FEDEEAL HORTICULTURAL BOARD 
The Federal Horticultural Board of Washington, D. C. of which we are 
Collaborators, passed four Notices of Quarantine with regulations dur- 
ing the year. No. 49 prohibits the importation or entry into the United 
States of all fruits and vegetables in the raw or unprocessed state and 
materials of plants and portions of jjlants used as packing for such 
shipments on account of the Citrus Blackfly {Aleurocanthus woglumi) , 
from Cuba, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Canal Zone, Costa Rica, India, Phil- 
ippine Islands, Ceylon and Java. This is a very serious pest of a num- 
ber of fruits and plants in those countries and with this regulation 
another good step is taken to prevent its introduction into the United 
States and Territories. No. 50 prohibits the movement of various bean 
varieties and cowpeas in the green state as well as forms of greens and 
edible plant leaves such as mustard, cliard, etc., also hay and other for- 
age crops from the State of Alabama into the other states of the L^uion 
on account of the Mexican Bean weevil (Epilachna corrupta), which has 
made its appearance in that state and which is a serious pest to such 
crops. No. 51 prohibits the movements of sugar cane, corn, cotton and 
alfalfa, the fruits of avocado and papaya from the mainland of the 
United States to Hawaii and was promulgated at the request of the 
Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry and has been in force since 
October 1st, 1921. 
No. 52 quarantines the states of Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico 
on account of the cotton bollworm which has made its appearance in 
these states during the latter part of 1921. It regulates all traffic of 
cotton and cotton products as well as carriers used for transportation of 
such materials. This pest is already here in these islands, and other 
regulations prevent cotton and cotton products from being shipped from 
here to the mainland.

DIVISION OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY 
ANNUAL REPORT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1921 
March 1, 1922. 
Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry, 
Honolulu, T. H. 
Gentlemen: It may be said that the past year has been favorable to 
the continued advancement of the animal industry of the Territory. 
Every branch of the live stock industry lias felt "the impress of new 
blood, represented in the increasing importations of high-class breeding 
stock which have been coming steadily from the mainland for the past 
few yea.rs. As an indication of what is being done along the lines of 
breeding pure-bred cattle, it may be stated that this Territory can 
boast the largest herd of pure-bred Hereford cattle in the United States. 
With the exception of hemorrhagic septicemia, the live stock industry 
has suffered little from disease or from adverse climatic conditions. The 
swine industry has probably suffered the greater.t loss from the above- 
mentioned disease. 
As in the past, the eradication of bovine tuberculosis has constituted 
the main work of this Division, although during the latter part of the 
year a considerable amount of time was spent in controlling outbreaks 
of hemorrhagic septicemia in both cattle and swine, particularly in the 
latter class of animal. A slight decrease in the amount of tuberculosis 
occurring in the entire Territory has been noted during the past year. 
Certain heavily-infected districts on this island showed up with fewer
