REPORT or SUPERINTENDENT OF FORESTRY, APRIL, 1922 
June 8, 1922. 
Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry, 
Honolulu, T. H. 
Gentlemen: I respectfully submit the following report of the Divi- 
sion of Forestry for the month of April, 1922: 
FOREST PLANTING 
Reforestation work during April resulted in the planting out of 2,120 
trees on four different forest reserves, as follows: 
Oahu — Honolulu Watershed Reserve at Tantalus: 
Chir pine {Finns longifolia) 39 
Benguet pine (Pinus insularis) 63 
Arizona cypress (Cupressus Arizonica) 100 
Cook pine (Araucaria CooMi) 50 
Juniper (Juniperus Bermudiana) 29 
Australian red cedar (Cedrela australis) 134 
Koa {Acacia Tcoa) 68 
Ti plants (Cordyline terminalis) • 310 
Oahu — Lualualei Forest Reserve at Mikilua: 
Logwood (Haematoxylum campechianum) 641 
Oahu — Ewa Forest Reserve at Aiea: 
Swamp mahogany (Eucalyptus rohusta) 600 
Hawaii — Hilo Forest Reserve at Laupahoehoe: 
Lemon gum (Eucalyptus citriodora) 86 
Total number of trees planted 2,120 
The coniferous trees were planted on Tantalus to test their adapta- 
bility to the elevation (2,000 feet) found at that planting site. The koa 
trees were planted near the same region by Boy Scouts of Troop Four. 
The ti plants were set out in Makiki Valley in accordance with the 
plan, mentioned in my last report, of providing a supply of ti leaves to 
meet future demands. The planting at Aiea is the first in connection 
with the agreement with Joseph Alexander and assumed the form of a 
necessary windbreak. 
On April 29, 200 nipa palm (Nipa fruticans) seeds were received from 
the Bureau of Forestry in Manila in fairly good condition. Some of 
these were immediately distributed for planting at Haleiwa, Oahu, and 
along the leeward shore of Molokai, near Palaau. 
A compilation of reports on the number of trees planted throughout 
the Territory during 1921, shows that a total of 383,458 trees were so 
planted. This is only 36,635 trees less than the number planted in 1920. 
Of the total number planted, 44,261 trees consisting of 33 different 
species were set out by the Division of Forestry on eleven different 
forest reserves on the four main islands,
