THE HAWAIIAN FORESTER 
AND AGRICULTURIST 
Vol. XVIX. Honolulu, February, 1922. No. 2 
This number is devoted mainly to the subject of the protection 
of the forest on watershed areas. 
Examinations and surveys looking to the enlargement of sev- 
eral of the forest reserves on the Island of Hawaii continued 
during December. 
The Territorial Veterinarian is looking forward to the early 
receipt of a new and successful vaccine which will immunize 
dogs against rabies with one treatment. 
The Entomologist is working on methods of controlling the 
red spider, mealy bug, and scale which attack pineapple plants 
in these islands. 
Over fifty Christmas trees of Japanese cedar and Arizona 
cypress were distributed during the latter part of December 
from the plantation near the Makiki Nursery established for 
this special purpose. 
Trees to the number of 7,100 ^i^d consisting of thirteen 
species were planted out by the Division of Forestry on nine 
different forest reserves on three of the islands during December. 
The Division of Forestry has adopted the lemon gum (Euca- 
lyptus citriodora) as a marker for planting along forest reserve 
boundaries. This stately tree stands the wind well and its tall 
whitish trunk will distinguish the boundary line from afar. 
The Territorial Veterinarian reports the completion of the 
tuberculin test for cattle for the year 1921 with reactors amount- 
ing to only 2.89 per cent and indications that the coming year 
will see a still further reduction in the number of animals found 
to be afflicted with this disease. 
The first actual planting of the chaulmoogra oil producing 
plantation at Waiahole, Oahu, was begun in December, 1921, 
when 880 seedlings of Hydnocarpus anthelmintic us were set out 
in the ground specially prepared to receive this much-prized tree.
