CHAPTEK I.. CONSTITUTION' OF STATE FORESTS •

. . I.-ALTERATION IN . AREA.. .

[ Yide Appendioes I and IJ .] .... The area of lands under the. control of' the Forest Department increased

during the year under review by 6,487 square miles, thus bringing_ up the aggregate to 240,13~ squar~ mile~ of all classes of forests, representing 2J.•3 ·per cent. of the area of British India. -~

2. The main alterations in the area of each claM ·of State Forests were as· follows :- . · . . . . .

(i) :Reserved and Leased Forests. · . . . , , • , ' ' ,' , • t_ i ~ • ~I ' t •, L :

The area of Reserved Forest~ at~ the commeno('lment of the year &too~, at · 92,485 square miles; additions .and exclwions aggregating .2,941 and 1,389 . square miles, respectively, resulted in ·a net total of 9.&,037 square 'miles at itS close. The most, important oh1m_ges' in the -,evenu provinces i -were as , fol· lows :- . . . . · , · . . ,

, . I .

In the Puf!iaJ 23 aqnare miles were' added (mainly owing to corrections after suney) and 48 square miles were excluded, chiefly by transfer to the Canal and Irrigation Department.

The largest additions were made in .Burmfl. where they totalled 1,79~ square miles. Extensive reservations were accomplished but a part of this total is due to correction of areas by recomputation after survey~ For this reason exclllBions of 751 square miles were also effected. · . . · ·

. In Eaatern Bengal and Allam new reservations and corrections by $Ul'V8Y 'accounted for an increase of 253 square miles, while six miles were excluded. · . , . .

In .Madraa, transfer from Reserved Lands to Reserved Porests accounted for an increase. of 802 square miles, 49 square milrs being excluded. · . · · · ' ,

Areas totalling 2341 sqnara miles were added in JJom!Jay, chiefly in the Southern Circle, and 86 squnre miles were excluded. . . · . · . . · . ' ·

With the exception of an addition of 16 square miles to the Reserved. area in 1Jalaclli1tan, · ·there were no changes of importance in the area of Reserved Forests in other provinces. .

The area of lea&ed forests decreased byll square miles, the total being 899 square miles at the close of th~ year. ·

(ii) Protected. Forests. The area of this class decreased by 550 square miles during the year,

leaving a balance of 9,468 square miles at its close. To the extens~ve ~sfore~o&• ations in the Sunderbans Division of Bengal in favour of culhvat1on may principally be attributed the decrease in area.

2

(iii) Unclassed State Fot·ests antl Pu~lio Foretl Lanrls.

The area at the close of the year 'was 136.633 square miles or 5,496 square miles more than at its commencement. The increase is almost entirely due to rectification of areas in the A.rakan Division of Burma. The area of this class of for~ts is but roughly estimated' and is therefore liable to considerable fluctuation. . It does not always represent wooded area, as, for instance, in Assam, where it comprises· all unoccupied waste.

3. -The area of the different classes of forests under the control of the Department at the end of the last two years is compared in the following tabular stl\tement :-

[ YitlB Appendix IlL ]

·· 4. There was a gratifying increase in this most important work compared with the . previous year's results. The ·area . finally settled rose from 707 to 1,812 square miles, whiie that taken up ·for settlement during the. year was 2;979 against 454 square nwes in 1905~06. The approrlma~e cost of' settlement operations ·was: B25,108. :compared with H29,771 incurred in 1905·06. Of the total area of reserved and protected forests, 4,840 and 3,179 square miles respectively still a~aited settlement at the close of the year. ·The -principal. balances as regards the former cia~ are in the Central Provinces lUld Berar, Madras and ~ombay; and in Be_ngal, Punjab and Bombay as regards the latter.

. j"l B.-DEMARCATION' •

' ( Yid<l A.ppeudix IV.]

