The assistance of the men from the nursery and Makiki station 
was given for six days. This was done for the purpose of paying 
back labor which the Federal men did in assisting us during the 
early part of the year.

DIVISION OF ENTOMOLOGY. 
Honolulu, July 31, 1911. 
Honorable Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry, 
Honolulu, Hawaii. 
Gentlemen : — I herewith respectfully submit my report of the 
work of the Division of Entomology for the month of July. 
During this month we boarded 34 vessels and we found fruit, 
vegetables and plants on 15 of them. 
The usual careful inspection was made of all the shipments 
wnth the following results : 
Disposal until principal causes. Lots Parcels 
Passed as free from pests 864 14,727 
Burned 9 21 
Fumigated 5 9 
Returned 1 1 
Total inspected 879 14,758 
RICE SHIPMEXTS. 
During the month there arrived 29,638 bags of rice, of which 
6227 bags arriving on the China on July 7 were found to be in- 
fested with the larvae of a moth, probably Pyralis farinalis, a 
very common cosmopolitan pest. On July 15 another shipment 
of rice arrived on the Manchuria and although the shipment was 
much cleaner than that on the China we found 2367 bags infested 
with the same pest. We notified the consignees of the condition 
of the rice and as we could not return the rice w^e ordered it all 
fumigated. It was placed in the tight rooms on the channel 
dock and subjected to the fumes of carbon-bisulphide for five 
days and when we examined it we found all the larvae black and 
partly dried. All the consignees cabled to Japan immediately to 
prevent further shipments from being made unless they were first 
fumigated there, and T am pleased to say that the last shipment 
of rice arrived in clean condition.
