ORDERS OF GOVERNMENT.
No. 1557/XVIII-373.
FROM
THE HON'BLE MR. A. W. PIM,
SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
UNITED PROVINCES,
To
THE DIRECTOR OF LAND RECORDS AND AGRICULTURE,
UNITED PPOVINCES.
DATED NAIKI TAL, THE 23RD AUGUST, 1916.
SIR,
DUSTRIES DEPT.
I AM directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter
no. 1750/XI—865, dated the 7th July, 1916, forwarding the annual report
on the administration of the Civil Veterinary department for the year
ending the 31st March, 1916.
2. The excellent results secured by the Civil Veterinary depart-
ment during the year under review are well brought out in the report,
which indicates alike the widening scope of the department's work and
a growing appreciation of it among the rural population. The outstand-
ing feature is undoubtedly the very considerable decrease in contagious
disease, and in this connection I am to say that the Local Government
has specially noticed your remarks on the subject of the hindrances placed
in the way of the otherwise assured success of inoculation campaigns
by the prejudice of individual villagers against submitting their animals
to prophylactic treatment. The Lieutenant-Governor will be glad to
consider any proposals which you may deem it necessary to formulate for
the introduction of measures to enforce inoculation in particular areas.
Such measures may be a necessary supplement to the scientific work in
progress at the Badshahbagh Experimental Research Station and to the
training in bacteriology now given to veterinary inspectors, while the
growing realization of the value of inoculation holds out a prospect of a
gradual diminution of the opposition. The substantial increase in the
number and popularity of veterinary dispensaries indicates a growing
belief in the benefits of modern veterinary practice, while the recent
rapid expansion of cattle-breeding operations carried on through the
agency of local bodies is another satisfactory and favourable sign.
3. The provincialization under the control of the Superintendent,
Civil Veterinary department, with effect from the 1st April, 1916, of the
entire staff of veterinary assistants employed by district boards cannot
but make for greatly increased efficiency, and it is most unfortunate that
at a time when the new financial contracts between district boards and
the Local Government have opened the way for a wide extension of
veterinary activity, the heavy demands for qualified men occasioned by
the war should have brought recruitment practically to a standstill.
( 2 )
4. In conclusion, I am to say that the Lieutenant-Governor has
noted with pleasure the names of the officers brought to notice in the
concluding paragraph of the report. To Mr. Oliver himself the special
thanks of Government are due alike for his contagious energy and for
the efficient control and supervision exercised by him throughout the
year.
I have the honour to he,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
A. W. PIM,
Secretary,

No. 1656/XI—882.
FROM
THE HON'BLE MR. H. R. C. HAILEY, CLE., I.C.S.,
DIRECTOR OF LAND RECORDS AND AGRICULTURE, UNITED PROVINCES.
To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
UNITED PROVINCES, INDUSTRIES DEPARTMENT, . - NAINI TAL,
Dated Luchnow, the 2nd of July, 1917.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to forward the report on the administration of the
Civil Veterinary department for the year ending the 31st March, 1917.
The year was an unhealthy one and marked by a series of outbreaks of
contagious diseases both among horses and cattle. There was a severe outbreak of
glanders in the eastern districts and surra, which is usually confined to the
foothills, appeared in the Banda district. Steps were taken to destroy the affected
animals. Among cattle, rinderpest was prevalent in most districts, though most
serious in Dehra Dun and Saharanpur. In all 56,619 preventive inoculations were
carried out as compared with 18,661 in the previous year. There is no doubt, as
the Superintendent points out, that the measures taken did much to check the
spread of these diseases, but they imposed a severe strain on the staff of the
department which is now under strength.
The new arrangements made with District Boards greatly facilitated transfer
of Veterinary Assistants to points of danger and their more effective control when
employed on special duty.
2. Now that the value of veterinary hospitals and dispensaries is more
fully appreciated, district boards are co-operating readily with the department
in opening more of those useful institutions. There has been a continued rise in
the number of oases treated at them. The district boards have also, at the
instance of the Superintendent, consented to remit fees for the castration of
inferior sires, as the practice of charging fees was found to be detrimental to the
interests of both horse and cattle-breeding. On behalf of the department I desire
to acknowledge the cordial assistance received in every way from the district
boards.
3. The scheme instituted last year for the issue of bulls from the Govern-
ment farms to district boards, co-operative societies, and landlords is working
satisfactorily and the animals available are readily disposed of. It is hoped that
the scheme will receive further impetus when the second part, viz., the bestowal of
prizes for the best young stock so bred, comes into force. Cattle shows have
proved a failure in these provinces as a means of encouraging Cattle-breeding, the
prizes falling for the most part to animals imported from the Punjab. The two
main obstacles to improvement are the general indifference to the character of
the sire and neglect of the young animals. By offering prizes to the best young
stock bred from selected bulls it is hoped to arouse a more intelligent interest in
the subject.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
H. R. C. HAILEY,
Director.