• 6. Th~ total le~gtb.' of bo~ndaries, both natural and artificial, increased during the year· from 169,693 to 171,375 miles. The length of artificial boundary demarcated was 143,256 miles, the undemarcated bot.ndary amounting to 11,869 miles a~ainst 12,385 miles at the close of the preceding year. The length of natural boundaries remained unchanged so that_the year's work may berecorded as representing avery slow advance in the important task of demar­cati,ng the State forests. ThE! largest balax:.ce of work outstanding is recorded

. \. . against 13ombag which showed a length of 6,359 m~les uudemarcated, 4,539 of which are in the Central Circle. In the Pu-njafJ there remained 3,555 miles to be demarcated, while Madras and Burma showed br.lances of 889 and 721

·miles respectively. In other provinces the balanc~ to be dealt with were uuimporbnt. New boundary work was completed over 2,611 miles, or 708 miles less than in. the previous year, the cost falling from R44,482 to R33,562. The maintenance of existing boundaries appears also to have ·fallen ·into arrear, 83,026 miles remain1ng unrepaired against 76,705 miles. in 1905-06, the

3 ..

cost of repairs falling from R79,967 to R70,311. It seems probable that an e~er increasing quantity of work in other directions and an undermanned staff have led to theee somewhat unsatisfactory . rrsu1ts, but the dem~rcation of State forests, as one of the initial means of providing for their constitution and protection from encroachment, ·is of the greatest · importance, and particularly so in those provinces where the State forests. occur in small blocks. intimately mixed up with agrioultur_al land, O:t: Where the demands of agriculture are likely to ca~se pressure on the f~rest area. ·

In B~ngal the expenditure on new work fell from R28,415 to R2~,329, wqile tpe cost o~ repairs rose by R3,900 and reached Rl5,554. ·seventy per cent. of the total outlay wa~ incurred in Singhbhum; difficulties in pNcuring l_.bour in Angulled to curtailment of a port1on of the

·of Rl8,978 and repairs over 4,499 miles at a cost of R50,987, the total charges being R69,960 a"'aiust 1153,565 in the previous year ... _ · , · · · · . • · · ·

"' In the Ptmjab new work cost 112~,8741 or about double the amount spent in the previous vear. Rep~irs rose from t~e.comparatively · ilisignificant sum ·of' Ro,lOS to R24,816 and the total from 1119,834 to R53,190, of which R39,207 were spent in,Basbahr, under the arrange· ment by which a. sum of R25,00U is annually set aside for this purpose. . , . · Considerable progress was also 1·ecorded inBr~rma, where 1140,430 were spent on new work compared with R21,32-t in the previous year. Maintenance also rose from R9,700 to BH,216.

,With the 6ve years' proqrammes which. have been drawn np, and the co-operation which the Burma Government demands between district and forest authorities in the construction of roads, good progress should, in future, be' made.

P&·ogress in .Ea~JtertJ Bengal anil .Jasam 'is but slow. The cost of original work was RH,237 compared with R9,277 in the previous year and repairs rose from Rll,002 to Bl4,136, the totalP.xpenditure thus being higher by only about R8,'000 as compared with that

. of the previops year. Much still remains to be performed on communications which, in view of the climate and nature of the country, w~ probably cost more than shnilar work in the majority of other provinces, . .

The Centra& Provincea am1 Berar show a slight rise in the cost of new roads, 169 miles were made at a cost o£ Rl8,132; repairs to .S,lH.4 miles costing Rl9,601 against RlS,497 in the

·previous year. The profit on the Allapilli mono-rail tramway which was rece>rded last year as 21•26 p~r cent. of its capital cost was reported during the year under a·eview to have been nominal, due to work being greatly curtailed, sufficient timber"'onlr being extracted to keep the mills working. · . . ·

In the .Jndamana work was confined to the extension of the steam tramway by about li miles at a cost of RSjl07, maintenunce and repairs costing R5,SOO •.

. .New work in Matlraa. shows a considerable advance, 162 miles of roads and paths were \ completed for R27,612; repairs being exectlted over 598 miles at a c'ost of R31,900, the year's

expenditure aggregating R59,512 compared.with R47,857 in the preceding year. Tramways show, as in previous years, a profit in Nellore and a loss in Coimbatore.

In Bombay the cost of original work feU by over R6,000 to the small total of RlS,lOO, repairs remaining practically stationary at Rl4,98l. AD. almost similar fall was . noticed last

. yearin the cost of new.work and the Bombay Government has, in reviewing the report~ remarked ~n the inadequate expenditure incurred in the Central Circle. ·

·:'· (b) Buildings.

