Africans Benefit
By Colonial
Food Output

Important by-products of Euro
pean expansion Of food production
in Africa and other colonial areas
will be improved living conditions,
better diets, and increased health
and educational facilities for the
native populations, says the March
issue of Foreign Agriculture, a U. S.
Department of Agriculture publica-
ton.
The British, Belgians, French, and
the Netherlanders are planning in
creased agricultural production in
their colonial territories, according
OF the publication. Commodities to
be emphasized will be vegetable
| oils, rice, and cocoa However, in
some areas fruits, vegetables, dairy
and other livestock products will
be included in the program.
Expansion of agricultural pro-
duction will require the clearance
and drainage of millions of acres.
From the point of view of the ma
tive population, this will mean the
removal of the breeding places and
natural habitats of many disease
carrying insects and other pests,
including the tsetse fly which is
a carrier of sleeping sickness.
In addition to creating more heal
thful surroundings, increased ag-
ricultural production will bring
with it an improved domestic wa
ter supply, irrigation, electric pow
er, transportation and processing
facilities. These will serve to in
crease the income of both workers
and producers, it is pointed out.
| The British agricultural program
calls for larger production of CO.
Goa, wheat, rice, soybeans and pea
nuts, says the USDA publication.
In East and Central Africa, Great
| Britain plans to plant 1,605,0 900 acr-
les of peanuts by 1852. The plan
emissions the establishment of 107
mechanical peanut farms of 10000
acres each. The peanuts are to be
used as an additional source of fats
and oils.

Office of Education and the General
Education Board, while DR.. Easom

ing the farm. DR.. Stewart whose
major field is Agriculture, was very

Dairy, Poultry Farm, Cannin Shop,
and the Hog Farm.
In the afternoon session a con-
ference was held withe the director
of Agriculture ant the personnel OF
that department. DR.. Stewart led the
discussion in which he brought out

gram. The question of scholarships

with much interest being manifcs-
ted by the group. After the general
conference was ended, DR.. Stewart
also held some individual confer
ences with persons interested in
the work.
