DIVISION OF FORESTRY. 



REPORT or SUPERINTENDENT OF FORESTRY, NOVEMBER, 1920. 



Honolulu, Docembor 9, 1920. 



Board of Coimuissioners of Agriculture and Forestry," Honolulu, Hawaii. 



Gentlemen: — ^I respectfully submit the following routine report of the 

 Division of Forestry for the month of November, 1920: 



TREE PLANTING. 



During the month a total of .3,777 trees w^as set out as follows: On 

 Tantalus on the Honolulu Watershed Reserve 407 koa trees were set out 

 as replants in fail places and at Mikilua on the lAialualei Reserve there 

 were planted out <S77 red mahogany (E. resinifera), 797 Australian red 

 cedar, 616 trees of a species of Ficus from Johore, India, 492 Cook pine 

 (Araucaria Cookii), as w^ell as 490 red mahogany and 98 koa replants. 



Inspections were made of the IVIikilua plantings on November 5 and 20, 

 and it was found that in spite of dry w^eather the plantings on the whole 

 are suecessful. Some of the eucalyptus species such as the bloodwood 

 (E. corsonbosa) and red gum (E. rostrata) are doing well where nothing 

 else will succeed. During a dry season seedlings of the latter have made 

 a height growth of 7 feet in five months. 



Operations on the Waiahole Reserve, Oahu, w^ere confined during the 

 month to the weeding and cultivation of trees already planted and the 

 digging of holes for new trees. The plantings w^ere inspected on No- 

 vember 22, and it w^as found that practically all of the trees were doing 

 well and showing good grow^th. The 550 kauri pine trees set out earlier 

 in the year wuth a spacing of 10 by 10 feet are now^ 2 feet high and in a 

 flourishing condition. The narra (Pterocarpus indicus) and molave 

 (Vitex parviflora) from the Philippines are doing w-ell and a few seed- 

 lings of the native bastard sandalwood, naio (Myoporum sandwicensis) 

 are showing excellent growth. 



At the request of Representative Norman K. Lyman a plan was drawn 

 up and submitted to him for the establishment of a coconut grove at 

 Kalapana Park, Puna, Haw^aii. 



On November 27, a package containing 7 lbs. of seed of the Chaul- 

 moogra oil tree (Hydnocarpus anthelminticus) of Siam was received from 

 Mr. Rock. A small quantity w^as sent to the nurseries on the other 

 islands for propagation while the bulk was sown at the Government 

 Nursery so as to produce seedlings for the establishmennit of this valuable 

 tree on Oahu. 



F0RE8T PROTECTION. 



Ranger Harrv L. Denison reports ^hat there is no immediate need for 

 the construction of the additional fence on the Waika-Kawaihae I 

 boundary in the Kohala Mt. Forest Reserve, Haw^aii, because the
