APPENDIX A.
Report of the Veterinary Department, Surma Valley Branch, Indian Tea Association, 1909-1910.
Government having reduced its grant to Rs. 6,000, it was necessary to curtail expenditure. It
was decided therefore that Mr. McCaldron should draw a salary of Rs. 600 with travelling allowance,
private practice outside his official duties being permitted to him and that each of the Local Boards
should be asked to defray the cost of its own Veterinary Assistant.
The following general Rules were laid down:—
(1) The Veterinary Officer should visit the following places on certain fixed dates, namely: —
Karimganj—on the 7th and 8th of each month. Srimangal and Shamshernagar—on 9th
and 10th of each month (these two stations to be visited on these dates on alternate
months). Saistaganj—on 11th and 12th of each month. He should also tour in North
Sylhet district three times a year, and in Sunamganj and Hailakandi districts not less
than twice a year.
(2) The Veterinary Officer will, as at present, continue to attend serious outbreaks, wherever
occurring. In case of an outbreak of disease elsewhere, preventing him from visiting any
of the abovementioned stations on the fixed dates, he will inform the Secretary, Surma
Valley Branch, Indian Tea Association, who will notify the Chairman of the Local Boards,
and Chairman of the District Committees concerned, and inform them on what postponed
dates the Veterinary Officer will attend.
(3) The Veterinary Officer, in consultation with the Chairman of the Local Boards, may
depute temporarily the Veterinary Assistants from one subdivision to another, as may be
necessary to cope with any serious outbreak of disease that may occur.
The travelling expenses, etc., of such Veterinary Assistants for the period of deputation will be
paid by the Surma Valley Branch, Indian Tea Association, from the Veterinary Funds.
Mr. McCaldron and the Veterinary Assistants working under him appear to have given entire
satisfaction up to the end of October. Mr. McCaldron unfortunately died early in November. The
Secretary of the Branch thereupon, took over control of the Veterinary operations until the end of
December, when the supervision of the Veterinary Assistants was made over to the Chairmen of the
Local Boards. This arrangement continued until the end of March 1910, when the present scheme
terminated.
N. B.—Mr. McCaldron unfortunately took away the diaries containing details of his own touring, so no description of this
can be
givan.

Secretary, Surma Valley Branch, Indian Tea Association

Printing Office: (Agri.) No. 31—1,650—30-8-1910—A. E. R.

assistants should go out to search for patients and press their services upon the-
villagers instead of waiting passively for animals to he brought to them. The rates of
travelling allowances for itinerant officers have now been revised within the limits,
sanctioned by the Government of India with a view to encourage touring and penalise
inactivity, and the Superintendent should note the results of this measure in his next
report.
5. The improvement of the breed of cattle is a question which is at present
engaging the attention of the Local Government, but there are many difficulties to be
overcome. The indigenous stock is poor, the supply of fodder is often unsuitable and
deficient, immature and weakly bulls are allowed to cover the herd and no attempt is
made to select the best cows for breeding. During the year there was some increase
in the number of stud bulls maintained from public funds, but their number is still
so small that they can have little practical effect. The reservation of grazing grounds
in localities where it is still possible to do so is now under consideration- and a scheme
has been put forward for the establishment of herds of good stock in suitable localities
but no real improvement will he possible unless the co-operation of the cultivators is
obtained and some attempt is made to breed only from the best strains and to supply
the young stock with sufficient nourishment. The Lieutenant-Governor is glad to
learn that attempts are being made to improve the breed of sheep in the Khasi Hills
by the introduction of the dumba strain.
6. The thanks of Government are due to Mr. Harris for the zeal and ability
displayed in the administration of his Department throughout the year and to
Mr. Strong for the intelligent supervision exercised by him.
ORDERED that a copy of this Resolution be published in the Government Gazette
for general information.
ORDERED also that a copy of this Resolution be forwarded to the Director of
Agriculture, Eastern Bengal and Assam, for information.
By order, etc.,
