THE ANNUAL SHEEP RETURNS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MAY, 1884.

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.

Mr. B. P. Bayly to the Hon. the Colonial Seceetaby. Sic, — Colonial Secretary's Office (Stock Branch), Wellington, 26th May, 1885. I have the honour to lay before you the annual sheep returns for the year ending 31st May, 1884. The total number of sheep in the colony on that date was 13,978,520, as against 13,306,329, or an increase of 672,191 on return of previous year. In the several districts the increase or decrease during the year have been as follows : Auckland, increase, 10,263; Napier, increase, 157,804 ; Taranaki, decrease, 3,292 ; Wanganui, increase, 8,233 ; Bangitikei, increase, 53,769 ; Wellington, increase, 67,983 ; Nelson, increase, 4,432 ; Marlborough, increase, 39,691; Canterbury, increase, 217,829; Westland, increase, 217; Otago, increase, 115,262, notwithstanding a decrease of 44,472 sustained in the Lake and Southland counties. The classification of sheep can be taken approximately as : Merino, males, 3,292,774 ; females, 4,173,008. Long-wool, males, 429,533 ; females, 785,208. Cross-bred, males, 1,977,646; females, 3,320,351. Total, males, 5,699,953; females, 8,278,567 : making a grand total of 13,978,520. On reference to the above return it will be observed that cross-bred sheep again show an enormous increase in comparison with those of other descriptions. Out of the total increase of 672,191, crossbred show 508,639, or five-sixths of the total increase in the colony for the year. During the year ended 31st March last, 491,066 frozen carcases of mutton have been exported, against 247,772 during previous year, being an increase of 243,294. Of these Otago furnished 133,964 ; Canterbury, 121,627 ; Marlborough, 15,950; Wellington, 130,436 ; Napier, 89,089. For meat-preserving purposes 100,490 sheep were utilized. During the same period Otago supplied 572; Canterbury, 26,374; Marlborough, 757; Wellington, 26,998; Wanganui, 19,270; Napier, 24,884 ; Auckland, 1,635. The total number treated exceeds that of last return by some 9,000 sheep. The number of sheep boiled down for the year ended 31st March last amounted to 52,206. Of these 20,800 were contributed by Marlborough, 22,251 by Wanganui, and 9,155 by Napier, showing a falling-off, as compared with previous year, of 2,667. There have been exported alive during the same period, 2,165. Of these 2,132 were fat sheep, shipped from Otago to Hobart, and 33 from Canterbury to the Chatham Islands. The number imported was 935. Of these 835 were stud sheep from Australia and Tasmania, and the remaining lOTTwere sheep from the Chatham Islands. Tabulated form B affords general information in re sheep districts, number of sheep-owners, number of infected sheep, &c. By referring to the return of infected sheep, it will be observed that a reduction of 204,943 has been effected during the year, leaving the number on the return for March 31st at an aggregate of 108,995. Of these about 5,500 are located in the North Island, distributed as follows : Wanganui, 1 owner, 195 sheep; Wairarapa, 2 owners, 5,300 sheep. Of these one flock, 800 in number, being the last flock infected, have been destroyed. The remaining flocks I fully anticipate will have obtained clean certificates prior to June 30th, leaving the North Island free from any known scabby or infected flocks. The remaining infected flocks, 16 in number, are depastured wholly within the Sheep District of Marlborough, and number 102,050, distributed amongst 15 owners. Out of these, three flocks, numbering 30,000, have obtained their clean certificates since March quarter, and fully 20,000 more

