THE TITLE OF MY TALK Kenya's Agricultural Planning is a bit misleading. I propose mainly to concentrate on one aspect of planning in the African areas but I will first give you a brief overall picture of agriculture in Kenya. I will talk for about twenty minutes and then put on some slides to give you a visual indication of what we are doing and what we are aiming at agriculturally. Kenya can be divided very broadly into four main areas. The area tucked down in the South-West quarter of this map is, agriculturally, virtually the whole of Kenya, about one-quarter to one-third of Kenya. Within the red line there, the area lies above an altitude of 4,000 feet and has a rainfall rising from 25 to 70 inches. The remainder of Kenya, about 150,000 square miles, is semi-arid pastoral land running 200 miles between the coast and the 4,000 foot contour, right up to the Northern Province and then across to Uganda. Rainfall is under 20 inches on the whole; in parts of the Northern Province under 10 inches. So there are our divisions. The main human population is concentrated down in the south-west quarter, the African Highlands; the main livestock population in the semi-arid pastoral areas, including the Kamba tribe and the Masai tribe down in the south. Then there are the coastal areas, the European Highlands and the big national forest reserves. I am not going to touch on European farming other than to say that a plan was drawn up for European settlement at the beginning of this century, and that that plan, which is still going on, has been most successful from the point of view of Kenya, providing its main economic strength at the present time. When the Uganda Line was put in there were to be 600 miles of unproductive railway line before it reached Uganda. To overcome this, the second Commissioner for East Africa, Sir Charles Eliot, and Lord Delamere, planned the settlement of what are now the European Highlands, and that planned settlement has gone on to this day. I think it can be said of the European settlement plan- Born 1900, still going strong. Before the war, and during it, all the African colonies were extremely short of staff and technical knowledge, due partly to the period of depression followed immediately by war, when staff could not be increased. Towards the end of the war a ten-year development plan, 1946 to 1955, was drawn up for Kenya which, on the agricultural side, covered two main aspects-research and land conservation. It could be summed up in these words : research, to
