^The iuCiease in the amount granted under Act XII of 188-1 was practically confined to
Gujarat, the Deccan and Sind. Loans were largely required to replace the losses of cattle
due to past years of scarcity. The expansion of cultivation which attended a more favourable
year also necessitated an increase in agricultural stock. In Karachi tagavi was given in order
to relieve the distress caused by losses of crops and damage to property by floods. Elsewhere
in bind the good inundation tended to encourage the purchase of seed and cattle in order to
extend^ cultivation. In the Konkan, however, the favourable season resulted in a reduced
demana for loans. Generally there is evidence that the Deccan Agriculturists’ Relief Act
and the system of restricted tenure by reducing the credit obtainable with savkars are favouring
an increased resort to tasravi.
o
6.—Agricultural Stock.
The figures of the last quinquennial census of agricultural stock were given in the report
tor the year 1905-1906. The following census, however, has been anticipated under the orders
o Government, and further statistics will therefore appear in the next annual report. During
ojear under review rinderpest, which had been severe during the two previous years, showed
a considerable abatement and the reported deaths from this disease numbered less than 5,000
against 20,000 durin r the year 1907-1908. Kanara was again the most affected district;,
roach stan ling next on the list, while "last Khandesh, Nasik, Nagar, Ratuagiri and Surat
