CHIEF INSPECTOR OF SHEEP:

REPORT FOR 1881.

Laid upon the Table by Mr. Moore, and ordered by the Council to be printed, July 12, 1882.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF SHEEP.

S,I,J,?, Inspector of Sheep Office, 23rd· July, 1882.

. · I HAVE the honor to submit, for the information of the Government, the following Report to the 30th Jmie: · ·

. • I have the satisfaction of stating· that the flocks ~f th~ Colony remain free from the Scab disease.

During the la~t twelve months no wild sheep have been captured or seen, so far as I am informed. I cannot say, however, that it is not possible some may still exist. Further time must elapse before it can be said with absolute certainty that we are altogether free from danger from that source; but I think now we may consider it a possibility only, and not unreasonably conclude it to be improbable.

The number of sheep returned up to the 30th June is about 20,000 in excess of last year's returns, but, as usual, there are still a few thousands to be accounted for during the next three months. During the year there are always a number of changes amongst owners, and an accession of new ones unacquainted with the law. A considerable number of these send in returns during the last six months of the year. For instance, last year nearly 24,000 sheep were returned during· the last half, paying, of course, the penalty of an additional one-fourth contribution to the Scab Act Fund.

This remissness or ignorance of the Law on the part of the class of owners referred to, gives rise to a great deal of unnecessary trouble and labour to the Department, inasmuch as instead of all the returns being made in January and February they are more or less spread over the whole year. The great majority, no doubt, are returned on or before the 28th of February. It is an evil, however, which cannot well be remedied, and as it was foreseen when I framed the Act, the penalty of an additional one-fourth was provided to meet it.

It will be observed that although the number of lbs. of wool exported last year and the beginning of this year, being the clip of 1881, exceeded by 500,000 lbs. the clip of the preceding .year, it is valued at the Customs at £34,000 less. Why this should be so I am unable to discern.

· The Customs Act does not necessitate a declaration as to the value of exports, consequently little reliance can be placed upon their• values. It is a mere hap-hazard matter, dependent upon the

• caprice of the exporter, or perhaps that of his shipping clerk.

I remarked last year upon the unaccountable difference in the -number of cattle as compared with the preceding year, and now this year there is a greater difference still, but snowing as unaccountable an increase this year as was the decrease of last year. In fact, as now taken, the returns of Cattle and Sheep in the Stock and Crop Returns are of no value whatever. The remuneration given is insufficient to secure even moderate accuracy.

The number of stud sheep exported in 1881, as shown by the Customs returns, was as follows in number and value :-

I have every reason to believe that the amount realised for stud sheep exported in 1881 was considerably more than is shown above.

This season the export promises to be greater in number, but of course it is impossible to say that the wonderful prices of last year will be kept up."' Even if they are much lower I think the breeders will ha.ve·no·reason to complain.

, ~ The sales of stud sheep now going on at Sycluey it is said will realise about £25,000.

The number of rabbit skins expOl'ted in l 881 was I ,927,620, vaiued at £14,511.

The curse is still spreading ; and notwithstanding the fact that more skins were exported laet year and during the first six months of the current year than at any previous period, there are now more rabbits than ever; that is, that although they have been thinned in some parts of the country by being destroyed in various ways, they have been increasing elsewhere where a few _years ago a rabbit could not be found.

There was a settler from the Huon country in my office the other day to order some poisoned grain. He is a small farmer, with an orchard from which I believe he derives his principal support. He informed me that rabbits had increased about his place to such an extent, notwithstanding his efforts to destroy them, that before long his orchard would be destroyed, as they had commenced to -bark the trees. ·

I have satisfactory accounts from various quarters as to the destructive effects of the poisoned ,grain prepared in_ Raymond's machines under the superintendence of an officer of this Department; but I feel assured it will only prove a palliative without a compulsory law to compel every one to use the means of destruction at the same time, especially through the spring and summer months. In connection with this rabbit question and what appears a large amount from the export of skins, I may observe, that if there was no export of rabbit skins there would be an additional export of wool to the amount of at least £100,000 per annum.

