Abstract
MR. G. V. JACKS, in his review, published in Nature of December 24, 1949, of the first annual report of the Overseas Food Corporation, considers that, as disappointing as the beginning of the East African Groundnut Scheme has been, it could be considered a good one “had the scheme been laid down on a more moderate scale and carried out less extravagantly”. May I be permitted to comment on this and to refer also to an editorial comment on the subject in Nature of December 31.