13. The total cost of building work incu~re'd during the year was R5,23,749 or R14,233" more than in 1905-06. New work cost about B5,090 and repairs about. R9,000 more .than in the previous year. The marked improvement ~ecorded in the review of 1905-06 has therefore not. been, maintained. In the United Provinces, where housing accommodation is alr~ady well provided, new work cost· 8ome RS,OOO less· than in 1905-06. . In i3ombau the expenditure under this head also fell from R65,545 to R28,902,-a decrease }Vhich largely serves, to counterbalance the almost general increase in expenditureon building work Jn the majority of other provinces. The cost of maintenance of buildings was less than in the previous year in Bengal, the Punjab, Central ProrJinces and Be1•a'r, but was· more than made. good by general increases elsewhere~ the chief expenditure t'aking place in the. United Province~, Eastern Bengal and .4.ssam, and -Bombay. The close relation, referred to in last year's review; between the provision of corrim.unicatioris an~)uildings and the execu­tion of silvicultural. or. other· works in the forests must again be -qrged as of. the greatest importance; ~ut it is gratifying to observe that plans for the execu-

1 tion of these works o·ver a ·period 9~ years, so strongly recommende.d fn previous reviews, have been introduced into a number of provinces. .

' ' . . .

(c) Miscellaneo~s Works.

14. The expenditure incurred on minor works such as irrigation channe1s, ·tanks, wells, the.clearing and maintenance.of streams,. camping grounds and compounds amounted to R82,089 compared with R64,835 in the previous year. In Bengal, there was a fall from R6,060 to R2,159, due to less expenditure on the cons~uction of tanks. With the exception of a slight fallin Bom~a!J there was a general extension of ;miscellaneous work, the most noteworthy increase being .in the Oentral Provinces where R31,076 were spent compared. with lU4,!81 in the previous ,ye~r or an increase of 110 per cent. A number of

tanks and a large ijUmber of wells Were Constructed,' 'which are expected to prove of much benefit in improving the water-supply in grazing· tracts. -The co·operatio~ of the Irrigation Department in the selection of suitable sites for the tanks and in providing a s~tor~ course of training. in these work'~ to a numbl'r of Fore~t Rangers has gone far to achieve ·notable resUlts in the ·Central Provinces., ,

'Injuries from natural causes appear to be. serious in Mailra4. -~ The spike disease of sandal. wood is reported to be spreading in North Coimhatore, while fungus and insect pests ~ve ~ecome a. ser_io~ menace to the numerous plantations. A fu~ns (TricAosporitHTJ »eaicuiosum) continued to attack ca.suarina plantations in Ganja.m, Kistna, Guntur, Nellore and South Arcot, while insects are-reported to be causing injury in many parts of the Presi· dency. Extensive~ clearances of afiected trees· and the destruction of insects were undertaken to arrest injury. . . ,

The principal operation undertaken in Bom~ay }VaB that of climber cutting but the area . worked over is not clearly indicated nor is it evident whether there is a concerted plan of action against these noxious plants. Lantana' is reported to be spreaning in felled coupes in Dharwar and Belgaum, while' Sar 'grass is also reported.as tending to stifle Babul seedlings in the Si~d Circle. The system of clea; fellin.,O'S there in vogue is liable to aggravate this source of injn.ry.

23. A'perusa.l of the foregoing extracts f~om Provincial. reports proves that this subject is one of vital importance to the future welfare of tbe Indian forests. The study of insect ;pests _has: foi-tunately reached a point where

18

preventi~e or remedial measures can usually be indicatPd, although, in some cases, these are of a very drastic nature and difficult or costly of application. In the matter of climbers and noxious weeds, such as lantana, the remedy lios in extirpation, though here too the cost is often heavy, while dama(Pe from other growth cnn often be overcome by adopting a suitable silviculturai treat­ment. As regards . fungi and insects, these are usually more difficult to combat, particularly' In plantations where condition.S are most suitable for the-·· development of a serious pest or dis~nse. It is becoming an interesting ques­tion whether silvicultural treatment in India in the present does not often tend to.tbo formation of too pure a crop of the most valuable species •. Experience seems to show that any serious interference with the composition of the natural forest favours the development of insect and fungus attacks and it is therefore a matter for consideration whether, in future, mixed woods should not be more largely cultivated, not only because of their greater capacity for resisting . attacks from natural enemies but in order to prevent the deleterious. toxic effect on the soil which appears to result from the too pr,olongPd cultivation of the same

. species. The economic aspect of the case is also important for the value. of soft woods·may become, as they have already done.in Europe, of special importance in the development of local industries and manufactures, so that it is impossible to continue to assume that the potential v~lue of the forests depends solely ~n the supply of timbers of the highest present va.lue for construction, as now appears to be generally the case in India:

· 4.-SILVI(mLTURE.

(a)-:-Natural Reproduction •.