There is another aspect of the question, and a very serious one too. Rabbit-hunting has a most demoralising influence upon a very large number of lads and young men, now almost entirely occupied in that pursuit. In the country towns there is an opinion prevalent amongst shopkeepers .-and those who deal in rabbit skins, which I have frequently heard expression given to,· and that is, that the existence of rabbits not only produces a considerable export, but they create and foster trade, and provide labour for a large number of men and boys. _"Where these opinions prevail of course it is not considered a desirable object to destroy the rabbits, but rather to keep such a source

-0f local profit in existence. ·

No greater fallacy could exist than the idea that rabbit-hunting is a useful and desirable occupation for lads and young men ; on the contrary, it is utter destruction to habits of steady and honest labour. Lads who have been engaged in rabbit-hunting for a number of years are growing -up unfitted for any steady industrious occupation. 'l'hey become demoralised in every respect, and I believe the ultimate fate of very many of them will be to fill our gaols and penitentiariee, and not a few to find work for the hangman. This picture may appear to be an exaggerated one, but I venture to say that if you appeal to any intelligent settler acquainted with the operation of rabbiting .as affecting the moral status of the youths engaged in it, my opinions will receive full confirmation.

I think it will not be out of place if I again ·reproduce in a corrected form certain calculations .-appended to former reports, showing the amount of material advantage I consider the Colony has derived from the Scab Act during the last 10 years. I do this . because it appears to me that the pastoral and ag-ricultural interests are not held in much repute at the present time by some of our ·public men, and very many of those who live in towns. In fact not a few of the latter seem to think that instead of the couutry supporting and giving employment to the inhabitants of the towns, it is the towns that support the country.

The glitter of gold and tin overshadows and casts into the shade the pastoral and agricultural .interPsts to such an extent that it is almost received as an indisputable fact tha_t_ the gold and tin -discovery has been the salvation of Tasmania.

The majority only look at the amount derived from the exports of gold and tin. They forget or ignore the enormous amount which has been irretrievably sunk, and will continne to be sunk, in -.unproductive claims and bubble companies,-the usual concomitants of mining for the precious .metals,-and erroneously conclude that the Custom House value of the export is all clear gain to ,the Colony.

Instead of this being the case. I venture to say that up to the present time every pound's worth -of gold which has been exported from Tasmania has cost Forty shilling·s to produce it.

In support of this opinion I will give an e-xtract from the second of two very able articles in ,the Contemporary R<'view on " Commonplace fallacies concerning_ Money, by Emile de Laveleye" :-,-

" The value of gold depends so little upon the cost of production that we learn from those of com­_petent authority, who have given Lhe qnestion their time and attention, that the average cost. of each ounce obtained is the price of two. It will be asked: Why then is such a losing business carried on ?-It cannot be possible ! The explanation is very simple. Certain mines make very large profits, and those w4o work at a loss hope, some day, to strike a rich vein, a '' Bonanza," and they work on, cheered by that hope, :until they have expended all their resources. Sometimes they succeed, and their good fortune stimulates -others to similar labours."

6

It will not be understood, I hope, that I am desirous of advancing such an absurd opmion as. that the Colony bas not derived, and will not derive in the future, great advantage from its min.eral productions. What I mean is, that the extent of these advantages are greatly overestimated; and, moreover, if we are to attach any weight to experience in other countries, they cannot be looked upon as being of a permaaent character.

In Victoria and New South Wales the gold discovery attracted hundreds of thousands of people from all quarters of the globe, the bulk of whom remained only a short time at the diggings, and then spread themselves abroad and occupied a country which only required human beings to make it productive. .

Here in Tasmania the conditions are altogether different. The mines do not attract any pupulation excepting for mining purposes ; nor does it appear likely they will ever do so. The· population they have attracted from the neighbouring Colonies is by no means great-only a few thousands in fact. The mining population no doubt create an internal market for beef and mutton, which is an advantage to the grazier; but, on the other hand, the agricultural districts have been deprived of a large number of their best_ labourers, who have been allured to the mines by the temptation of higher wages than the agriculturist can afford to give.

