Last Tirhoot agricultural prospects good for most crops, except lowland rice, wherein some failure expected. I have investigated Tirhoot grain supplies with the various subdivisional officers. Total allotment barely sufficient for whole district, but supplement can be arranged. I have been obliged to strengthen Mudhoobunee and Mozufferpore by transferring 12,000 tons from less distressed sectainare. Have conferred with collector about Chumparun supply, which may prove more than enough. Relief labourers leaving works for agriculture and private employments. Sales of grain to public increasing, and advance to ryots after inquiry village by village, zemindars giving security and generally behaving well. I have visited many relief circles, and am satisfied that organisation reaches every village. Relief establishments complete. Much evidence, official and non-official, to improved appearance of people since relief began.” No deaths from starvation ascertained to have occurred since last telegram. Total of proved deaths, 22. _________________ Barb, Ontario, Canada.
