modify the existing regulations of quarantine on certain fruits 

 and vegetables which it may be necessary to transport from one 

 infested island or district to another. 



The Board recognizing this fact submitted a request to the 

 Governor to amend Regulations X, XIV and XV^ pertaining to 

 the sanitary horticultural conditions in Honolulu, Hawaii and 

 Alaui. P^inal action has been temporarily delayed due to the fact 

 that it is the desire of the administration to embody the above 

 three regulations into one, which, under present conditions as to 

 infestation, will now better answer the purpose of the Board. 



Respectfully submitted, 



W. M. GiFFARD, 



Director, Fruit Fly Campaign, T. H.

REPORT FOR JUNE. 



Hon. \\ . Ai. GilYard. President and Executive Officer, 

 Board of Agriculture and Forestry. 



Sir : — I beg to report on the work of the Division of Animal 

 Industry for the month of June, as follows : 



Tuberculosis Control Work. — A comparatively small number of 

 cattle have been tested during the month, the prolonged drouth 

 having made it impossible to finish this important undertaking. 

 There still remain about 2000 head of cattle, all range stock, to 

 be tested and wdth the coming of the bean season, which promises 

 an unusually heavy crop, it is expected that the remaining herds 

 can be gathered and tested. In the meantime all reacting animals 

 have been removed from the dairy herds and the milk supply of 

 the city can safely be pronounced free from tuberculosis infection. 



Iniportatioii, Inspection mid Quarantine. — As w'ill be seen from 

 the detail report hereto appended, a large number of live stock, 

 especially horses and mules, arrived from the mainland, one 

 steamer alone bringing 136 head. Fortunately most of the horse 

 stock came from the Central and X^orthwestern States and were 

 shipped via Portland ; otherwise it is doubtful whether the Quar- 

 antine Station would have been large enough to accommodate 

 them all. A considerable number of brood mares, destined for 

 Maui, were allowed to finish their quarantine period on that 

 island under the supervision of the local representative of this 

 office. With the exception of a few cases of influenza and ship- 

 ping fever, all the animals arrived in good condition.
