MOLOKAI RESPJRVE LANDS 
Acting on the recommendations in my report on acquiring certain 
lands in the Molokai Forest Reserve, which were approved by you, a 
board of appraisers, appointed by the Governor, has visited the lands 
and appraised them and reported to the Governor as the nrst step toward 
obtaining title to them. 
NEW RESERVES 
Considerable time was spent in checking the maps and descriptions 
of the new Waiakea and Waimanalo reserves and revised Hilo and 
Upper Waiakea reserves and corrections arranged for at the Survey 
Office preparatory to presenting them to you for approval and action by 
the Governor. 
NUUANU ROAD TREES 
Under the able direction of Commissioner W. M. Giffard, a start 
was made in opening up some of the views of waterfalls and mountain 
views by branch trimming, vine removal, and thinning among the trees 
which line the Nuuanu Valley road through the forest reserve. This 
is being done slowly and with care after each situation is studied and 
the best plan of procedure decided upon. The County Engineer has 
also been requested to save as many as possible of the trees -in the 
process of widening this road and has promised to furnish us with his 
plans as soon as the surveys are completed. 
HONOULIULI RESERVE 
My assistant has devoted a i)ortiou of his time in field work con- 
nected with the new demarcation of the proposed Honouliuli Reserve 
in Ewa, Oahu, and tells of this work more in detail in his November 
report submitted herewith. 
Respectfully submitted, 
C. S. JUDD, 
Superintendent of Forestry.

Honolulu, Hawaii, November 20, 1922. 
Superintendent of Forestry, 
Honolulu, T. H. 
Dear Sir: — The following report of my activities during October, 
1922, is respectfully submitted: 
EDUCATIONAL COOPERATION 
Four lectures on the subject of forest planting, and three demon- 
stration periods in the field, were given to the class in Agriculture 12 
(General Forestry) of the University of Hawaii during the month. In 
order to get practical experience the class assisted in the planning and 
planting of wand-breaks for the Macadomia nut plantation on Round- 
Top. In the lectures the principles of nursery management and forest 
planting peculiar to Hawaii were discussed. The ground-plan of a prac- 
tical forest-tree nursery was constructed, and the actual working plan 
for the Piihonua planting in the Hilo Forest Reserve was studied as a 
model.
