law relating to the removal of cattle from reserves. The notice 
was sufficient to bring the desired results for the forest was 
promptly cleared of all cattle. These numbered in the region 
of sixty head and some that would not be driven had to be 
snared and the last six were so wild that the owner shot them 
and carried them out in gunny sacks. 
By concentrating on the Hilo Forest Reserve the officials of 
the Division of Forestry of the Board have been able to convert 
this reserve from a ''paper reserve" to a reserve protected to the 
greatest degree and functioning as a water producer for planta- 
tions which put out one-fifth of the total sugar crop of the 
Territory. 
The fencing and cattle removal is being followed up by tree 
planting in the open places and several reforestation projects 
are now in progress.
