Cotton was first introduced into Uganda by K. Borup, an industrial missionary

History on the cotton in Uganda …. A view looking along a cotton ginning plant with Ugandans at work at the machines which separate the cotton from the seeds. Cotton was first introduced into Uganda by K. Borup, an industrial missionary, who in 1903 distributed 62 bags of cotton seeds for planting. The Uganda Cotton Company, with Borup as manager, was founded in 1904. By the time of the Uganda Agricultural Exhibition in 1908 cotton output was estimated by the Governor to be worth UKP50,000 and was the major exhibit. By the time Sir Albert Cook wrote ‘Uganda Memories’ cotton output was second only to India in the Empire and it maintained this position until recent years.

Here are the trends for the cotton industry in Uganda from 1924 to 2004. Look at details here: http://www.worldbank.org/afr/wps/WPS_123_Uganda_Cotton_Case_Study.pdf. Below are the trends in the cotton industry in Uganda

3.’The Kabaka in the uniform of a Captain in the Grenadier Guards. He underwent military training during his stay in Britain, where he studied at Magdalene College, Cambridge.’
he inimitable Sir Edward, whose academic and military accomplishments made even the academically accomplished Milton Obote uncomfortable and, eventually, unwilling to share power with him. Yet Sir Edward made his mark on the world. At Magdalene College, he won the highest marks for shooting, winning the cup for the college. His book, Desecration of My Kingdom, is a notable contribution to Uganda’s history.

4.’The Nasolo, Princess Dorothy, with her mother, the Nabagereka, after their meeting at Entebbe Airport on the Nsolo’s return from London a few months ago. SHe had been undergoing treatment at the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital for the after-effects of poliomyelitis.’.Yes indeed, she grew up to became a friend to many and held her family together

1.’At his home in London, a flat in Eaton Place, the Kabaka studies a copy of the new Buganda Agreement. at Mengo, he will sign this Agreement with the Governor of Uganda, Sir Andrew Cohen.’. The Buganda Agreement, 1955 can be read on the folowing link: http://www.wdl.org/en/item/7775/

2.the late Mr. Mackay Kalula MUKASA (brother to the late Mrs Rebecca Allen Namugenze MULIRA)

3. Ssekabaka Sir Edward Muteesa II.Perhaps the most dashingly handsome King of Buganda Kingdom;who ever lived;he was light years ahead of his time,few folks both from within the Kingdom and outside;quite understood his love and vision and the direction;he passionately wanted his nation to take.Modern and well educated and well decorated army officer trained by the British;he read through the glaring hypocrises of the Imperial England,he was humiliated by deportations in 1953 to England for being part and parcel of Independence agitators as his people led the nation in calling for independence and self rule.I hope history will be compassionate towards him.

Sir Harry Johnston signed the 1900 Buganda agreement’

1.’Harry Johnston signed the 1900 Buganda agreement’. An exceptional man! He was, among other things, astonished by the reaction of Africans to the technology of the day, such as a Gramophone. His writing is a very important contribution to our understanding of our past and helps us not to take things for granted. No man loved Uganda more!

2.On the back of this photograph there is a stamp of Amin Administration, a pencil caption that is hard to read and a caption written in pen saying ‘Allocation of businesses by Mr. Justus Byagagaire’. When googling him you find a confirmation that he was a minister under Amin and also that he was shot by soldiers, May 1977 in Mbarara.Justus Byagagaire was one of Uganda’s most precious human capital. He became an agricultural expert before Uganda was an independent country and a formidable Permanent Secretary before Amin came to power. His work under Idi Amin was just sheer abuse of the heart and mind of a good man who could not have hurt a soul.

KABAKA DAUDI CHWA