are expected to be in the same condition by June 80th. Should these anticipations (of which I have littlo doubt) be realised, the number of known scabby or infected sheep in the colony will amount to very little over 50,000. Of these latter one flock of 4,000 is being killed off, and another, the largest infected flock remaining, has now been reduced to under 30,000, which, after four or five miles of fencing now in course of erection is completed, will place this flock within fenced boundaries. These sheep have been continually mustered and dipped during the season with every probability of their coming in clean next year. As a matter of fact the infected flocks are now confined to the roughest as well as the most difficult country we have to deal with. This for many years past has been a fastness for wild scabby sheep, whose numbers were continually supplemented by stragglers from adjoining flocks. Before finality in these cases can be arrived at, all the roughest and inaccessible portions must be fenced off, and all sheep outside fences destroyed. Until this is effected, and the fenced-off portion left unstocked for a few years, the chances of reinfection from wild sheep and stragglers must be continuous. During the year about 10,000 sheep have become reinfected from this cause. With one exception these outbreaks have occurred in the Sounds, Marlborough District, in each case attributable to unfenced boundaries and wild sheep. Most of these flocks so reinfected were cleaned during the period that certain clauses in the Sheep Act were suspended in the Marlborough District: they have held clean certificates since ; but, being depastured on runs bounded by rough, hilly, and bush country, when this has been scoured for stragglers, either wild scabby sheep have been picked up, or, in other cases, scabby wild rams have joined the adjacent flocks. Any danger to be apprehended from these Sounds sheep is very remote, as they are either on islands or in such isolated positions that their mixing with the larger flocks is as a rule impossible. Further, the ■ owners, although of small flocks, are fencing in the available parts of their runs, and purpose scouring the unfenced portions; but with such country as Arapawa and D'Urville Island in the Sounds, Tophouse, Eed Hills, and the bush country in Blenheim Subdivision, before a thorough scour can be completed rather more comprehensive measures will be required than can possibly be effected within the means of owners occupying this description of country, or future danger from this source removed. Wild sheep, though not really numerous, or, as a rule, very scabby, are Bparsely distributed through the whole of this country. Only one case of reinfection to which I attach much importance has occurred during the year: this has taken place within the last few weeks, at Tophouse and Eed Hills, near a main road between the Marlborough and Nelson Districts, wild sheep again in this instance being the cause. No actual scab had been seen in thie flock for over four years, but during a portion of that period it appears on the infected list through legallyinfected sheep having mixed with them. Within the last two years this country has changed hands, the new owner increasing the stock from the original number, 800, to over 3,000, and during the same period has destroyed from 1,500 to 2,000 wild sheep and stragglers, some of which were stated to be diseased. As the country was scoured so the sheep were allowed to go back, and undoubtedly some of the flock have become reinfected from wild sheep remaining on the back country; the reinfection is but slight, only one diseased sheep having been seen by the Inspector. Prompt ■ measures have been adopted to have all sheep on this and adjoining runs mustered at once. The country available here for fencing is extremely limited; the block as a whole will not carry more than a sheep on from 7to 10 acres; very rough, part heavily timbered and poor ; boundaries practi- ■ cally unfenceable. This is a case where, if infection has spread, I see no other resource but to reduce the stock to the number that can be kept within fences, then thoroughly scour the country for stragglers, and leave it unstocked for some years. Whilst dealing with the subject of wild sheep on waste lands, I may mention that during the year, wherever fencing has been completed, a systematic muster of the above areas has either been initiated or carried out —in some places dealt with a second time; the result has been the destruction of several hundreds of wild and stray sheep. One large block mustered last season, and on which some 700 wild and stray sheep were destroyed, when gone over again this year but 32 sheep in all were found, 5 only of these being wild sheep, the remainder stragglers from adjoining runs; none were scabby. It is contemplated next season to gradually extend operations of this nature until all dangerous or suspected country has been thoroughly dealt with. Good progress having been made in the reduction of scab during the past year, and as it may be fairly anticipated that next season will see the number of infected sheep reduced to a minimum, it becomes a question should not some other means than those at present at our disposal be adopted to attain the desired end. By some it is advocated that within a given period all infected flocks should be purchased by the State, destroyed, and the country where they have been depasturing left unstocked for some years. With this suggestion Ido not wholly agree. I maintain that wherever fenceable country exists and available for sheep pasture, this land, if possible, should be retained. The sheep within the fences, when cleaned—and if kept so—would afford the best criterionas to the state of the country fenced off; at the same time the direct incentive would be given/to someone taking care that all wild and stray sheep were destroyed on the unoccupied country adjoining. The total abandonment of country, except where imperative, will leave large blocks with a few wild sheep scattered throughout, and with no one having a direct personal interest in their destruction. Further, would not the purchase of remaining infected sheep, unless at a very low figure, be offering a premium to those who have not used the same efforts to eradicate scab as their neighbours ? Another course, both feasible and more practical than the destruction of all infected flocks, appears open and worthy of consideration—that is, where owners of infected flocks are the lessees of Crown lands for runs, and are unable to erect fencing or make other improvements necessary for the thorough stamping out of the disease, could not the State in these cases, after due examination and inquiry being made, advance such owners a certain amount sufficient to fence in available country at a reasonable rate of interest, such advance to be the first charge against the estate ?

