ABSTRACT

Practically the whole of this wealth is represented by agricultural production. In recent years quite half the new appointments were new ones, i.e. were demanded by the increase of sta and not for replacements. Looking to the future the main increases are likely to be in the Agricultural, Veterinary and Education Departments as the principal e ort on which we are now engaged is the application of science to the development of the potential resources of the Tropics. So far from this period of expansion showing any signs of ending I think it is only just beginning.
