fined $10. It is the belief of the plantation authorities that this 
example will have considerable weight locally in causing this 
law to be respected in the future.

REPORT OF THE FOREST NURSERYMAN. 
Honolulu, August 31, 1911. 
Advice and Assistance. 
At the request of the officers of the 5th Cavalry, Schofield Bar- 
racks, the writer visited the barracks on August 10 for the pur- 
pose of giving advice in the planting and care of trees, etc. A 
few days previous to my visit 1150 trees, consisting of about a 
dozen different species, were sent to the barracks. It is the de- 
sire of the officers to plant large numbers of trees around the 
quarters and parade grounds and fast growing trees are in de- 
mand. Diff'erent species of the eucalyptus are recommended ow- 
ing to their fast growth and their adaptability to withstand the 
prevailing winds. Other trees and plants more ornamental might 
be recommended later for certain sheltered places but what is 
wanted at present is fast growing hardy trees.
