LOCUSTS IN KENYA
DEALING WITH THE PEST (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, Nov. 19. Mr Ormsby Gore made a statement in the House of Representatives regarding the recent locust plague in Kenya Colony. He said that steps were taken by the autlurities to deal with the plague and an expenditure amounting to £6500 was sanctioned for the anti-locust campaign, which was vigorously prosecuted by the Department of Agriculture of the Government of Kenya. He agreed with Dr. Fuller, who had had many years’ experience of locust work, that some permanent organisation was desirable for dealing with the movement of locust swarms, and this would be considered in connection with next year’s estimates.
