In addition to this .57 mile of new fence was constructed in November 
by the Hakalau Plantation Company on the Hilo Forest Reserve bound- 
ary where it crosses the private lands of Hakalau-nui and Umauma. 
Under a cooperative arrangement with S. Kanamori, 80 posts were set 
during the month as a part of a new fence on the Olaa Forest Reserve 
back of 24 Miles, Hawaii. 
Arrangements have been made for further fencing along the Hilo 
Reserve boundary at Lots 16 and 17 of the Opea-Peleau homesteads and 
at other places. 
Fences were repaired during the month as follows: 
On the boundary of the Moloaa Forest Reserve, Kauai, by Ranger 
Lovell .20 mile and on boundaries of Section C of the Olaa Forest Park 
Reserve, Hawaii, by Ranger Mackenzie 1.67 miles, a total of 1.87 miles. 
Two days were spent with Mr. Kraebel and Ranger Ellis in locating 
and flagging the makai boundary of the Mokuleia Forest Reserve, Oahu, 
preliminary to making arrangements for fencing the same. 
Through cooperation with the Land Office a clause has been inserted 
in the new lease of the land of Piihonua, Hawaii, whereby the lessee will 
be required to build and maintain a stock-proof fence on the boundary 
of the Hilo Forest Reserve where it crosses or is adjacent to the land 
of Piihonua, a total distance of 3.75 miles. 
NEW FOREST RANGER. 
Mr. Lester W. Bryan, employed by the H. S. P. A. to work as Forest 
Supervisor on the Hilo Forest Reserve received his commission from 
this Board on November 9, and has continued to perform valuable ser- 
vices, as has Ranger Lawrence L. Peralto, in inspecting the progress of 
fence building, assisting the government surveyor in running out the 
boundary, flagging and monumenting the boundary of the Hilo Forest 
Reserve and in planting trees on vacant government lands in this re- 
serve. 
KEANAKOLU ORCHARD. 
During the month Ranger Bryan pruned and cleaned the fruit trees 
in the orchard near Keanakolu at an elevation of 6,000 feet near the 
north-west corner of the Hilo Forest Reserve so that in the future they 
should yield better crops of fruit. He reports the following trees in 
this orchard: Cherry 35, apple 22, plum 10, peach 5, pear 5 and apricot 
4, total 81 trees. 
WATERSHED PROTECTION. 
On November 4, in company with Mr. Kraebel, Dr. Lyon, Mr. Gaum 
and others, I made observations along the trail from Palolo Crater to 
Pauoa Flats via Mt. Olympus and the headwaters of Manoa Valley. 
Hilo grass was found to be more abundant than ever, along the trail 
and the conclusion was reached that the closing of this area to the 
public is urgent if the delicate forest on this important catchment area 
is to receive proper protection. 
Respectfully submitted, 
C. iS. JUDD, 
Superintendent of Forestry.
