Gentlemen: I respectfully submit the following report of the Di- 
vision of Forestry for the month of December, 1921: 
TREE PLANTING. 
The past month witnessed greater tree planting activities than in any 
previous month for many years and this work was materially assisted 
by favorable moisture conditions. Trees of various species amounting 
to a total of 7,100 were plar.ted out on nine different forest reserves 
on three islands as follows: 
Oahu: 
Lualualei Reserve at Mikilua — logwood 1,958 trees. 
Makua-Keaau Reserve at Keaau — Norfolk Isl. pine .... 25 * ' . . 
Makua-Keaau Reserve at Keaau — Ironwood 150 
Pupukea Reserve, Aimuu — Lemon gum 152 " 
Waiahole Reserve — Koa 480 
Waihole Reserve — Lemon gum 300 ' ' 
Waiahole Reserve — Chaulmoogra 880 * * 
Hon. Watershed Reserve, Tantalus — Koa 37 "

Lihue-Koloa Reserve, Kalaheo — Silk oak 570 ' *

Olaa Forest Park Reserve, Sec. C. — Taraktogenos Kurzii 35 " 
Olaa Forest Park Reserve, Sec. C. — Hydnocarpus castanea 4 ■ " 
Olaa Forest Park Reserve, Sec. C. — Hawaiian bamboo... 20 " 
Total 7,100 
The lemon gums were all planted along forest reserve boundaries so 
that in due time the white trunks of these trees will distinguish the 
location of the boundary from afar. 
The planting of the chaulmoogra oil producing plantation at Waiahole 
actually began during the month with the setting out on plowed and 
harrowed land of 880 seedling of Hydnocarpus anthehninticus. A small 
tool and shelter house was constructed on the planting area. As an exper- 
iment to test their adaptability to the region, a few Hydnocarpus castanea 
and TaraTctogenos Kurzii seedlings, propagated at the Hilo Nursery, were 
also planted out by Ranger Mackenzie on forest reserve fenced iand at 
18 Miles on the Volcano Road in Olaa, Hawaii, 
On the last day of the month 12 boy scouts from Troop 4 under my per- 
sonal instruction began the planting of koa trees on Tantalus under the 
arrangement mentioned in my report for November,
