Special Meeting of October 14. 



C. S. Judd, president, and J. M. Dowsett and H. AI. von Holt, 

 members, were present. 



Mr. Dowsett presented a resolution in regard to the Alediter- 

 ranean fruit fly situation, which was imanimously adopted. Its 

 preamble stated the danger of having Hawaiian fruit importation 

 jjrohibited in California, and the need of greater efforts to control 

 the invasion of the fly. It was resolved that W. M. Giffard of 

 Honolulu be appointed an honorary member of the committee on 

 entomology, with power to inaugurate and undertake a campaign 

 of systematic clean culture to reduce the attack of the Mediter- 

 ranean fruit fly, he to recommend for appointment the necessary 

 number of inspectors to carry on the campaign and enforce such 

 rules and regulations as might from time to time be adopted, 

 he also to employ the services of an experienced economic en- 

 tomologist or entomologists to search for natural enemies or 

 effective parasites to combat the Mediterranean fruit fly. 



It was further resolved to forward a copy of the above-men- 

 tioned resolution by the first outgoing mail to the California State 

 Commissioners of Horticulture, notifving them that $8750 had 

 been provided by the government of Hawaii toward the expenses 

 of this campaign, in expectation that the California commissioners 

 would arrange for a like amount, making a total of $17,500. the 

 amount estimated as sufficient to carry on the campaign until more 

 funds could be provided by next Legislature of Hawaii. 



It was voted to publish a notice, in form submitted, to shi])- 

 j-ers of pineapples and bananas informing them that the Cali- 

 fornia State Commission of Horticulture had notified this board 

 that after October 31, .1911, and until further notice shipments 

 of fresh pineapples and bananas packed in Ililo grass and banana 

 leaves would be refused entry into California, but that pineapples 

 and bananas packed in excelsior, rice straw, paper, crates or sacks 

 would be accepted for the present.
