has been rapid: for 
example, between June 1920 and June 1925 the acreage under 
cultivation had more than doubled. 
Within a comparative short time, 400,000 acres of bush or grass 
land have been put under crops; the natural grass has been pastured 
and acres of forest have been cleared. 
All these operations have to some extent relieved pests and 
diseases from the restrictions imposed by their natural associations 
and have so disturbed the normal balance which nature had striven 
to maintain through long years that pests and diseases have become 
much more prominent and are responsible for increasing damage and 
consequent loss. 
Again, during the Colony’s development, thousands of consign- 
ments of plants and seeds have been imported from overseas, 
bringing with them the risk of the introduction of new pests and 
diseases.
