A Day of Writing and Study

Lohutok, Sudan

Today, I hung around the house, but got quite a bit done anyway.  I wrote to some friends at Cornell University.  I also read the chapter about Equatoria in Tothill's book, Agriculture in the Sudan.  The cultivation around the skirts of mountains that is practiced here is called "apron cultivation".  Tothill mentions the Lotuka and Taposa tribes.  He writes about the crops that are grown.  The book contains more information than I had anticipated.

Jan (or John?) and Sylvia Wenting stopped by Lohutok today.  They are missionaries with Africa Inland Mission, but work with another tribe.  Jan has hepatitis.  I am glad I got my gamma globulin injections before coming here.
