PLAN ANIMAI POPULATION ~NCREAS~ -- Yang-thou, Su-psi Jih-peo, 30 Aug 50
Tv increase farm animals, a livestock crossbreeding station was set up
in each special administrative district in Ncrth Kiangsu. The war and calam-
ities have reduced the animal population in North Kisngsu from 700,000 before
the war to 400,000 at present.
To increase and improve the quality and breed of farm animals, the North
Kiangau Administrative Office has also set up a livestock breeding center in
Ssu-yang Hsien. The livestock crossbreeding stations were net up in Yen-ch'-
eng, T'ai-being, at~1 Huai-yin haiens. Each livestock crossbreeding station
has five head of breeding stock which will be used to crossbreed with the far-
mers' livestock.
INOCULATES 40,439 IN PEI CHI.9NG -- Canton, Nan-fang Jih-pao, 23 Oct 50
Pei-Chiang -- The antiplague unit of the Livestock Protection and Breed-
ing Office, Kwangtung People's government, has inoculated 40,439 head of farm
animals in the Pei-Chiang area of Kwangtung in a 5-month period ending 1 Octo-
ber 1950.
The unit Faced considerable difficulties at first due to vastness of the
area sad poor transportation facilities, Collecting the animals for inocula-
tion was an enormous problem. Besides, many farmers ~?~ere reluctant to have
their cattle inoculated with "rabbit-?ized" (t'u-hua (1) ~umbera refer to ap-
pended character] plague vaccines. Some KMT special agents tried to obstruct
the unit's work. Many farmers thought their livestock would be confiscated
or taxed if they were brought in to be inoculated. In addition, the outbreaks
of epizootic diseases in scattered areas slowed dawn the work.
Despite all these obstacles, the unit continued its work diligently and
propagandized the beneficial aspects of inoculations to farmers. They strived
to inoculate as many animals as possible. In many instances, the unit had to
travel 4 or 5 li to inoculate only 5 or o' head of cattle. The unit, however,
succeeded_in inoculating 40,439 head in the 5-month period. The original plan
called for inoculation of only 10,000 head during this period.
Of the total, preventive inoculations were given to 7,560 head in Weng-
yuan AeiPn. 6.031 in Nan-hsiung Hsien, 14,006 in Lien Hsien, and 5,992 in Ch'u-
chiang Hsien. In the disease-outbreak areas, preventive inoculations or
tree*,meuts were gtvcu to 3,115 head in Fo-kang Hsien, 407 in Ying-te Hsien
173 in Ch'ing-yuan Hsien, sad 154 in Shih-being Hsien.

CONFIDEP~ r SAL
The ''rabbit-ized" plague vaccine inoculation is simple, effective, and
produces no aftereffects. The injection of one cubic centimeter of the vac-
cine in each animal will immunize the cattle against rinderpest fora year.
Besides, the cattle can work in the field immediately after inoculation with
no aftereffects.
