The planting ou the Waimanalo Reserve is being done voluntarily 
by the Waimanalo Sugar Company on exposed situations where trees 
other than the ironwood would not survive. The swamp mahogany 
trees were planted for a windbreak on Round Top by students who are 
takiitg instruction in forestry. The Jamaica yokewood planted in the 
Waiahole Reserve is a new introduction made by Dr. H. L. Lyon from 
Jamaica. The tree is a rapid grower and early seeder and promises to 
be most valuable as a fence post producer. 
KAURI PINE 
During an inspection of the Waiahole Forest Reserve a few meas- 
urements were taken of the kauri pine trees {Agathis rohusta) planted less 
than, three years ago. In one lot of 490 trees, planted 10 by 10 feet 
apart in January, 1920, and cultivated periodically by harrowing, the 
trees are doing remarkably well, the tallest being 7 feet 2 inches in 
height. In a planting of 70 trees made in April of the same^ year, by 
simply making a clearing in the brush and planting the trees in holes, 
without cultivation except hoeing, growth has been much slower and 
the tallef^t tree is only one foot high. This species of kauri pine is 
probably the most valuable tree that can be planted for timber produc- 
ing purposes in these islands and it is unfortunate that seed in large 
quantities is not frequentl}^ available. 
During this same trip the barking of kukui trees near the Waiahole 
tunnel portal by fishermen was investigated and the steps that have 
been taken to prevent further trespass have already been made known 
to you in a special report. 
TESOTA BEAN TREE 
The seedlings of the tesota bean tree (Olneya tesota) which were 
raised from seed recently introduced and which were advertised for 
distribution in the local papers and in ''The Extension Letter" have 
all been distributed and the supply is exhausted. The demands for this 
new tree are so many that an effort has been made to secure an addi- 
tional supply of seed.
