THE HAWAIIAN FORESTER 

 AND AGRICULTURIST 



Vol. XV. Honolulu, October, 1918. No. 10 



In the forest planting being undertaken on the slopes of 

 the Waianae Mountains, Oahu, a variety of trees of a xero- 

 philous nature will be tried out in order to determine those 

 which are best suited for this dry region. 



The Government Nursery is supplying trees at a generous 

 rate to those who desire them for reforestation purposes. 



The Division of Plant Inspection fumigated 2707 bags of 

 rice, corn, corn flour and rolled oats for local merchants dur- 

 ing August and thus saved for human consumption a quantity 

 of foodstuffs which otherwise would have been lost. 



The supplementary rules of the Territorial Veterinarian 

 for the anthrax-infected area on Kauai, printed in this issue, 

 will enable the local veterinarians to prevent the spread of this 

 disease in the most efficient manner. 



Division of Forestry 



Honolulu, Hawaii, Sept. 14, 1918. 



Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry, Honolulu. 



Gentlemen : — I respectfully submit the following routine re- 

 port of the Division of Forestry for the month of August, 1918: 



FOREST FENCING. 



The new fence on the boundaries, where needed, of the addi- 

 tion recently made to the Makawao forest reserve, Maui, was 

 completed on August 31, under the direction of Ranger Lindsay, 

 together with repairs to the existing old fence. 



A part of the old fence on one side of the right-of-way leading 

 from Lualualei over Kolekole Pass to Waianae-uka, Oahu, was 

 shifted near the trail so as to afford greater area for tree planting. 



On August 20 work was begun on the construction of a fence 

 on a part of the boundary of the new Waiahole forest reserve.
