PERSONALIA. 



Mr. Charles S. Judd of Honolulu, a student of the class of 

 1907 in the Yale Forest School, has been appointed Special For- 

 est Agent in the Division of Forestry for a temporary period 

 during the summer. 



Mr. Judd will have charge of an investigation of the planted 

 forest on the lands of the Lihue Plantation Company and of 

 Grove Farm at Lihue, Kauai. Careful measurements will be 

 made of the trees on sample areas in stands of varying age to se- 

 cure data as to the growth in size and height of the trees grow- 

 ing thereon. The figures obtained will serve as the basis for a 

 report on forest planting in the Territory, which it is expected 

 will be issued during the coming year as a Bulletin of the Division 

 of Forestrv'. The data obtained at Lihue will permit the prepara- 

 tion of vield and volume tables showing what owners of land 

 generallv similar in situation, soil and aspect to that at Lihue 

 may expect from forest plantations. 



The employment of Mr. Judd to take charge of this investiga- 

 tion is in line with the usage of the United States Forest Service

 work.
