CHAPTER I
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
1. Mr. T. S. Davies officiated as Director, Veterinary Services
and held charge of the department up to the 10th November, 1937.
I returned from leave out of India on that date and took over charge
on the 11th November, 1937, which I held till the end of the year.
2. Mr. Davies remained on tour for 132 days visiting 20 veterinary
hospitals and dispensaries and 2 stallion stands in 11 districts. He
visited Simla in May, 1937, to attend the All-India Cattle Confer-
ence and in June, 1937, he visited the Imperial Institute of Veteri-
nary Research at Mukteswar. In September, 1937, he visited
Bombay and Poona for the purchase of stallions for the department.
On the 2nd November, 1937, he convened a meeting consisting of
the District Magistrate, Superintendent of Police, Executive Officers
of Municipal and Cantonment Boards of Cawnpore and the Superin-
tendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Lucknow, at the residence
of the District Magistrate in connexion with the suppression of a
serious outbreak of glanders in the city.
3. I toured for 85 days visiting 17 districts, inspecting 42 veteri-
nary hospitals and dispensaries and 5 stallion stands. I organized
and attended as judge one-day horse shows in 4 different districts
of the province. I visited Etawah District to study and report on
the position of the Jumnapari goats in the trans-Jumna tract. I
visited the Budhpura Forest Block in the Jalaun District with a view
to starting a sheep farm. in that area, special reports on both these
problems have been submitted to Government. I attended the All-
India Cattle Show and the Imperial Horse Show at Delhi where I
acted as a judge. I attended meetings of the Advisory Board of the
Imperial Council of Agricultural Research at Delhi in February and
March, 1938, respectively.
