TRIP TO MAUI. 



From April 23 to April 30 I was on the Island of ]\Iaui, en- 

 gaged in making an inspection of forest planting in localities in 

 which the Territory has a more or less distinct interest. 



At Wailuku I arranged with Mr. H. B. Penhallow, manager 

 of the Wailuku Sugar Company, details in regard to the planting 

 of a portion of the government land of Polipoli, set apart last 

 year as a part of the West Maui forest reserve. I also had a 

 general look at the planting which the Wailuku Sugar Company 

 has been carrying on on its private lands on the lower slopes of 

 the hills above its cane fields, back of Wailuku. The notable 

 thing here is the excellent start which both iron wood and 

 eucalyptus seedlings, planted out over a year ago, are making on 

 the bare, eroding slopes, especially on the south side of lao X'allcy. 

 Not only are the little trees doing well but small as they are, 

 leaves and forest litter are already beginning to collect under 

 them, helping to hold the soil in the little gullies and check the 

 daiuage from wash. This is work of high value which cannot 

 but re])ay the plantation com])any in years to come. In addition 

 to the .strictly protective belts, ]\lr. Penhallow is also doing con- 

 sideral)le ])lanting on algaroba and cucaly])tus with the object of 

 securing a fuel sujjply for the i)lantation. In all 11,400 trees 

 were planted at Wailuku in P)ll.

Next I spent several days in the Koolau district carefully going 

 over the forest jjlanting work now in progress along the ditch 

 systems controlled by the Alexander & Pjaldwin interests. This 

 planting, for the most part on government land, is being done
