Item Centre for Overseas Pest Research(I C I P E, 1961-1962) Johnstone, D.R.; Overseas Development AdministrationIn keeping with the general policy of streamlining Government Departments and in order to strengthen and improve certain aspects of British aid to agricultural research and development overseas it has been decided that certain scientific units of the Overseas Development administration, which are primarily engaged in the entomological fields, should be merged into a single organisation. The units involved are the Anti-Locust Hese8lch Centre, the Tropical Pesticides Research Unit, the Tropical Pesticide, Research Head quarters and Information Unit and the Termite Research Unit.Item Rice-Growing In Central KaVirondo(Taylor & Francis, November 1939) Gamble, G.; Department of Agriculture, Kenya ColonyRice was first introduced into Central Kavirondo by an officer of the Administration in the early days of the Colony and before the Department of Agriculture existed as it does to-day. Small areas along the Lake shore (Kavirondo Gulf, Lake Victoria) in the Nyakatch location were planted and fairly good results obtained, but unfortunately the growing of this crop was discontinued before any real progress had been made. The original seed was lost and the lake-shore areas were allowed to revert to papyrus. In the year 1934 rice was again tried in Nyakatch. On this occasion the Sen a variety was planted, and the excellent results obtained justified opening up the area for rice-growing.
