In 1930, another proclamation on the service in the Ministry of Agriculture
was issued, confirming the addition of Fisheries and Forestry
to the five departments named earlier, which still continued in the Ministry.
As of 1958, the basic structure of the Ministry remained substantially
the same. It still had seven major departments, but it had lost
three and gained three. The departments of Mines, Land Survey, and
Land Registry had been transferred elsewhere. The Department of
Cultivation had, after several changes, been split into two departments,
Agriculture and Rice. A new Department of Animal Husbandry was
added in 1943, and the Agricultural University was created in 1952.
The twenty year of revolutionary change which followed had scarcely
made as much difference to the Ministry as the twenty years preceding
1930.