24. This subject is generally dealt with in detail in the different reports.' The effect of fire protection on reproduction is continuing to receive attention in those parts where climatic influences have produced conditionS adverse '~ the propagati~n of the most valuable kinds. In the moist Sal forests of Bengali the Conserva.tnr maintains that there is no reason to believe that fire could any• where be used as a cheap and effective agent for improving the reproduction of Sil. Experiments undertaken duqng the lasf year or two tend to prove that, in existing conditions, SaJ. seedlings establish ·-.themselves and· live for a

·time under the inferior growth and that the Sal can be assisted to develop" by oft-repeated cleanings and weedings. No practical method has, however, been devised of dealing with bamboos which . form the principa1 obstacle in the hill Sal areas. In the ·most fertjle portions of other divisions· 'Which enjoy a comparatively dry climate, conditions are noticed, 'after years of fire protection, to approximate to those which have been alluded to above, and in such ·areas the matter is beginning to receive the necessary attention.· Swadr.i is reported to be spreading in the Sundarbans but the valuable trees of the medium and lower elevations of the Darjeeling hills do not appear to reproduce themselves . ~ satisfactorily as . might be wished. Coppice reproduction is generally satisfactory,

25. In the United Provinces Sal reproduction, aided by two good seed years, 'Was generally reported as satisfac.tory while .climatic conditions were also favourable to the development of the seedlings. In the "Eastern Circle the effects of grazing, aggravated by frost, served to arrest the spread of Sa.I to some extent. On tb~ upper limit of its habitat the Sal is noticed to be giving way, uuder successful fire protection, to Pinus longifolia. Deodar reproduc·

u

tion is said to be plentiful in Jaunsar but the regeneration of oaks on the higher hills of the. Naini Tal Division is not satisfactory, and cultural operations will probably be required to assbt · that species. In district forests heavy. grazing and fires are the chief sources of injury, and it is only where these evils dm he mitigated that success is attained.

I~ the Punjab efforts to Improve the reproduction of Deodar by removing the. layer of uil.decomposed vegetable m~tter and exposing the soil, were generally attended with success· in Basbahr and to some extent in Cbaruba. The natural reproduction of the Deodar an'd Firs is, however,' not yet fully under­stood, and very contradictory results are achieved. In many forests the henvy ~razing of goats and sheep renders reproduction impossible.

2.6. To confirm the view already expressed that prolonged fire protection in the. moist parts ·of Burma was arresting the reproduction of Teak, countings were undertaken iii sample plots in Tharrawaddy that tended to support this opinion. Protection will therefore be abandoned tentatively in specified areas and the results carefully watqhed. There is apparently no question of the. value of fire. protection in the drier parts of the country. The extensive :flowering of ·· tinwa ( Oephalostackgum pergracile) has not, however, resulted in the ;gtmera.l assistance to nat~ral regeneration of teak which appears to have been 'anticipatell.; Reproduction of padouk ·is stated to be generally unsatis· factory. ' '' · ' · · · '1 : • ' .

In $astern Bengal and .A.ssant the conditions which bav~ been referred to regarding the moist S1H tracts of , Bengal are intensified and endeavours are being made to ascertain,·by experiment; the effect on reproduction of the use

·of fire ~ver sample areas. It appears however that the moist forests which have ·. been successfully !protected for a lo:p.g term of years do not readily burn and: tbjs ditfictJ.lty seems to be, affecting- the cou~·se of the experiments. In Cachar and Chitt~gong'the. reproduction Qf some of the most valuable kinds is ~-ptio.ed. to b.e . unsatisfactory,< owing tc,> t)le paucity of seed bearers, a probable consequence.·af :unregtllated working.

,, :. ·Ill th.~ Centt:al ~rovin.ceo?,, cljmatio oo:t;tditions were, as a. rule, favourable to. natural reprodu~tion •. ·The lattet is, however, stated to be generally unsatis­facto~y.in •D(:)!'ar.·: Heavy ,grazing and insufli~ient soil moisture are stated to be· t~e chief preventing ageQ.cies.· · · ' , , .

