✨ Marlborough Sheep Returns
1879.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1381
Sheep Inspector's Office, Blenheim.
SIR, — I have the honor to furnish my report for the
year ended 31st December, 1878, and enclose return,
being the only one which the law at that date re-
quired, of the number of sheep actually shorn in the
District of Marlborough during that period.
From this it will be seen that the total number of
sheep shorn was 707,100, as against a total of
681,144 in the previous year.
I anticipate the returns which I shall forward you
under the new Act will show a considerable increase,
from the fact that all sheep above three months old
will be included therein.
During the year 1878, 14,420 sheep were intro-
duced into the district overland from the Amuri and
Canterbury Province, 1,500 were exported to Nelson,
and about 25,000 were absorbed by provincial
consumption and boiling-down.
The lambing during the year was very poor, and
did not exceed an average of 30 per cent.
The principal part of the district being of a nature
ill adapted to the surface sowing of English grasses,
but little was done hitherto in this respect. A con-
siderable outlay in fencing has been caused, conse-
quent upon "The Sheep Act, 1878," coming into
force, which will doubtless have most beneficial
results.
The average number of sheep clean during the year
would not exceed 50,000, which shows little or no
marked improvement as compared with the previous
four years.
I have, &c.,
R. H. JOHNSON,
Chief Inspector.
The Hon. the Colonial Secretary.
RETURN OF SHEEP Shorn in the Sheep District
