METEOROLOGY AND ITS RELATION TO FOOD SUPPLY.
Rainfall in Ajmer.
1. During the year under report the rainfall of Ajmer was 15.50 inches
against 13.87 inches in 1912, the average
for the previous six years being 20.12
inches. Owing to the scanty monsoon rainfall, tanks and wells were practically
empty. In December, however, 2.34 inches of rain fell, which materially
improved the position as regards Ajmer City.
Rainfall in Native States.
2. In almost all the Native States the rainfall recorded was below the
average except in Mewar where it was
excessive; both the Khariff and Rabi
crops suffered and scarcity of fodder prevailed in most of the Native States.
VITAL STATISTICS, BIRTHS AND DEATHS.
Births in Ajmer-Merwara.
3. According to the birth returns 21,656 births were registered in Ajmer-
Merwara in 1913 against 23,609 in 1912,
a decrease of 1,953.
4. Of the total births registered 11,368 were males and 10,288 females.
The birth rate was 43.19 per mille of population against 47.08 per mille in the
previous year. The percentage of male to female births was 110.50 as com-
pared with 110.92 in 1912.
5. The recorded birth rate within the Ajmer Municipality, 19.5, shows how
poorly birth registration is carried out.
Deaths in Ajmer-Merwara.
6. During the year there were 12,960 deaths registered in this division
against 19,178 in 1912, a decrease of
6,218 which is attributed to the absence
of plague and malaria. The death rate per mille of population was 25.85
against 38.25 in the previous year.
7. The mortality among children under five years of age was 54 per cent.
of the total deaths against 61 per cent. in 1912. The reported deaths from
small-pox was 20 against 3,050 in the previous year.
8. Deaths from fevers also show a decrease of 3,040 as compared with
1912.
