THE HAWAIIAN FORESTER 

 AND AGRICULTURIST 



Vol. XV. Honolulu, November, 1918. No. 11 



A perusal of the live stock sanitary laws of the states and 

 territories on the mainland indicates that Hawaii stands high in 

 the character of such laws and in their enforcement. 



Koa trees are being used by the Division of Forestry in re- 

 foresting the bare areas which were formerly covered with this 

 tree at Kolekole Pass in the Waianae Range, Oahu. 



The Forest Nurseryman distributed a total of 10,500 trees 

 for planting throughout the islands on Arbor Day, which this 

 year was celebrated on November 22. 



Now that the tree planting season has arrived, the Forest 

 Nurseryman is busily engaged in sending out large orders of 

 trees mainly to the plantation companies. 



It is noted in the report of the Chief Plant Inspector that 

 wheat from Australia and rice from Siam have recently been 

 imported to meet the demands for food in this Territory. 



The Division of Plant Inspection has assisted in the saving 

 of food by lending its fumigating facilities to rid rice, barley, 

 wheat, corn, beans and rice bran of infestation. 



Kahoolawe is to be leased again, but only under conditions 

 which will assure the revegation of the island which has been 

 much maltreated in the past by overgrazing. 



A publication on the corn leaf-hopper describing this pest and 

 the beneficial insects which prey upon it, prepared by Entomol- 

 ogist D. T. Fullaway, will soon be issued with illustrations as 

 Bulletin No. 4 of the Division of Entomology. 



The proposed setting apart as a forest reserve of over 20,000 

 acres of ohia forest in Olaa, Hawaii, to prevent its becoming a 

 waste of dead trees and Hilo grass is a step in the right direc- 

 tion of conservation.