iii

H.—ll

This course might obviate the abandonment of some areas, and give a greater probability of these being thoroughly cleaned, as well as afford labour and utilise country that would otherwise be left idle. Under present conditions it must be patent that the amount of fines levied per year must eventually dissipate the estate upon which they are levied without arriving at a thoroughly satisfactory termination of the scab question. Granting my deductions to be correct, and force of circumstances compel owners to throw up their holdings, the question arises, Who will take their places or responsibilities ? The course suggested means an improvement of State property, and the money so advanced affords actually a greater security to mortgagees where property is encumbered, as with this advance the tenant has a greater probability of cleaning his flocks, whilst the interest on the amount so advanced cannot possibly be more than a tithe in comparison with cost of fines and extra expenditure entailed in working scabby flocks. In previous reports I have referred to the necessity for amending some sections of the present Sheep Act. I would again express an opinion that from section 45 the word "negligently" should be expunged. The introduction of this word has hitherto been the means of retarding the eradication of disease ; and now that the area of infected country is being gradually narrowed, it becomes imperative that no loophole should be left by which the owners of scabby sheep can evade the consequences of, under any circumstances, allowing infected sheep to stray. It is further my opinion that section 26 should be amended so that the owners of infected flocks should not only be prevented from breeding lambs, but the possibility of their introducing foreign sheep on to their country, while remaining infected, should also be precluded. I look upon the introduction of strange sheep as fraught with more danger to surrounding owners than the fact of breeding on infected runs. With the above exceptions I see no further need for alteration in the present Act; so much having been effected under its provisions, it should, with alterations as indicated, suffice to complete the eradication of what scab now remains in the colony. I may further state that during the past year the Act has been strictly enforced, and where prosecutions have been instituted, with one or two exceptions, convictions have been obtained and fines inflicted; and further, all fines previously in abeyance have been collected. The total amount of fines which have been inflicted for breaches of "The Sheep Act, 1878," since that measure became law, up to the 31st March last, is £6,406 15s. 4d., of which sum fines amounting to £1,161 12s. have been remitted, leaving a balance of £5,245 3s. 4d. The amended Act of last session dealing with lice is doing much good, the objectionable practice of driving or taking lousy sheep to sale-yards has been put a stop to, and negligent owners compelled to dip their sheep where found to be infested. The frozen-meat trade has nearly doubled itself during the year, the number of carcases exported being 243,294 in excess of previous annual return; but the Home price now ruling being somewhat lower than that previously received, unless freight and other charges can be materially reduced, our maximum export in this direction may be considered as attained. It is satisfactory to observe that an increase of sheep is again shown in Otago; but two counties show any decrease this year; these embrace the roughest as well as the most rabbitinfested country in Otago, especially the Lake country. I deem it expedient to refer again this year to the " kea " question. The losses caused annually by this pest on runs in high country is still great—in fact, of such proportions that constant destruction of these birds should be carried out. The subsidy granted for this purpose two years since afforded great assistance to those who have to contend with this plague; and I would strongly urge the Government to again place a sum on the estimates, so that one shilling per beak may be paid, as previously, for all keas destroyed. Beviewing last year's operations, I submit that very fair work has been done in the eradication of scab. I believe the North Island now to be free from disease, and what remains in the South Island is wholly confined to rough, mountainous, and for the greater part poor country, which has been a refuge for wild sheep and stragglers for many years past. The difficulty in dealing with these lays in the fact that the adjoining country was not fenced, and until this is completed, the prospect of thoroughly cleaning the country is uncertain. As fencing has progressed so the adjoining waste lands have been or are being scoured. A good deal in this direction still remains to be done before thorough security can be attained. I can safely assert that the country for many years has not been so free from scab as at the present time, or with a greater certainty of its being eradicated at no very distant period. In conclusion, I may report the flocks generally throughout the colony are healthy, with a fair season's clip; severe weather during the lambing season, in many localities, reduced the general average, while in other places where for some years past the rabbit-plague permitted but poor returns, last year as much as 80 per cent, of lambs and full clip was obtained. I have, &c, Benjamin P. Bayly, The Hon. the Colonial Secretary, Wellington. Superintending Inspector,
