by private individuals, so far as I know, and not a great deal 

 of that. But in my own lands of Papa, etc., I am now setting- 

 out Eucalyptus, Rubber, and other trees, and intend within 

 a short time to build fences and other guards to prevent the 

 incursion of cattle on the upper lands, where there is today a 

 heavy growth of Koa, Ohia and other Hawaiian forest 

 growths. Of all of which I will give vou fuller particulars 

 later."

"Other than the usual yearly tree-planting of the Wailuku 

 Sugar Company, there is nothing of special note to report 

 concerning forestry in this district. 



"There is a rumor, however, that some Hawaiians are run- 

 ning cattle in the forest reserve back of Waikapu, but have 

 not been able to look into this carefully. If there had been 

 an available forest ranger, this matter could have easily been 

 taken up, and if cattle are being run on the reserve it would 

 have been stopped long ago. I believe that even if the neces- 

 sary number of rangers could not be provided for by the 

 funds available for your Board, a few would be of great 

 benefit. There is no doubt that there are a great many abuses 

 which are going on in the reserves, which a few rangers 

 would prevent."

"During the year 1909 I planted out some 19,314 trees, of 

 various sorts and at various altitudes; also in localities where 

 climatic conditions were unlike, viz., in the Hilo grass or 

 windward district, and in the Kula or dry district. 



"The highest altitude at which the trees are planted is a 

 little over 6000 feet, and the lowest 2000 feet. The varieties 

 planted are mainly Eucalypts, comprising botryoides, cory- 

 nocalyx, crebra, gunnii, leucoxylon, rhilaris, polyanthema, 

 rostrata, saligna and some Cryptomeria Japonica. 



"In September, 1909, I planted in the Hilo grass land 3350 

 Cryptomeria Japonica at an elevation of 2800 feet, also 1200 

 E. botryoides and E. rudis, about half of each -kind. The 

 Eucalypts were planted in the formation of two sides of a 

 square, the object being that later on they would form a 

 breakwind for the Cryptomeria Japonica, which tree has a 

 strong objection to the trade wind. The Eucalypts have done 

 exceedingly well, and seem very well suited with the condi- 

 tions that obtain there. The Cryptomeira has also thriven 

 well and has grown very fast, almost equaling the growth of 

 the Eucalypts. I may also mention 'that where the land was-