. It is ·difficult' to extract :any ·salient. features· fr.om the mass of information eontained,in therMadr·as rep.ort, b~t.-:regenerati!:m. poth )ly seed.s and coppice appears to1 have ~been generally satisfactory, con,ditions 9£-climate and freedom from fire assisting 1argely in the success atbined, · . /27..'.The impression' created by. a perusal. of the 13ombay reports is that )Vhere;ver fife .protection,: u rab '~ cut.ting, and cattl~ trespass can be controlled the for.ests · re_produce themselves. The season was remarkable for an almost total absence of Te~krseed in the Southern Circle, the reason for which is not clear., J!l Sind:, a. favourable. inundation of the Babul forests is expected to result in a plentiful supply of seedlings. ·

· '28. ·The· area of plantations, including taungyas, fell from 136,528 to 134,785 acres, There was· an increase of over 2,000 acres in Brwma but this was more tnan countcrboJanced by decreases in B eugal, the Central P1'ovince1,

l!J

1J adras a.nd Bom~ay. Seven tb,ousand and nineteen acres of failures, 6,2 86 of which were sown ·with Bnrma. teak seed, were struck off i'n the Southern Circle of the Central ProolJJCta. Similarly in the Central Circle of Bombay, 3,125 acres of failures were abandoned, · · ,

Tho total expenditUl'e on plantations fell from ·Ri,40.606 to R2,31,036. It appenrs to be a sountl policy to curtail expenditure on plantations if it is felt that the time and money allotted to their. formation and "maintenance is more advantagE'ously spent on cultural operations and works tending to improve the· growing stock in nat'Qfal forests, and, as already explained~ the 'dangers to which pure planfutions are exposed from insects and fungus pests' are also of importance in determining the present policy.

29: ·oultteral operations which comprise any wqrks of artificial regeneration not amounting t,o regular planbtions such as the introduction of valuable species. the filling up of blanks, etc., were undertaken ln most provinces.' ··

Io }J~,gal 296 acres 1f'ere dealt with in the Darjeeliog and 19-f acres in the Tista Divisions. In Pul'i a Sllla.ll area was sown with Teak and Casiia Siamea~ , · . ,

In the United Province~ th~ most. e:dep.sive operations were und£Ttaken ~n Ja,unsa.r, where ·an area of 451 acres was sown or plantttd with Deodar •. Similar work was undertaken in Naini Tal over: H9 acres of. newly acqui~ed land and blanks, but much ~sefui work was also done by Forest Guards and fire watchers in removing oover over' &uppre~sed seedungs 1n the coupes of the year. In the Eastern ·Circle a commencement has l,leen made in sawing S4oret~ robr~tfa, .Acacia Catec!u, JJom~a:e mala~aricurJJ1 J.caciil .A.rabtca · and Catalpa ipecioaa in blaak or poorly ljtOc~ed areas with a ~ew to ili,eir' reh?isement. .• I~ is; anticlpa~ed that 1,000. acres . yearly may ultimately be dealt w1th at a cost not much exceedtng RS per !'ere, , . .

In the P•rlja~ work was centered mainly in Basha.hr a.n~ Cha.nga Manga. In' tb~:rorm:er extensive sowing and transplanting of established plants from sown' lines 'W.s undertaken and helps to reduce the oost of these operations: In Cbanga. :Manga there were many hilnres tho cause of .which is un~plained; t~ matter is, however, to receive.moie attention hi foture.

Extensive operations are io progress in Jlurr1Vf to ·dibble in Teak seed io llreas where BamlK.o. has recently ftowered. The results. achieved in the Prome and Katha divisions generally prove that the dibbling in of Teak seed is far less suc~essful than the introduction of transplants.

ln the Cet~tral Prof)inc~ t;pe ~xperill).ent&l Clllt\u'al :opt.~tions by the; agri-silvicoltonl method were continued in the. Ba.rar Circle.

31. These comprise weeding, oleaniug and thinning neeessary to establish and assist the growth of all wooded crops and, in addition, improvement fellings and girdlings which are at present of special value in India in preparing the irregular and too-often ruined. forests for the introdnction or a permanent silvioultural system. . The val!:le of the latter consists in their effect on the crop of the future and their expediency may not therefore be· determined solely by questions of demand, for the material removed is usually of small value, while the benefit to the groWing stock and future yield is out of all· proportion to the loss of possible revenue involved when the material remains unutilized. · · · · - ·

The. following is 8. brief abstract of the work undertaken in different proviirces :- " .

In Bengal, cleanings which inciU'le the.cut~ing, lopping or girdlin~ of inferior kinds and the removal of shrubs or undergrowth to uncover young· growth of valuable trees were carried out over 9,641 acre~ at a cost ·of RZ,086. . . .

