THE HAWAIIAN FORESTER 
AND AGRICULTURIST 
Vol. XIX. Honolulu. June, 1922. No. 6 
Among the beneficial insects introduced from Mexico during 
the month were parasites and predators which work on the 
mealy bug, a pest which attacks the alligator pear and a few 
other trees in these islands. 
The Division of Plant Inspection materially assisted the vari- 
ous departments which moved into the fine new federal build- 
ing on April 1, by fumigating all of the furniture, office ecfuip- 
ment, books, and records before they were moved from the old 
offices. 
The Forest Nurserymen during the month gave expert advice 
and assistance in laying out and starting flower beds for the 
beautifying of the grounds around the Volcano House, Hawaii, 
in accordance with a comprehensive plan prepared by Commis- 
sioner W. M. Giffard. 
The trees along the road on the narrow ridge between Pauoa 
and Makiki Valleys, below the top of Tantalus, were cleaned out 
during the month so that now, from an auto, one may have an 
unobstructed view of the Ewa district and Waianae Mountains 
on one side and Waikiki and Diamond Head on the other. 
Among the trees planted out by the Division of Forestry 
during April were chir pines from India, Benguet pines and nipa 
palms from the Phihppines, junipers from Bermuda, Cook pines 
and red cedars from Australia, cypresses from Arizona, and 
logwood trees from the West Indies. 
Rule V of the Division of Forestry, which provides for the 
protection of the forest on a part of the Honolulu watershed at 
the head of Palolo and Manoa Valleys, which was adopted by 
the Board on December 6, 1922, was finally approved by the 
Governor on May 13, 1922, and went into effect at once. This 
new rule, with correspondence and reports bearing upon it, is 
printed in this number.
