     CHAPTER I.—General Administration.

Director, Veterinary
Services, Punjab.

1.    Mr. W. Taylor, Principal, Punjab Veterinary
College, Lahore, officiated as Director
during my absence on 8 months'
home leave ending November 13th,
1929.

2.    Both Mr. Taylor and I carried out inspection
tours of certain districts, as well as attending most of
the important cattle fairs where special propaganda
work was being conducted by the staff of the depart-
ment.

I inspected, on different occasions during the year,
the Hissar Cattle Farm, as well as the grantee farms.
I also visited Rakh Jabhowal near Chakwal, Jhelum
District, in connection with the establishment of a
Dhanni cattle-breeding farm, preliminary arrangements
for which are now in progress. I paid a special visit to
the Kue-ki-Bahawal Zail of the Montgomery District
for the starting of a Montgomery cattle improvement
scheme under which 23 Montgomery bulls bred on the
Jehangirabad Cattle Farm have been distributed in
selected villages.

I also toured in the Hariana, Dhanni and Malwa
cattle-breeding tracts to examine the progress of the
Department's live stock improvement schemes for these
areas.

3. As a member of the Advisory Board, I attended
the meeting of the Imperial Council of Agricultural
Research at Pusa in December 1929.
