title: Ploughing.
title: Pflügen.

description: Note: "Pflügender. Gerne erleichtert ein einsichtsvoller Regierungsbeamter dem Eingeborenen seine schwere und ungeschickt angegriffene Feldarbeit. Das Bamumvolk und auch die umliegenden Stämme haben zur Bestellung der Äcker nur eine kurzstielige Hacke. Es ist dem Neger noch nie in den Sinn gekommen, dass er seine starken Ochsen auch zur Landarbeit heranziehen könnte; für ihn ist das Hornvieh nur Schlachtvieh. Der Regierungsbeamte der landwirtschaftlichen Versuchsstation hat mit viel Mühe einige Häuptlinge dazu gebracht, dass sie ihm ihre Ochsen übergaben, damit sie in Pflug und Egge eingefahren werden sollten. Das war harte und oft gefährliche Arbeit, denn nur schwer liessen sich die freiheitgewohnten Tiere zu regelmässiger Arbeit zwingen. Aber es ging. Die Ochsen sollten nun in den Feldern ihrer Herren ihre Kunst beweisen und den Häuptlingen wurden Pflug und Egge zur Verfügung gestellt. Die schwarzen Majestäten lehnten dankend ab. 'Wozu haben wir denn Frauen und Sklaven', hiess es beinahe entrüstet; 'Die sollen, wie bisher, die Feldarbeit tun, die Ochsen aber sollen ihre Freiheit geniessen bis irgend ein Familien- oder Volksfest, eine Totenfeier oder ein fröhlicher Tanz ihnen das Todesurteil spricht.'" (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6).; Note translation:   Ploughmen.  There is an insightful Government Official who likes to ease the burden of  the heavy work which indigenous people have to do in their fields, often in a rather unskilled way. The people of Bamum and the surrounding tribes have only a short-handled matchet to help them prepare their soil for planting. No African has ever thought of harnessing his strong oxen to ease agricultural work. His cattle are primarily used for slaughter. The official at the Agricultural Research Station used all his powers of persuasion to get some chiefs to hand over their oxen, so that they could be trained in ploughing and harrowing. The task was difficult and often dangerous. The animals are used to their freedom and it takes a lot to force them to take on regular work. And now the oxen were supposed to show off their new skills on the fields of their masters, so the chiefs were also given ploughs and harrows. Their Black Majesties showed themselves grateful, but refused the gift.   Why do we have women and slaves? , they asked, almost in anger.  They should carry on working in the fields as they have up to now. The oxen should enjoy their freedom until some kind of family or popular festival, a funeral ceremony or a dance, means that they suffer the death penalty.

description: Note: Vermutlich Reproduktion eines älteren Photopositivs. - "Eingeborne Wohnungen. Die Herren der Versuchsstation brauchen selbstredend für ihre grosse Arbeit die Hilfe der Eingeborenen. Vornehme Herren und Häuptllinge verpflichten sich gegen ein Entgelt eine gewisse Anzahl ihrer Sklaven als Landarbeiter auf die landwirtschaftliche Station zu schicken. Die Sklaven gehen gewöhnlich gerne als Arbeiter auf die europäische Ansiedlung, denn die Bezahlung ist gut und die Behandlung gewöhnlich besser, als im Gehöfte des Herrn. - Arbeitsfähige Männer, die jeweilen im April ihre 6 Mark Steuern nicht bezahlen können, werden auch auf die Versuchsstation befohlen und müssen da durch harte Arbeit ihre Steuer abverdienen. Gewöhnlich arbeiten sie für die nichtbezahlte Abgabe einen Monat. Die Arbeiter wohnen in Kuti in einem besonderen 'Dorf', das mitten unter rauschenden Palmen steht und nicht allzu fern von den Arbeitsplätzen und von den Wohnungen der Europäer entfernt ist." (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6).; Note translation: Probably reproduction of older vintage print. -  "Native housing.  The gentlemen of the research station need the help of natives in their great work, of course. Distinguished native gentlemen and chiefs commit themselves against payment to assign some of their slaves as workers on this agricultural station.  The slaves in their turn usually go very happily to work in a European settlement, for they are paid more and the treatment they receive is usually better than in the compound of their masters.  - Men capable of work but not able to pay their poll-tax of DM 6 in April each year are sent to this station too and have to work hard to earn their tax. They are usually expected to work for one month to to cover the tax they have not been able to pay in cash.  The workers live in a special 'village' in Kuti among whispering palms, not too far from their work and the houses of the Europeans."

