Good progress is being made in the construction of new fences 
on the readjusted boundary of the Hilo Forest Reserve on the 
island of Hawaii. 
During November three more consignments of tumble-bugs 
were received from our Field Entomologist in Arizona for use 
in the hornfly control. 
Entomologist Fullaway's article in this issue on insect prob- 
lems will be of interest to all pineapple growers throughout the 
tropical world. 
The Boy Scouts in Troop 4 of the Honolulu Area have under- 
taken to reforest with koa trees the open grassy slopes just below 
the summit of Tantalus in the Honolulu Watershed Forest 
Reserve. 
Arbor Day was celebrated on November 18, 1921, by appro- 
priate exercises in the schools and by the planting of trees. For 
the latter purpose the five main nurseries of the Division of 
Forestry distributed 6,384 trees throughout the Territory. 
The fruit orchard at Keanakolu, Hawaii, at an elevation of 
6,000 feet on the slopes of Mauna Kea, which has lately been 
pruned and cleaned up, shows the possibility of producing tem- 
perate zone fruit such as apples, cherries, plums and pears at 
proper elevations in these islands. 
In the list of plants encountered on a trip up Mauna Kea on 
the island of Hawaii by Mr. Kraebel and printed in this number, 
it is interesting to note that over 40% is composed of introduced 
plants, mostly grasses. This list should serve as a handy refer- 
ence for the plants of this region. 
Mr. Lester W. Bryan, Forest Supervisor of the H. S. P. A. 
was on November 9, 1921, commissioned as Honorary Forest 
Ranger for this Board. Mr. Bryan has been working in close 
cooperation with us on the Hilo Forest Reserve with good re- 
sults and his appointment will clothe him with the necessary 
authopty to enforce the regulations pertaining to government 
lands in forest reserves.
