 CULTURE AND FORESTRY. 



The Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry of the Terri-

 purpose of controlling insect pests and plant diseases in the Territory of 

 Hawaii : 



Section 1. No infested or infected plant, fruit, melon, vegetable, or 

 root, shall be carried, transported or shipped from any one island in this 

 Territory to any other island in this Territory, if the infestation or infection 

 is of such a character or extent as to endanger the agriculture or plant life 

 of the other island. 



Section 2. No sugar cane or other plant, or part thereof, shall be car- 

 ried, transported, or shipped from the island of Oahu to any other island in 

 this Territory unless it has been first examined and, when found necessary, 

 fumigated by, or under the supervision of, the Chief Plant Inspector or his 

 assistants, and properly tagged and certified by any such officer, to the best 

 of his knowledge, to be free from insect pests and plant diseases of danger 

 to the agriculture or plant life of the other islands. 



Section 3. No taro, lily root, tuber, or root shall be carried, transported 

 or shipped from the island of Oahu to any other island in this Territory 

 unless it is free from soil, except as hereinafter provided, and has been 

 first examined and, when found necessary, fumigated by or under the super- 

 vision of the Chief Plant Inspector or his assistants and properly tagged 

 and certified by any such officer, to the best of his knowledge, to be free 

 from insect pests and plant diseases of danger to agriculture or plant life 

 of the other islands. 



Section 4. No soil, earth, or sand attached to any plant, except as 

 hereinafter provided, or any other soil, earth, or sand (except clean beach 

 sand in bulk), shall be carried, transported, or shipped from the island of 

 Oahu to any other island in this Territory, except that soils, in sufficient 

 quantity to provide inoculation with beneficial soil organisms, which have 

 first been screened or thoroughly examined by the Chief Plant Inspector or 

 his assistants, may be so carried, transported, or shipped when properly 

 tagged and certified by any such officer, to the best of his knowledge, to be 

 free from insect pests and plant diseases of danger to the agriculture or 

 plant life of the other islands. 



Section 5. Upon written application to the Chief Plant Inspector and 

 upon the approval of the Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and For- 

 estry, a special permit may be issued by the Chief Plant Inspector to ship 

 from the island of Oahu to any other island in the Territory a limited num- 

 ber of plants in soil when it has been shown in said application that such 

 plants are novelties and are of value to agriculture, horticulture, or forestry 

 and that such plants cannot be successfully transported in any other manner; 

 provided, however, that such plants have, to the knowledge and satisfaction 

 of the Chief Plant Inspector, been grown in sterilized soil in quarantine or 

 transplanted into sterilized soU and held, up to the time of shipment, ander 

 such conditions as would provide reasonable precautions against infestation 

 by insect pests or infection by plant diseases. The Chief Plant Inspector 

 may, in his discretion, subject such shipment to fumigation.
