UPPER SIND FRONTIER

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 782 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
UPPER SIND FRONTIER , a
district
  of British India, in the Sind province of Bombay, with administrative headquarters at Jacobabad. Area, 2621 sq. m. In the north-
east
  the country is hilly; the
remainder
  consists of a narrow strip of level plain, one half being covered with jungle and subject to inundation, from which it is protected by artificial embankments. The land is watered by canals from the Indus, of which the
chief
  are the Begari and Desert canals. The
district
  contains several thriving timber plantations. The climate is remarkable for its dryness and for its extraordinary variations of temperature. The annual rainfall at Jacobabad averages less than 5 in. In 1901 the population was 232,045, showing an increase of no less than 33% in the decade, chiefly due to immigration from
Baluchistan
 . The
principal
  crops are millets, oil-seeds, pulses, wheat and
rice
 . The internal
trade
  is principally in
grain
 , the greater part of which is sent to the sea-board; the transit
trade
  from Central
Asia
  into Sind crosses the district, bringing wool and woollen goods, fruits, carpets and horses. The district is crossed by the Quetta branch of the North-Western railway. The wild Baluchi inhabitants were pacified by General John Jacob between 1847 and his death in 1858.
