The present agricultural depression and the consequent
paucity of funds are naturally retarding progress. Local
bodies are doing their utmost, but, nevertheless, it is extremely
difficult for them to provide money as liberally as previously.
However, in spite of adverse circumstances the work has been
carried on satisfactorily. There were 126 District Board
and 175 subsidy bulls at the end of the year under report, as
compared with 124 and 101 such bulls at the end of the pre-
vious year.
The Department is steadily pursuing its policy of concen-
trating its attention on those areas best suited to cattle breed-
ing where nuclei of the indigenous breeds are found to
flourish.

30. The above scheme started two years ago, was further
extended during the year under report in Montgomery Dis-
trict. Several villages were supplied with approved Mont-
gomery bulls free of cost. The progeny of the bulls previously
located was seen by the Live Stock Officer. The results are
encouraging.
