E CONOMICALLY Northern Rhodesia falls into two main divisions, North-Eastern and North-Western. In North-Western Rhodesia white settlement consists of an irregular belt of farms, chiefly maize and cattle, extending up to thirty miles on either side of the railway line which provides access to the sea at two Portuguese ports Beira and Lobito Bay, on the east and west coasts of Africa respectively, and southwards gives connection with the Union of South Africa. Beyond this belt of farms there live missionaries and traders, together with a few isolated ranchers; a few lumbermen are to be found along the river courses. The white population of North-Eastern Rhodesia is considerably less in number and is disposed in two groups. In the south, a colony of tobacco planters centers around Fort Jameson; the nearest railhead is at Blantyre in Nyasaland, some three hundred miles away. To the north, in the neighborhood of Abercorn, there is a smaller group of settlers engaged in coffee planting; these have an outlet to the sea via Lake Tanganyika and Dar-esSalaam
