APPENDIX. 



On October 10 I left for Kahului to represent the Divisions of En- 

 tomology and Plant Inspection at the Maui Fair. Our exhibit was a com- 

 bination affair and attracted many visitors. Much information regarding 

 injurious pests was given and the necessity of plant inspection was thor- 

 oughly demonstrated by various exhibits showing dangerous pests which 

 were taken on plants and in soil arriving from foreign countries. 



Early in the month Ave received the first declaration blanks for carrying 

 out Notice of Quarantine No. 51 of the Federal Horticultural Board per- 

 taining to Coastwise baggage inspection. Notice was sent to those Steam- 

 ship Companies of coastwise steamers carrying passengers from Pacific 

 Coast ports, Avith a copy of the regulations and a sample of the baggage 

 declaration. The Pursers of each steamer Avill be furnished the necessary 

 blanks for baggage declaration and already several returning steamers are 

 so furnished. Arrangement has also been made Avith the U. S. Public 

 Health service and the Collector of Port to assist our inspectors in trans- 

 portation to and from incoming vessels as they arrive off port, so that as 

 far as Ave noAv can judge, all Avill be in readiness to carry out the ucav 

 Federal Regulation. 



Respectfully submitted,

Chief Plant Insiiector.
