eventually, lord delamere decided to grow wheat. this, too, was plagued by disease, specifically rust (fungus). by 1909, delamere was out of money, resting his last hopes on a wheat crop that eventually failed. he was quoted by author elspeth huxley as commenting drily, 'i started to grow wheat in east africa to prove that though i lived on the equator, i was not in an equatorial country.' delamere eventually created a 'wheat laboratory' on his farm, employing scientists to manufacture hardy wheat varieties for the kenyan highlands. to supplement his income, he even tried raising ostriches for their feathers, importing incubators from europe; this venture also failed with the advent of the motor car and the decline in fashion of feathered hats. delamere was the first european to start a maize farm, florida farm, in the rongai valley, and established the first flour mill in kenya. by 1914, his efforts finally began to generate a profit.
