THE RUBBER CONVENTION. 
On January 23, 1911, there was held in Honolulu, in the 
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, the fourth annual meet- 
ing of the Hawaiian Rubber Growers' Association. A num- 
ber of interesting papers were presented dealing with the 
progress of rubber production in this Territory, the present 
status of the industry, and the outlook for the future. Several 
of the papers were followed by discussion. 
On account of the importance of Rubber as an industry in 
Hawaii, it is only fitting that the Forester should contain a 
full account of this meeting. In this issue are given, prac- 
tically in full, the several addresses and much of the incidental 
discussion. It is therefore not without reason that the cover 
of this issue bears the caption "Rubber Number." 
A CORRECTION. 
Through a regrettable oversight in proofreading, the word 
''not" was omitted in the January Forester from one para- 
graph of the address of the Hon. Marston Campbell, in such 
a connection as completely to change the meaning. The error 
occurs midway on page 3. What Mr. Campbell really said 
was : 'Tf we limit our efforts to the commercial side of for- 
estry, we will 'not' attain the great end of conserving our 
several natural resources which are dependent upon forest 
cover. Our great need is in forest cover whether it be forest 
planted for commercial ends or cover which will preserve the 
land against erosion."
