was found desirable to add the adjacent 13-acre tract of land to the 

 nursery and a request was made of the Commissioner of Public Lands 

 to have this area set aside by Executive Order for the use by this 

 Board for this purpose. Conferences with representatives of the Hilo 

 Board of Trade and County Supervisors brought forth opinions in favor 

 of this plan. A possible new site for a plant fumigation building near 

 Kuhio wharf was examined. Personal instructions were given to Kanger 

 Harry L. Denison concerning his new foresl: work in the Kohala moun- 

 tains. An examination of the area at 29 Miles treated for the fern 

 weevil disclosed the presence of a very few weevils in the center of the 

 infection, but none on the borders. These few were found on young 

 sadleria fern sprouts and were at once destroyed. Eanger Mackenzie 

 was instructed to watch out for these and to destroy all young fern 

 sprouts as soon as discovered. A long conference was held with Ranger 

 Mackenzie on the work in his district and the details for the recon- 

 struction of the ranger cabin on the Koa Grove lot at 29 Miles were 

 discussed. With the Land Commissioner I also went over the boundary 

 of a proposed addition to the National Park near the Volcano House, 

 at the request of the Park authorities. 



Several trips were made during the month to the Pupukea Forest 

 Reserve on Oahu with a Government surveyor to determine the loca- 

 tion of certain boundary borders preparatory to setting up permanent 

 monuments and starting co-operative tree planting. 



Work w^as started on the thinning out of several ironwood trees on 

 the road in Nuuanu leading to the Pali. These were crowding out other 

 more desirable trees, and on account of their size were in danger of 

 falling and becoming a menace to trafBbc. 



The last few days of the month were spent partly in preparation for 

 the July trip to Kauai, which was planned for the purpose of investi- 

 gating several forest matters, and starting the Kokee Campers in 

 properly. 



Respectfully submitted,
