such data as above referred to will be at hand for it is of in- 

 estimable value to the feeder as a basis for estimating his profit 

 or loss. Unless he knows the actual cost of his feed and, in 

 the case of grain, its market value as such and also the amount 

 of pork a certain amount of such feed will produce, he is in the 

 dark and it might be costing him fifty cents to produce that for 

 which he is only receiving twenty-seven cents. 



We confidently expect to see a larger number of breeders enter 

 stock in these contests next year, as it is through such means 

 that breeders can best demonstrate their ability to supply the 

 demands of this Territorv with a high class article.

In his speech on the occasion of the inauguration of Hon. C. J. 

 McCarthy as Governor of Hawaii on July 22, 1918, Hon. Frank- 

 lin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior, said in part as follows : 



"When the old kings gave up their lands to their chiefs they 

 ran the property lines from the sea to the mountain. This was 

 their easiest and perhaps their only way of dividing the lands. 

 It has, however, a peculiar suggestion for us. Those who live 

 in lower altitudes need the change in air that comes with the 

 ascent to the mountains, and I am in hope that out of your pub- 

 lic lands, and out of the generosity of those who have so much 

 and have given so much toward public purposes in this terri- 

 tory, there will be reserved on every island mountain a public 

 park where those may resort who come from the lands belov/, 

 where the transient may pass the night, or those who wish may 

 have their cottages, which should be held under license which 

 will prevent the park from becoming absorbed into private owner- 

 ship. As the man of wealth now wisely has his hill house and 

 his seaside house, so should there be reserved for those of more 

 modest means some opportunity to gain the advantages of the 

 rarer, cooler air of higher altitudes. This, however, should not 

 be attempted at haphazard, but under plans carefully thought 

 out and under a management and control that will be wise, inde- 

 pendent and public spirited." 



This Board has attempted to plan out just such a scheme in 

 the high mountain region back of the Waimea Canyon on lands 

 in the Na Pali-Kona Forest Reserve, Kauai, which came into the 

 control of the Board last December by lease expiration and is 

 now prepared to issue temporary permits of not more than five 

 years' duration for camping privileges under certain terms and 

 conditions.
