Other fencing projects were contemplated, and had been 

 provisionally arranged for, when in the spring months of 19.14 

 came the call from the Territorial Administration to retrench in 

 every possible manner. This has led to the postponement of 

 several important fencing projects and the elimination of several 

 more that were regarded as highly desirable. The projects al- 

 ready under way will all be completed by the end of this calendar 

 year. 



FENCING UNDER LEASE REQUIREMENTS. 



In addition to the fences built with the water revenues, con- 

 siderable other forest fencing was done during 1913-14 by ranch 

 and plantation companies under the requirements of government 

 leases covering agriculture or grazing land adjoining forest re- 

 serves. In particular attention may be called to fences built in 

 this way in the Districts of Hanalei on Kauai, Kula and Wai- 

 luku on Maui (two in each case), and North Kohala on Hawaii. 



Two of the fencing projects on Maui coming under this 

 head are of particular interest. The fence on the boundary of 

 the Kula Forest Keserve, from Waiakoa to Keokea, built by the 

 Cornwell Ranch, and the repair and rebuilding of the fence 

 around the Polipoli Spring section of the same reserve, by Dr. J. 

 H. Raymond. With the completion of a short stretch of stone wall 

 on the Kahikinui 'slope, now being built by Dr. Raymond, and 

 the contemplated removal from Haleakala of a band of semi-wild 

 cattle, now at large at the south end of the mountain, these 

 fences, provided they are properly looked after, will satisfactorily 

 protect the area included in the Kula Forest reserve. In that 

 one of the chief reasons for setting apart this area was to pro- 

 vide for its ultimate afforestation with temperate zone trees, this 

 step is an important one. Practically all of the Government land 

 included in the Kula Forest Reserve is too poor in character to 

 be of value for grazing, but it can be made to grow such trees as 

 pines, firs and cedars. It is the intention of the Board of Agri- 

 culture and Forestry to stsrt such planting as soon as there are 

 any funds available for the purpose. Consequently the comnle- 

 tion of these fences now is particularly timely. Mention should be
