TextOut in the Tanganyika bush, men and machines hack their difficult way to clear vast plantations for the growing of groundnuts - to swell the world's fat ration. Cameraman Geo. Rodger toured the Southern Province and sends a picture story of early frustration and blunder. Much is now being done to change the bewildering scene after a haphazard start. Here, Illustrated presents a Progress Report on the 25,000,000 pound scheme.