In the UNited Pt'ofJinca, the work which is generally carried oo.t under the prescriptions of Working-Plans was.· with few exceptions accomplished. In Jaunsar, opportunity was taken of tbe ·flowering of 8tro!Jilaut!ea to eradicate tbe shrub by uprooting it before the seed ripened,. 'One tb~nsand one hundred and ninety-ei~ht 'ilcres. were thus· worked over at a cost of R728 and the result will be. watched with interest. ·

ID. the Punjab, improvement fellings to benefit Deodar extended over 1,567 acres in Bashahr and over 474 acr~s in Knlu. Clearing .of u'ndergrowth and thionings was also carried out to some extent ; but the total expenditure of only R3,838 appears to indicate that much Was not 'accomplished during the year; ·, . . .

The principal operation undertaken in Burma consisted of improvement felli"ooos which extended 'over. 78;400 acres at a :cost of Rl7,485. The work fell short of tlie prescriptions of Working-Plans, while the manner of its execution in some divisions seems to justify some doubt as to its effectiveness. · · · ·

In EtS8ter• Bengal and .d8Bam, improvement felliD.gs and cleanings were made over· 6,986 aCres in Buxa at a cost of Rl,l44; In· Goolpara 4,971 acres were marked over for improve­lllent fellin.,oos but the work aetua.lly done is not stated.

. It is not an easy matter to ascertain from the reports the area worked over under improve• ment fellin.,<PS in the Central Provincel. A sum of R 12,856 was spent on this work which, however, is clearly insufiicient. The Administration endorses the opinion of the Inspec~ General of Forests in regard to the urgent need for properly conducted improvement fellings, aud remarks that urgent silvicultnral operations should not be neglected even when involving

' the removal of unsaleable material •. Natural padonk seedlings were freed from overhead cover in the .dntlam~Jnl. The presence

of these in considerable numbers in the second growth forest resulting from fuel fellings indicates ~n· alternation of species and o!fers a probable solution of the hitherto doubtful method of natural regeneration of padonk. ·

. In M atlra1, progress in the abolition of the permit system and the restriction o£ fellings to specified areas are important factors in the treatment of the forests, but the area o¥er which the change of syatem extenJed and its cost are not generally stated in the report.

In Bom~a!J work was not extensive; the principal operations were th e undertaken to· assist Teak in North Kanara and Snrat. _ ·

(d)-E:rpen'"!'ent~. 32. The experimental burning. of 'grass in the Satnbalpur Division of

_:Beng~l, inaugura.fed last year, has been dis~ntin~ed as the staff is as yet in­SU~Ciently orga~used ~ carry ?ut the expenment m the manner required, and_ ev1dence of the 1mmediate effects _ca:n _be ascertained from fire Jines.· ·

Experiments w~re· undertaken in the United Pro'Dinces · to deternilne s~table species (1) to grow on the many acres 9f bare "hillsides facing south and on which few indigenous species t~rive,' 'and (2) :.of quick growing llids to supplement the fuel supplies of hill stations. 'The Hardy 'Catalpa has been found most. suitable for the former . purpose but it thrives . best at . the lower elevations ... For the latter .Acacia · de~lba_ta was found 't!) su~ceed on sandy loams at 5,000 feet rlevution .witll a north or north-eastern aspect.: Eumllyptns globnl~s is' also being .t~ed. The experiment in' lao cultivation in'ihe 8iwalik Division appears to be succeeding, some areas. having been- leased for ·that

. purpose. Th~ .relative fer_tility of S.il_ seed from coppice and high, forests was · _tested in Gonda an~ Ba~raioh. ·.Result's s() tar indicate' that ~eed' from coppice

.. is sufficiently fertile for all' practical purposes. · · · ' • · .· -·. · ·. · · _ . E-xperiments With: Eucalyptlis ·in the. Punjab; have been successful in

. Lah9re, but in Simla it is believ:ed that· the climate is ·too cold for this tree, which is also liable to suffer from snow-break. . The remedy probabltlies in the St>leot.ion of more suitable kinds, as certai~ ,specie~ of'Eucalyptus'· occur in 'l'asmania under conditions of climate not dissimilar to those of Simla. It is obViously useless t~ continue experimentswith Eucalyptus~ globulus. ·

33. The :MPrgui rubber plantation in-Burma has p~oved 'beyond doubt the suitability of the locality for the cultivation. Of Hevea 11rfj,ziliensis arid endeavours are now. being made to lease it', The . cultivation ·of the· camphor

. tree at Bhamo and Momeik has prod~ced encouraging results: ~ . , · · · . The s-ilvicultural_ experiments undertaken' Ja.St year m the ·aent1·al Prov·

inces were continued, but ·as yet have not produced clear results; ) A.n.·in~ec­tion of the sandal pl~nt~tions' in North Chaitda appears· to 1 show .that the introduction of this tree can never be of more than experimental interest .....