It is by no means an uncommon observation to bear in the towns and on the road that the settlers of Tasmania are an inert class, and are sadly lacking· in enterprise. Some even go to the length of branding them with laziness-particularly a class of critics from the other Colonies, who travel through the country by rail, and when they observe that on many farms as they pass gardens. are going to ruin aud the hedges are untrimmed, and it may be the fences in anything but good order,-they pronounce a sweeping condemnation upon the owners, and g-ravely give expression to the opinion that" the Tasmanian settlers are a poor specimen of what the settlers of a new country ought to be, and that, in fact, they do not deserve to prosper. The climate is genial, and the soil appears to be fertile, and yet they fail to take advantage of the blessings of a bountiful Providence. The significant and important fact is forg·otten by or unknown to these intelligent travellers and dwellers in cities, that the Tasmanian settlers are pretty much in the position of the Israelites in Egypt under Pharoah the King who were called upon to "make bricks without straw."

The country interests are in a state of stagnation-I may say, are almost perishing-for want of labour; and unless population of the right stamp is introduced the present state of hopeless stagnation and absence of all improvements must not only continue, but it seems to me will become more intensified year after year.

The mines will never give Tasmania agricultural labour, but, on the contrary, tend to absorb a great deal of the best we uow possess. No.thing, in my opinion, can place the agricultural and pastoral interests of Tasmania in a position to emerge from their present cheerless condition, and attain prosperity, but the introduction of at least I 0,000 immigTants of 1he agricultural class from Great Britain and Germany. I do riot mean the introduction of 10,000 people in one year, but spread, say, over 3 or 4 years. Ten or twelve or fifteen years ago this would have been absurd, inasmuch as then Tasmania would only have been a stepping-stone to other Colonies where greater attractions existed. Not so now. The attractions which exist.ed elsewhere then no longer exist. If some of those who might now be introduced felt tempted to try the digging·,::, they would £nd our own just as attractive as anything the other Colonies can offer; and when they had tried their hands at mining, and became tired of it, they would quietly settle down to agricultural pursuits.

In making these observations and expressing my opinions upon the present position of the pastoral and agricultural interests-I mig·ht say interest, because the two are so closely combined that they are really one-I have no desire to trench improperly upon· anything wliich might be construed to be of a political character. My only objects are to show that the pastoral and agricultural settlers are not justly open to the charges of inertness, want of enterprise, and even laziness, which have been very frequently levelled at them; that they are helpless for the want of labour; and that the idea that gold and tin are the sole causes of the change in Tasmania's financial position is an exaggerated and fallacious idea, based upon conclusions arrived at without a due enquiry into and consideration of all the elements which have contributed to our present greatly improved condition. In my humble opinion the improved condition of the financial position of Tasmania at the present time, as compared with 10 or 12 years ago, owes more to the pastoral interest than to either gold or tin.·

Gold and tin have certainly worked a revolution in Launceston, hut I fail to perceive its beneficial and improving effects either in Hobart or throughout the country districts geuerally. In point of fact the country has been materially injured by the mining interest, inasmuch as it has absorbed many thousands of labourers who otherwise would have been employed in effecting improvements of a permanent character. There is only one thing now which could compensate the Agricultural and Pastoral interests for the injury the mines have inflicted upon them, and that would be the in1ro:­driction of a copious supply of labour. £100,000 expended in the introduction of labour would be a

7 far more productive investment for the Colony at the present time than the construction of Branch Railways. With a sufficient supply of labour, Branch Railways would follow as a matter of course.

It may be that my views are open to the charge of being tinged wit_h prejudice in this matter as regards the miner for gold and tin, and the settler, but I do not think so. Let any dispassionate person traverse the old country districts and see if ~e can discover what gold and tin has done for them up to the present time. If he is a man of observation I venture to say that the result of his observations and enquiries will be· that the only thing the- gold and tin discovery has done for the country settler has been to deprive him in .a great measure of -the scanty supply of labour he formerly possessed. · ·

The number of sheep imported during the past 12 months is 4] 0,474, and miles travelled by Inspectors, ] 2,370. What I have done personally I take no account of.

I have every reason to be satisfied with the manner in which the several Inspectors have yerformed their work, and can only express my regret that in deference to the behests of Parliament I have ·been compelled to frame my Estimates for 1883 one Inspector short of the present number.

