Egg plants success in Mvara
Roy Stephen Muto, teacher of agriculture at Mvara Secondary School in Arua, Uganda, wrote in to 'thank you very much for the good agricultural books you have been mailing me. I also want to say thank you for Spore. With all this literature, my agricultural knowledge has increased tremendously! I wish to give you a report on a vegetable growing project we carried out in our school this year. We the Senior One and Senior Three classes grew egg plants (variety: Black beauty) on an area of 50m by 15m (750 m2). The total harvest was 1,150 kg (1.15 tonne). The main market supplied was our school (648 kg) and we also supplied two other schools in Muni and Arua, plus the teachers college in Muni. The total amount earned from sales was 323,450 Ugandan shillings, or about US$ 161.80. The whole school population was excited about the good yield, and we hope to do much more in 2001.'
