MAKIKI STATION. 



The work at this station has been principally routine, which consists of 

 sterilizing and mixing soil, transplanting and potting plants, sawing-up 

 wood, making boxes, etc. 



HONOLULU WATERSHED PLANTING. 



The work done on the Avatershed consisted in making holes for trees, 

 hoeing and clearing. About 3,000 koa trees are about ready at our nurserj- 

 at the base of Sugar Loaf hill and 1,000 more at Makiki Station. We in- 

 tend planting these in Opu Valley, where the holes are dug and ready for 

 them. 



The making of charcoal from the trees which were blown down during 

 the last wind storm looks promising. About 50 bags of good-looking char- 

 coal are ready for the market.