description: Note: Vermutlich Reproduktion eines älteren Photopositivs. - "Europäer Wohnungen. Kuti, die landwirtschftliche Versuchsstation, liegt etwa 12 km südwestlich von Fumban und ist im Jahre 1911 von deutschen Regierungsbeamten angelegt worden. Klein und beinahe dürftig waren die Anfänge, aber schnell entwickelte sicih die Ansiedlung zu ungeahnter Grösse und schönster Blüte. Haus um Haus entstand in rascher Folge auf dem grossen Komplex und zwischen den weissgetünchten Häusern liegen schön angelegte, grosse Farmen. Zweck dieser Station ist, zu versuchen, was von Feldfrüchten und anderen Nutzpflanzen im Grasland von Kamerun am besten gedeiht und am ertragreichsten sich ausreift. Nach langem Studieren und Probieren ist dem Mais und der Baumwolle der Preis zugefallen und diese beiden Pflanzen sind nun in Kuti besonders gehegt und gepflegt und auf unabsehbaren Äckern zu finden." (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6).; Note translation: Probably reproduction of older vintage print. -  "European houses.  Kuti is an Agricultural Research Station about 12 Km south-west of Fumban which was started by Government officials in 1911.  It began small but quickly developed into an unexpectedly large settlement, a fine place. House by house it was quickly built up into a large complex, and between each whitewashed building there are large well-organised agricultural plots. The object of the station is to experiment to see which useful plants grow best in the Grasslands of Cameroon and ripen to produce the best results. After a long period of study [sic] maize and cotton have been declared 'the winners'. In Kuti you now find these two crops being especially carefully cultivated in huge fields."  (A.

description: Note: "Stadttor. Der schönste Weg in Bamum ist die 'Schlossallee'. Zu beiden Seiten der breiten Strasse stehen uralte Baumriesen. Und schlanke Schlinggewächse ersticken in ihren Umarmungen manche Bananenstaude. Mitten über den Weg ist das Tor 'Mfa' gebaut. Natürlich ist die Bauart dieses Tores keine solide, dass es eindringende Feinde aufhalten könnte. Es ist eine armselige Hütte aus Palmrippen und hat nur den Zweck zu zeigen, dass man in die Nähe des Häuptlingshofes kommt. Fremdlinge werden hier vom alten Torwart aufgehalten und zum Häuptling geführt. In der Schlossallee hat sich schon manches Drama abgespielt und unter dem Tor aus Palmenrippen wurde vor Jahren eine Häuptlingsfrau, die fliehen wollte, von den königlichen Hofwächtern enthauptet. In den tiefherabhängenden Ästen der alten Bäume haben sich beim letzten Tronwechsel vor ungefähr 30 Jahren 70 Häuptlingsfrauen erhängt, nur damit ihr Gemahl, der im Krieg umgekommen war, im Totenreich nicht frauenlos sein müsse. So könnten wohl die alten Baumriesen und das Tor Mfa viel erzählen von alten Zeiten, von schrecklichen Kriegen und von gausamem Heidentum." (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6).; Note translation: "The most beautiful streeet in Bamum is "Castle Street".  Ancient trees line it on both sides. And creeping plants are strangling many banana plants. The gate 'Nfa' has been built over this street. Of course the architecture is not solid enough to keep enemies from forcing their way in. It is simply a poor hut made of the ribs of palm trees, and its function is to make it clear that you are arriving in the vicinity of the chief's compound.  Strangers are halted by Gate-Keeper and conducted by him to the chief.  Many dramatic events have taken place in Castle Street.  Years ago a chief's wife, who wanted to flee away, was beheaded by the court guards under the arch of palm-ribs. Seventy chief's wives hung themselves on the lower branches of these trees thirty years ago, when their husband died in a war. They wanted to be sure he would not live without wives in the land of the dead.  The ancient trees and the Mfa Gate could tell many stories of the old days, of terrrible wars and cruel heathenism."
