(3) For the extension and better equipment of the system of 

 sub-nurseries and local distributing points for the giving away of 

 trees ; 



(4) For the introduction and experimental planting of 

 economically desirable trees and shrubs new to the Territory; 



(5) For the general administrative and routine expenses of 

 the Division of Forestry in carrying out these several branches of 

 work and in its more strictly technical investigations, such as the 

 work being done in connection with the Herbarium; it being 

 understood that the allotment for this last section should be suf- 

 ficient to include provision for the publication of results. 



Forestry has a very definite duty to perform in Hawaii. Its 

 place has come to be well recognized. It is for the people of 

 the Territory now to demand that provision be made for forest 

 work in a measure commensurate with its importance. 



Very respectfully, 



RALPH S. HOSMER, 

 Superintendent of Forestry.
