" (d) That in cases where it is found impracticable for the 
inspector to perform the grading the onus should be placed upon the 
owner or shipper to grade or prepare the product, in accordance with 
the standards laid down; in such cases, the service may take the form 
of inspeetion only of the whole or a prescribed proportion of the 
shipment. 
(e) That in the case of grading and/or ‘inspection under such 
legislation, official certificates as to grade or standard of quality should 
be issued where expedient. 
(f) That the legislation should take the form of a general 
enabling Ordinance, following the examples of South Africa and 
Kenya, with provision for the application of the Ordinance to any 
particular product, and the framing of rules dealing specifically with 
the grades or standards. and the services of grading or inspection or 
both. 
C. TRANSPORT. 
That, having regard to the difficulties of transporting agricultural 
produce to the railway systems and the heavy cost thereof, it is desired 
to invite the attention of the Governments of the East African 
Territories to the importance of reducing the capital and running costs 
of motor vehicles, in particular, by every means within their power. 
7. NATIVE AGRICULTURE. 
(a) It is desired to impress upon the Governments of Fast 
Africa the great importance of a pronounced agricultural bias being 
given to the ‘education of Africans in these’ territories, where 
agriculture is almost the sole industry upon which the sustenance and 
advancement of the African peoples depend—a principle which has 
already been emphasised by the Phelps-Stokes Commission. 
(b) * It is further considered that, for the development of native 
agriculture, a staff of Africans trained in agriculture and capable of 
performing the duties of agricultural instructors is essential; and it is 
urged that the necessary provision should also be made for the 
systematic training of African teachers in agriculture for schools in 
native areas.
