taken by the military ])eoi>le at the different ])osts. Tlieir 

 eager inquiries regarding the planting and care of trees is a 

 guarantee that the trees will get the best of attention. 



The applications for trees from people living in and around 

 Honolulu has increased over 100 and the total distril>utir)ii of 

 pot-grown plants over 3000 since last Arbor Day. 



The demand for trees for school grounds has been less this 

 year than for former years. This may be accounted for by the 

 fact that for a num])er of years we have been sending trees to 

 the schools and the grounds of most of them are now suffi- 

 ciently stocked and do not require more. 



The voluntary aid given l)y the various newspapers in Ho- 

 nolulu and on the other islands in publishing articles in regard 

 to Arbor Day has greatly helped us in making the day a suc- 

 cess. We wish to take this opportunity to convey our thanks 

 to all of the newspapers which kindly published articles and 

 in other ways assisted us in notifying the general public of 

 our ol)ject.
