States are not in evidence. Reference is, however, made to various 
experiments which are being carried on in the introduction of trees 
and shrubs from other countries, so probably these are included. _ 
The co-operation of government and private landowners im 
afforestation is advocated, and apparently, with this end in view, the 
Division strives to inculcate a love for trees and a desire for forest 
conservation in the minds of the general public, for trees are 
distributed free from government nurseries to planters of small 
numbers and at a trifling cost to those who plant on a more 
ambitious scale, while on Arbor Day they are given to all who may 
apply. Though in many ways the idea is an admirable one it goes 
a very short way towards satisfying the demands of practical 
forestry, and probably too much is made of it in the report. 
e Superintendent of Forestry deals with the areas planted in 
the various islands, expenditure and experiments which are being 
made with various kinds of timber, while the Forest Nurseryman 
reports on the work of his department, the interchange of seeds, 
sale and distribution of plants, advising of private planters, the

The report of the Superintendent of the Division of Entomology 
records the steps taken to combat various insect plagues which were 
causing harm to the melon, alligator pear, chrysanthemum and other 
plants. Details concerning experiments made with various washes 
are recorded, laborate arrangements have been made for the 
inspection of plants and fruits arriving from other countries, and the 
vigilance of the several officers has been rewarded by their being 
able to exclude a number of insect and fungoid diseases which are 
nown to create serious harm elsewhere. 
The latter pages of the report are devoted to the Division of 
Animal Industry, and, amongst other things, detailed accounts are 
given of efforts which are being made to improve the breeds of 
cattle and horses in the Territory and the treatment and prevention 
of various diseases of animals,
