Forest Plantiii'^, Kida, Maui. 

 In connection with the tree phmting reciuirements of Leases 

 Nos. 742 and 743 of the Land Office for the lands in the Kula 

 District. Maui, known as Waiakoa, Alae 3-4, and WaiohuH, 

 Keokoa mauka tracts, a detailed planting' plan was drawn up by 

 the Superintendent of Forestry and delivered early in Decem- 

 ber to Mr. A. M. Brown, the lessee, and to Mr. Pia Cockett, the 

 manager of the Cornwell Ranch. The leases require that ap- 

 proximately 100 trees be planted for each acre in these two tracts. 

 The plan outlines how this work shall be done, and gives direc- 

 tions as to the several steps in the process. 



Exhibit at Poultry Sliozv. 



At the annual exhibition of the Hawaiian Poultry Association 

 held December 13 to 16, 1911, the Division of Forestry had an 

 exhibition of seedling trees of various kinds and in different 

 stages, of forest reserve maps and of island woods, the latter 

 being the collection got together for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific 

 Exposition at Seattle in 1909. 



Proposed Forest Plan tin i^ at Aica. 

 On December 13, 1911, I visited the Honolulu plantation at 

 Aiea to inspect the forest planting being done by that corpora- 

 tion on lands leased from the P>ishop Estate and to confer with 

 the manager, Mr. James Gibb, in regard to a proposition to plant 

 with forest trees a part of the government land of Aiea within 

 the Ewa forest reserve. A report on this suliject was submitted 

 to the Board later in the month. 



Proposed Forest Reserzrs. 

 On December 19, in company with Mr. Walter E. Wall, gov- 

 ernment surveyor, I visited the government land of Kidiouon on 

 this Island, to determine the boundary of a proposed forest re- 

 serve at its mauka end. This matter will be brought before the 

 Board in due course. During the month progress has been made 

 on other pending forest reserve projects, more particularly the 

 proposed reserves on Molokai and on the Waianac hills, Oahu. 



Plantation Tree Plantin^i:;. 

 During December several additional large orders have been 

 placed by sugar ])lantalion companies for tree seedlings for for- 

 est planting. Mr. Haughs' report gives tlic details of Ihe ])lants
