THE jHAWAIIAN 



FORESTER I AGRICULTURIST 



Vol. XII. AUGUST, 1915. No. 8 



The Wood Waste Exchange of the federal department of 

 agriculture appears to be an exceedingly important economic fac- 

 tor. Perhaps the workshops here using the beautiful Hawaiian 

 hardwoods might make something out of it, therefore a press 

 notice of the institution is elsewhere printed. 



In his report for July the Territorial veterinarian explains an 

 error in his July report, which did some injustice to both Aloku- 

 leia ranch and Pond's dairy. 



Dr. Norgaard, in reference to hog cholera, repeats in his report 

 for June the advice of former reports with regard to feeding and 

 sanitation as the best preventives of disease in herds of swine. 



Results of the initial campaign against bovine tuberculosis on 

 Hawaii, "the big island." are highly encouraging. 



It is to be hoped that the efforts of the Territorial veterinarian 

 to procure a visit to the Territory by the chief of the Bureau of 

 Animal Industry, Washington, D. C, will be successful. Dr. 

 Norgaard's attendance at the national convention of veterinarians 

 in Oakland this month, which has been arranged for, will do 

 much to put Hawaii on the animal industry map of the Union 

 as well as brings valuable returns to these islands. 



Three pests were nabbed by Entomologist Ehrhorn in June, 

 outside of various lots of contraband plants wdiich he had either 

 destroyed or returned. It would seem that there is no end to the 

 ignorance, prevailing in foreign parts, of United States regula- 

 tions forbidding the entrance of fruit and vegetable stuff' in bag- 

 gage and mails. 



The new edition of Mr. Rock's book on Hawaiian forests wdll 

 be awaited with keen interest here and abroad. 



Results of fencing the Territorial forest reserves have been so 

 obviously profitable that expenditures on that account must be re- 

 garded as amons: the soundest of investments.
