is scattered. For coffee, the Brazilian publications, 

 e.g., Boletim de Agricultura, Sao Paulo, may be usefully 

 consulted, also the Surinam and Jamaican and Porto 

 Rican agricultural literature. The Planters' Chronicle of 

 Southern India generally has several pages devoted to 

 experimental work connected with coffee. 



Important literature on tobacco growing is to be found 

 in the American and Indian official publications, par- 

 ticularly the Bulletin of the Ohio Experiment Station and 

 the Memoirs of the Department of Agriculture in India. 

 Almost all the general agricultural journals referred to

 Nyasaland Reports contain interesting information con-