A }urge number of. exotics are cultivated in Jlladras: The camphor tree (Oinna1nomunA Oamphora), some Californian pi"'es, Mahogany (M. Swietenia) and various rubbers appear to pronli~e best. . ' · · · . .

In :·Bombay, so mew htLt extensive cultivati:in of the various. rubbers was undertaken in all circles with varying success, with a view, no . doubt; to testing the adaptability of the various kinds to local conditions: , ·. · · The cultivation of rubber on a. commercial soale.is probably.·best left to

private ente;p~e- as it bas been found, both in Assam a~d.' B~r,~a, that tbe aupervision of ~:~uch rubber plantations makes unreasonable. demands on t~e fo]est staff and interferes \lith its more legitimate work~

''Although the· gross revenue is less thari that of the previous year by Rl,83,107 the expenditUre is also less hy Rl,94, 721 so that the surplus is better by RU,614 .. :It might be expected from the decrease in outturn referred to in Chapter II that there should be soine fall in the gross receipts but the decre:rse in thnber, fuel, and bamboos appears to be almost compensated by the increased 10.lue ·of ·the minor· produce disposed of;. for while the otitturn of timber and fuel feU by 9 per cent. and that of bamboos by' 13 per cent. there was a rise of 15 per cent. in the revenue derived from minor produce, and the fall in gross revenue amounted therefore to '68 per cent. only. . .

The' most marked decreases in gross receipts occurred in Be1zgaJ (llakh), Ptinjab (1! lakhs), Burma (5 lakhs), Oentral P1•ovinces (i bkh) and Bom~fJ'!/

(J lakh) while all other provinces showed better gross returns. The fall in revenue in the Punjab is due to a reduced demand, during a period of scarcity, both for standing timber and fuel and for material collected in dep6ts. The deficit in Burma is c~vered by a corresponding increase in the value of stocks.

The increase in net revenue is due to a smaller expenditure: the principal decreases under the latter head occurr~d in the United Provinces (11akh), Ptmjab (lt lakhs), Burma (2! lakhs), and Bombay (1! lakhs), they appear to be almost wholly due to a fall in the expenditure on departmental timber works-consequent on the application of the policy of leaving the exploitation of the forests to private enterprise. It has been shown in Chapter II that

. works of improvement are generally receiving the necessary attention ; so the

va.lue of the forests is clearly incre~ing, and when tht>se have been further opened up, when the are!is which have received protection .and careful treat-· ment for many years ·a,.e fully utilized, and when new sources of income are tapped, the fin~ncial rP.sults will continue to improve as the quantity, quality a.nd vo.lue of the outturn nses. ·. . > ••

40. The net revenue per square mile of land under the control of the Department varies enormously in'the different provinces i it is dependent on the proportion of revenue producing area. and on the proportion'ofarea. utilized · in the satisfaction of the rights and privileges of the people, as well as on: the · intensity of ~or king justified by sound management. .·.The' highest net feturn· per. square mile was U383 in the North-West Frontier Province, the United Provinces and Coorg ·yielding R287· and .R263, respectively;. · The lowest retuins-were of R21 in .Eastern Bengal and .A.ssain: ·and of Bll in. Ajmer. The average for all provinces was R52 per square mile against' ~50 i:O: 1905-06 and R47. in 1904-05. These figures seem to support the view taken of tb& increasing value of the State foies~s. · · ·. ' '

The above calculations'omit the val~e of fores~ ·produce given away free or at reduced rates. The estimated val tie of such' concessions amounted during the year to R3c1 lakbs and represents a. portion ·'of the dir~ct value of the forests to the country, apf:'rt from the contribution of. about' 1r ·· crores ·to the State revenues. . . .

4t. The total value of exp~rts of forest products at ports or shipment amounted in the year under review to 490} lakhs of rupees as agninst 469 lakhs in 1903·06 and an average of 402 lakhs for the three preceding years. There has been a general {111ling off in the quantity of articles e:qJorted, th~ · increase in value being ohiefly due to the better prices realised.

