REVIEW BY THE DIRECTOR OF AGRICULTURE.
Below letter No. 4704, dated 27th June 1916, from the Superintendent, Civil
Veterinary Department, Bombay Presidency, Poona, to the Under Secre-
tary to Government, Revenue Department.
No. 7585 of 1916.
Poona, 28th July 1916.
Forwarded with compliments.
2. Cattle disease.—The feature of the year was the widespread prevalence
of rinderpest resulting in a reported mortality of 13,000 cases. To meet this
an emergency corps of Veterinary Assistants was organised, a large number of
outbreaks were attended and 79,000 inoculations performed. This is much the
largest number ever done in a single year in this Presidency, and the result
appears to have been successful though it is very difficult to appraise the results
accurately. In this work we must aim at concentration on the areas which
contain the best-bred and best-tended cattle.
Inoculation against Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia, which was commenced
last year, was extended during the year under report, with good results.
3. Cattle breeding.—It is only in the northern extremity of the
Presidency that we are yet in a position to do anything appreciable for cattle
breeding. Here the Chharodi Farm enables us to supply bulls to the Kankreji
breeders. The shortness of the fodder supply in Gujarát during the past year
made progress in this tract impossible; and apart from this temporary cause
it is unfortunate that the greater part of the Kankreji breeding takes place
outside the limits of this Presidency and that the wandering Rabaris who form
the bulk of the breeders are difficult people to assist. We must be prepared
in time to develop an organisation that will enable us to assist cattle breeding
in the other notable tracts, viz.,—West Khándesh for Tapti Khillaris, parts of
Sholápur and Sátára for Mháswad Khillaris, parts of Sátára and Belgaum for
Krishna Valleys, and parts of Dhárwár for Mysore cattle. Proposals will shortly
be submitted for organising breeding in the Mháswad Khillari tract, and they
will include the provision of a bull breeding farm and the later creation of a
fodder reserve.
4. The Dispensaries.—Owing to financial stringency only one new
dispensary was opened during the year, but the number of animals treated
shows a substantial increase, in spite of the fact that much time was taken up
in dealing with outbreaks of rinderpest. The work at the dispensaries is develop-
ing satisfactorily.
5. The activities of the Department were restricted in accordance with
financial necessities, and the recent deputation of eight members in the staff
on Military duties will cause some dislocation, but the work achieved was
satisfactory and the Department is progressing under Major Walker's careful
superintendence.

No. G.-336 OF 1916.
GENERAL DEPARTMENT,
Office of the Commissioner in Sind,
Government House, Karáchi, 27th July 1916.
MEMORANDUM.
The Commissioner in Sind has the honour to submit the report of the
Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Sind, Baluchistan and
Rajputana, on the working of the Veterinary Department in Sind during the
year 1915-1916.
Charges.
2. Mr. J. G. Cattell held charge of the office of Superintendent for nearly
the whole of the year upto the 12th March 1916,
when he proceeded on short leave owing to ill-health
and Khan Sahib S. G. Haji acted for him. Mr. E. S. Farbrother worked as
attached officer under training upto the 13th July 1915, when he joined the
Indian Army Reserve of Officers. Khan Sahib Haji held the post of Deputy
Superintendent for Sind throughout the year.
Tours of Officers.
3. The Superintendent's tour by road in Sind was not as extensive as in
the previous year. In 1913-1914, when the Superin-
tendent travelled 454 miles by road, the Commissioner
remarked that more systematic road tours were essential in order to get into
closer touch with stock-breeders and agriculturists. In 1914-15, there was a
marked improvement when Messrs. Cattell and Farbrother between them,
during the period that they respectively held the office of Superintendent,
travelled 732 miles by road in Sind. In 1915-16, the Superintendent toured for
94 days only in Sind and travelled 459 miles by road. Mr. Cattell's illness
towards the end of the year, his journey to Pusa to attend the Agricultural
Conference and the visit to the Hissar Farm which together occupied sixteen
days, and the week spent at Karáchi in January in connection with the arrange-
ment at the Cattle-show, curtailed the extent of his Sind tour. Mr. Farbrother
toured in Baluchistan only. The Deputy Superintendent, whose tour was as
usual confined to Sind, travelled extensively by road in spite of several
interruptions.
The statistics indicate the good results attending the systematic monthly
tours which veterinary assistants are now required to make in pursuance of the
remarks made by the Commissioner on this point in his review of the work of
the Department in the year 1913-1914.
Sindhi scholarship-holders at
the Bombay Veterinary College.
4. Of the six stipendiary Sindhi students studying at the Bombay
Veterinary College, one of the two last year students
passed the final examination in December 1915 and
the other in April 1916. Both of them have been
appointed Veterinary Assistants in Sind. Two more students were sent to the
college from Sind. Of the six Sindhi students now studying in the College, four
are Mahomedans and two Hindus. Officers are required for two dispensaries,
one at Matli, where premises were constructed last year, and the other at Nawab-
shah, where the dispensary was located in a hired building. These posts will be
available for the two last year students who are expected to pass the final
examination next December.
Dispensaries.
5. The fulfilment of the programme for the construction of dispensaries
outlined in the scheme sanctioned in Government
Resolution, Financial Department, No. 1879, dated
N 32—11a
45
Larkana, Sukkur and Upper Sind Frontier are concerting schemes for the
maintenance of Arab stallions with the object of breeding an improved type
of pony from unbranded Sindhi mares. It is hoped thus to raise to the Army
Remount Department standard the numerous Sindhi mares which now fall
below it and to provide a larger number of mares suitable for branding and
covering by Imperial Stallions. The proposals have already been approved in
the case of the Larkana District in Government Resolution, Revenue Depart-
ment, No. 59, dated the 4th January 1916.
General.
11. The work of the Department naturally falls into two main divisions,
viz., internal working and organization and practical
activity in the prevention and suppression of disease.
The Department in Sind is still in the development stage ; satisfactory progress
has already been made, but the arrangement under which three provinces
comprising a vast area are placed under the supervision of a single Superin-
tendent cannot be continued indefinitely; extensive railway journeys involve a
waste of energy and are expensive. The practical results of the year's work
may be regarded as satisfactory on the whole. Measures have been taken to
secure prompt reports by the public and local officials of the outbreak of
disease, and the efficacy of inoculation in saving cattle is beginning to be
recognised in the countryside.
