THE }HAWAIIAN 



F0RE5TER i AGRICULTURIST 



Vol. XII. JANUARY, 1914. No. 1 



NEW PRESIDENT OF BOARD. 



j\Ir. Albert Waterhouse has succeeded Mr. W. i\I. Giffard as 

 President of the Board of Agriculture and Forestry. He has 

 been one of the most active members of the Board for several 

 years past. Mr. GitTard remains a member of the Board of Com- 

 missioners. 



NEW FORESTRY SUPERINTENDENT. 



. Mr. C. S. Judd assumed office as Superintendent of Forestry, 

 in succession to Mr. Ralph S. Hosmer, now head of Yale Forest 

 School, early in January. He is also the executive officer of the 

 Board of Agriculture and Forestry. Mr. Judd has had years of 

 experience in the Federal forest service, besides a short term in 

 special forest work in Hawaii between separate engagements on 

 the mainland, and being of Honolulu birth and early education his 

 appointment as head of the Division of Forestry was received 

 with special gratification. 



MUNICIPAL MILK INSPECTION. 



Mavor Lane, the board of supervisors approving, has de- 

 clined to cooperate with the board of agriculture and forestry 

 in the work of milk inspection. He has appointed his brotlier 

 as inspector, instead of Mr. Richard, who has been in the em- 

 ploy of the board of agriculture and forestry since his removal 

 by the former mayor from the position. The mayor has prom- 

 ised that he will see that the inspection is thorough. On the 

 other hand, Dr. \Vayson, city and county physician, has taken 

 the ground in a published interview — -if correctly quoted — that 

 the municipal dairy inspector has nothing to do with the in- 

 spection of milk but only of dairies. Further, he is reported as 

 saying that the inspector is not required to have any technical 

 training, also that the office has existed since 1911. Surely the 

 city and county physician had never taken the trouble to read.
