KAHULUI INSPECTION, 



Mr. Will Cooper, Plant Inspector for Maui, reports the ar- 

 rival of six vessels at the port of Kahului, three of which carried 

 vegetable matter consisting of 11 lots and 144 packages, all of 

 which were found to be free from pests. 



INTER-ISLAND INSPECTION, 



Forty-seven steamers plying between Honolulu and other 

 Island ports were attended and the following shipments were 

 passed as free from pests : 



Taro 349 bags 



Vegetables 218 packages 



Fruit 341 packages 



Plants 7Z packages 



Sugar cane transshipped 250 bags 



' Total passed 1221 packages 



Two packages fruit, three packages plants and one hundred bags 

 cane seed were refused shipment on account of infestation and 

 undesirable soil. 



Through an oversight on the part of the Inter-Island Steam 

 Navigation Company, 100 bags of cane seed were allowed aboard 

 one of their freight boats without our certificate, and this cane 

 came from Ewa Plantation, which, with Oahu and Honolulu 

 Plantations, is placed in a quarantine area on account of the 

 Anomala beetle. We notified the shippers and the consignee 

 (Kohala Plantation) to either return or destroy the shipment. 

 As the shipment had already arrived at the plantation, the man- 

 ager had the hundred bags burned in the furnace. 



Respectfully submitted, 



E. M. Ehrhorn, 

 Chief Plant Inspector.
