Report of the Civil Veterinary Department North-West Frontier Province for the year 1914-15

1915

The onerous nature of the dual charge of the North Punjab and this Province has long been recognized and in view of the difficulties of the position, the Chief Commissioner considers it creditable that in addition to the other work 'recorded in his report he was able to devote three and a half months to touring in the Province and to inspect all the Veterinary hospitals and the offices of the Itin [...] Defects have been brought to notice in the present organization of the staff, which are chiefly 'connected with the unpopularity of the itinerating system and the inability of Veterinary Inspectors to manage their charges owing to the extent of the latter. [...] The outbreaks of Glanders in Peshawar and the prevalence of Hemorrhagic Septicemia have called for the adoption of special measures to stimulate the co-operation of the people in reporting cases of disease and to check the spread of infection and these measures will shortly be introduced. [...] The system of giving prize money continued and though the argument has been advanced that the main business at shows and fairs is trade and that the result achieved by the distribu- tion of prizes is scarcely worth the expenditure, the Chief Commissioner is inclined to think that the competition between exhibitors adds to the interest and popularity of shows and fairs and attracts the public. [...] The desirability of securing the undivided attention of the Superintending Officer has been prominently in view of late owing to the expansion of the Department in many directions in which there is scope for the activities of the European head.
