THE HAWAIIAN FORESTER 

 AND AGRICULTURIST 



Vol. XVI. Honolulu, July, 1919. No. 7 



Attention is called to the notice, published in this issue, of tlie 

 Chief Plant Inspector concerning the new federal plant quaran- 

 tine. 



On July 1 the shipment of cattle interstate without having them 

 properly tuberculin tested was prohibited — with a few exceptions 

 — by a regulation issued by the Secretary of Agriculture. 



The Superintendent of Forestry will begin his cource of lec- 

 tures on elementary forestry and the Hawaiian forests on or 

 about August 1, at the Territorial Summer School which has 

 been opened at Kilauea, Hawaii. 



A report of the activities of the four divisions of this Board, 

 during the fiscal year ended June 30, is contained in this issue. 

 This was prepared for the use of the Governor in submitting his 

 annual report to the Secretary of the Interior. 



Rule XVm of the Division of Entomology has been amended 

 further to permit the shipment of pineapple crowns, slips and 

 suckers from Honolulu to the Island of Hawaii, where, at Kohala, 

 a new pineapple industry is about to be started. The prohibi- 

 tion against the shipment of pineapple stumps still remains in 

 effect. The amended rule is printed in this issue. 



Members of the Division of Forestry are on the watch for koa 

 seed, but with little success as yet. While some pods have devel- 

 oped this summer, it has been discovered that the moth borer is 

 already on the job, like the proverbial early worm, and has rid- 

 dled most of the seeds which the pods contain. 



Of the total number of 48 camp sites surveyed out at Kokec, 

 in the Na Pali-Kona Forest Reserve, Kauai, 26 have been taken 

 under 10-year camping permits by recreationists who have already 

 begun to enjoy the refreshing climate of that delightful, high- 

 mountain region.
