Gentlemen : — I have the honor to submit herewith a brief re- 

 port covering the activities of the Division of Plant Inspection 

 during the calendar year 1919. 



The work performed by the Chief Plant Inspector and his as- 

 sistants during this period consisted of the following: 



1. The general insi)ection and supervision of all fruit, vege- 

 table, plant and seed shipments arriving in the Territory from 

 the mainland of the United States and from foreign countries in 

 order to prevent the introduction of insect pests and plant dis- 

 eases which are injurious to agricultural interests in those coun- 

 tries. 



2. The inspection of fruits, vegetables and plants, including 

 sugar cane, taro, and lily root used for consumption, which are 

 shipped from the Port of Honolulu to all ports of the other

 possible, the spread of any insect pest or plant disease accidentally 

 introduced on Oahu, of which Honolulu i,s the port of entry, to 

 any of the other islands.
