Progress was made during August in the many fencing 
projects along the Hilo Forest Reserve boundary, as may be 
seen by the current report of the Superintendent of Forestry. 
The Plant Inspectors' records show that during August 
28,510 bags of rice were imported into the Territory from the 
United States and 1,314 bags of rice from Japan. 
A conference of all of the Territorial Veterinarians will be 
held in Honolulu during the latter part of November to dis- 
cuss hog cholera, hemorrhagic septicemia, and other diseases 
of animals and their treatment. 
The Superintendent of Forestry has prepared a report em- 
bodying plans for controlling the wild goat situation in the 
Territory which will require an appropriation from the legis- 
lature. This report will appear in the November issue of the 
FORESTER. 
It now seems that the kauri pine tree which grows so well 
in these islands and promises to be a useful timber tree is not 
the one from New Zealand but is the Agathis robnsta, the kauri 
tree of Queensland, Australia. 
Attention is called to the introduction of a new and useful 
tree called the tesota bean from the southwestern deserts of 
the United States which may in time become established here 
and supplement the range of the algaroba. 
Four more shipments of beneficial insects, consisting of 
tumble bugs and internal parasites and predaceous species on 
mealy bugs were received during August from our Field En- 
tomologist in Mexico. 
The article on Sorehead and its Control in Hawaii, which 
is contributed by Mr. H. F. Fisher and printed in this issue, 
should be of interest to all poultry raisers throughout the 
Territory. Mr. Fisher is owner and manager of the Fisher 
Poultry Farm at Keaau, Hawaii, where he specializes in heavy 
layers and large eggs from single comb white leghorns.
