REPORT FOR OCTOBER. 



Honolulu, Hawaii, October 31, 1918. 



Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry, 

 Honolulu, T. H. 



Gentlemen : — I beg to submit herewith my report on the work 

 of the Division of Animal Industry for the month of Otcober, 

 1918. 



forage poisoning. 



During the latter part of this month the Deputy Territorial 

 Veterinarian for Maui reported that four mules had died in one 

 of the plantation stables on that island, with symptoms of cere- 

 bro spinal meningitis. He also forwarded samples of corn stover 

 which had been fed in the said stables and which had been grown 

 at Haiku. 



An examination of this corn stover showed both stalks and 

 leaves to be heavily infested with mold fungi, and this undoubt- 

 edly must be considered the cause of the death of these mules. 



Forage poisoning, caused by moldy corn, has been very pre- 

 valent throughout the United States this fall, practically all the 

 states in the corn belt reporting heavy losses from the disease.