The quantity of caoutchouc exported !ell from 279. tons in 1905·06 ta' 2241 tons in 1906·07. The out-put ho\1·ever still compares favourably ·with ,the· average of 168 tons for the 5 years ending 1905~06. The value. of this product rose at the·same time from R4,595 per ton to R4,993.

Thirteen thousand four hundred and sixty-four tons of lao were exported during the year or 2:59 .tons less than in the previous year, but the tota.l value of this article rose from 318lakhs to 350 lakhs, button .. and. shell lao having risen in value by 13 per cent. and 16 per cent. respectively. The- demand for this article a ppea.rs to be limited only by its ·supply and this again . only by the area suitable for its cuitivation. In the Central Provinces the developtnent of this industry by departmental agency has been somewhat ·hampered , by existing leases and contracts. . In Sind. the propagation of lao h~ for some time been fostered departmentally, with the ·result. that . the lao·bearing :JAres. has rapidly extended and the industry . has ah-eady proved a profitable .~ource of revenue to the State. · :: . :> ,~ " : .· \ · · ·;

. . 45. Eight officers who had completed their training at Cooper's Hill College. were appoint~d Assistant Conservators of Forests and arrived in I~dia at the end of 1906. Three of these were posted to Burma, two each to Bengal and Bombay and one to Eastern Bengal and Assam. Dr. N oshirva~ Gustasp, Ph.D., an Extra-Assistant Conservator· of Forests serving in the ·Bombay Presidency, was appointed to the Imperial Forest Service as a special :case. ·and- • posted to tha.t Presidency. · ' · · ·1 (J :

Nineteen candidates were selected in England by the Seoreiary 'of .State for training at Oxford for the Indian Forest SerYice. · '

· Mr. E. P. Ste'Qbing. on leave.· Mr. Puran Singh was appointed acting Imperial Forest Chemist. . · · . • · · · . · 47. Th~ number of candidates wbo presented themselves f~r the entrance examination of the Imperial }'orest College in 1906 was 103, or 20 more than the previous year. Out of 44 who qualified for ·admission, 36 joined the College in April H)07, besides eight students, including four from Nepal, who were

2-J.

sp~cialiy exe~pted from psssi~g the' entrance examination. One stipendiary . student from Sind. and another from the N t-pal State left the College before tb~ r~in~ term, thus reducing the number to 42 at the close of the year. .At

·the final examination held in March 1907-, Higher Standard certi6c'ltes were awarded to 23 can?idates and Lower Standard certificates to 8. _ Since the Deh~a D~n Forest School .wa8 .founded in 1878, Rkher Standard certificates have been granted_to 600 students .and Lower Stan~dard certificates to 1a . . O"·ing" .to the recoustit':ltion of the School into a. Cullege and the abolition of the Lower Vernacular Class, this 'Was the last occasion on· which certificates

. were issued nnder the old rulPs. · 48. The duty of training subordinate officers below the rank of Ranger has·

now devol.ved on Local Gov~rnm.eats and steps .were taken in most provinees where there were no local Forest Schools to establish suitahle institutions for

-·. the instruction o( Guards, Forester~ and D~puty Rang·ers in the rudiments ot practical Forestry and cognate sciences. A Vernacular · Forest School was esta~lished at _Balaghat in the"OentraZ Provinces fro~ 1st April1908, providing a cours·e of instruction e~tending over one year and for . the. admission of 21 students annually ...

· . For Bengal a course· of. instruction in Forest subjects was instituted at · Kurseong 'under the supervision of the Divij;ional Fo.rest OffiCEir. The training. is to Jast for six niont)ls from· June to De~ember and the number of students admitted on each ooCa.sion is not to exceed_ eight. . - . ·

The Unite"il Pror;inces Government decide:! to hold a training·ciass at · ·Ram.nagar for subordinate' officers, not exceeding twelve at a time, u'?der the

supervision of the Cons.ervator of the Western Circle and unde~ the imm~diate 'charge of a selected officer of the Provincial Forest Service. The ~lass is to meet ab9ut the end of O~tober and to last for.eight months, during which the students· will tour through-: the ·most important forests of the two circles, and receive practical instruction from works in: actual progress. · ·

·Proposals were _sanctioned during the year for the reconstitution of the . Vernacular Forest Sc~ool in Burfi&a . and for ~ts transfer to Pyinmana. The ! new rules provide for two ·courses,. one in English for the award o! the Higher Standard certificate and the other in Burmese for the Low.er Standard. Each
