EECOMMENBATIONS. 



^N'ow that tKe Panama Canal is open for traffic and owing to 

 the noticeable increase of all classes of shipping, I would recom- 

 mend that an adequate sum be appropriated so as to safeguard 

 the Plant Quarantine inspection work. The Islands are now in 

 direct communication with Central America, where very serioub 

 pests are knowm to exist. We should be /well prepared to handle 

 any and all shipments, whether destined to these islands or whether 

 only in transit. Honolulu being a port of call will mean that 

 many steamers will remain one, two or more days in port, and 

 if any cargo in transit needs our supervision while in port, we 

 should be able to meet the situation by having sufficient men to 

 carry out our work. 



Owing to the constant complaint from our citizens regarding 

 the loss and annoyance of the Japanese Rose Beetle, Pink Cotton 

 Boll Worm, the Melon Fly, the Alligator Pear Mealy Bug and the 

 Corn Leaf Hopper, I would recommend that some action be 

 taken by the Board of Commissioners to ask the incoming legis- 

 lature to provide liberal funds for the search of natural enemies 

 for the above pests. Since the successful introduction of several 

 parasites for the Mediterranean fruit fly has been possible, the 

 growers of crops injured by the above named pests are deeply 

 interested and are anxious that something be done on similar lines 

 to relieve their situation and if poFsible spare them their annual 

 loss. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Edward M. Ehrhorn, 

 Superintendent of Entomology.
