Abstract

A SCIENTIFIC mission from East Africa is at present on a short visit to the United States to study the methods employed by the Tennessee Valley Authority in the manufacture of fertilizers. Large deposits of rock phosphates are known to exist in Uganda, and it is expected that the knowledge gained from this visit can be applied to the exploitation of these deposits when hydro-electric power becomes available from the Owen Falls scheme. The members of the mission are : Dr. A. J. V. Underwood, industrial consultant in London to the East Africa High Commission ; Mr. H. B. Stent, acting chairman of the East African Industrial Research Board ; Dr. K. A. Davies, director of the Geological Survey, Uganda ; and Mr. C. R. Westlake, chairman of the Uganda Electricity Board.
