THE HAWAIIAN FORESTER 
AND AGRICULTURIST 
Vol. XIX. Honolulu. November, 1922. No. 11 
Forestry is now being' taught at the University of Hawaii, the 
present instruction being given to seniors and juniors during the 
first semester. 
The necessity for government assistance in putting a stop to 
the damage done by wild goats on Hawaii and Maui is pointed 
out in a special report printed in this issue. 
The Division of Forestry is putting into operation the new law 
in regard to the removal of cattle from forest reserves which was 
passed by the last legislature as Act 222. 
Some interesting results should be obtained from the dry-land 
arboretum recently established at Mikilua, Oahu, in the deter- 
mination of what species of newly-introduced trees will grow 
best in similar dry situations 
Progress in fencing the makai boundary of the Hilo Forest 
Reserve is indicated in the current report of the Su.perintendent 
of Forestry and it is hoped that this project will be completed by 
the end of the year. A full description of the work done this 
summer in this reserve is printed in this number. 
In order to keep up to the progress of the times, changes have 
to be made occasionally in forest reserve boundaries not only to 
make agricultural land available for the higher use of produc- 
ing crops but also to give protection to forests on additional 
areas where it is important that water supplies should be con- 
served. 
An inspection made during September by the Territorial Veteri- 
narian of 126 piggeries in and around Honolulu showed that, 
although of the total of 7480 pigs examined not one sick animal 
was seen, there is much which should be done to improve the 
sanitary conditions under which these pigs are raised if losses are 
to be prevented in the future.