I am of opinion that it is not a prudent reduction, but I am aware that any further remonstrance ,on my part would avail nothing. ·

The Returns of Sheep throughout the Island, and the names of the myners, will be found in .Appendix A. The other Appendices contain the calculations referred to in this Report.

. To some very probably the above may be considered an exaggerated estimate. It is not so, however. It is moderate in every ite_m, and is capable of proof if a number of settlers I could name would show me their books with their income from sheep, and their expenditure now as compared with former years anterior to the introduction of the Scab Act. · '

The average value of stud sheep annually exported from 1872 to 1879 inclusive amounts to £18,420. I think two-thirds of that amount may fairly be credited to the Scab Act, as without it there would have been no foreign market; and if that had been so, I do not think the home prices for stud sheep would have been sufficiently encouraging to the breeders to have induced them to improve and extend their flocks to the extent they have done during the last 10 years. Is. 3d.* per lb. is not a high value, I think, to put upon wool, taking one year with another; and as for the other items in the calculation, that they are even more moder&te most intelligent and observant sheepowners will -allow. Some, I am aware, will make no such admission, and stubbornly maintain that although the Act may have done some good it has not benefited them individually; that they cleaned their own sheep, as they dipped them themselves, &c., but ignoring the fact that the dipping was compulsory and, in very many cases, of the worst kind, under the direction and often under the supervision of Inspectors or other agents employed for that purpose.

JAMES WHYTE, Chief Inspector ef Sheep.

•The observations above were made last year. They are equally applicable now. I have reduced the calculated value of wool to ls. 2d. per lb., although I am not at all impressed with the idea that ls. 3d. was too much. I leave the increased value at 3d. per lb. as before, as I belleve that to be considerably under the mark.-J.W.

NoT•E.-'-The Customs returns show that in 1881 1306 stud sheep were shipped, valued at .£38,305. The amount, realised was much above the Customs value.-J.W.

APPENDIX C. A CALCUlATION of the principal mate1·ial Results whiclt may fairly be credited to tlie

operation of tlie Scab Act. THE quantity of wool annually expoi·ted prior to the introduction of the Scab Act was, on an average,

22 To the above may fairly be added a proportionate increase in value of all pastoral and agricultural

lands used for the production of wool and fat sheep to an extent, I may very safely say, of not less than 25 per c·ent; on the value of property in 1870; .

The other causes for which I have deducted one-fourth from the quantity of wool in excess of forme_r· years'·exports are-improvement in the quality of some flocks in the Colony, principally in the North; an, increase in, the num·ber. and quality of long~woolled sheep ; and an increase in the number of sheep. shorn in th·e grease. ·

The two first items are the only ones to which any weight can be attached, and much more fo the first tl1an the second. To the third I attach little or no importance. The fact is that a very large quantity of wool is passed through the Custom House only by the number of bales, without the exact weights ; in such cases the weight is assumed to be 300 lbs. per bale.

Formerly the number of bales of wool shipped varied from 15,000 to 16,000 and 17,000, or about an average of not more than 16,000 bales. Now 10,000 bales more on an average are shipped. I am there­fore of opinion that for_other causes I have deducted about 2,000,000 lbs. too much from No. 1 item.

On the third item, increased value of stud sheep exported, I might have placed £20,000 or £30,000 more.• .

My returns of value are from the Custom House ; a11d I know that, all round, exported stud sheep have realised much more than the value they were passed at through the Custom House. This is not the

· fault of the (Justoms Officers, but the fault of the shipper, who sends his sheep to town sometimes-without any instructi9ns to his agent as to value; and, consequently, sheep that may sell in New Zealand or else-where at fr9m £20 to £150 are put down by the agent at £5, £10, or £20, as the case may be. ·

No. 4 ftem·, the saving of labour formerly absolutely necessary on account of scab, is, I believe, -reasonably estimated.

No. 5"item is a very moderate calculation, if it is taken· into account that fat sheep now slaughtered average from 8 to 12 lbs. more per head than they did in 1870, and the meat is wholesome instead of being diseased.

JAMES WHYTE, Chief Inspector of Slteep.

• 1n 1881 stud sheep were !hipped to the value of £38,305 according to the Customs returns, but realised a considerably larger amount. The current year promises to be even more productive.
