to request the cooperation of this Board, and the same was agreed 
to at the last meeting of this Board on the condition that the 
necessary expenditures connected with this work should be borne 
by the Board of Supervisors. This work is now in progress and 
a full report on the same will be made as soon as definite con- 
clusions and sufficient observations have been made on which to 
base recommendations for the improvement of the milk supply

DIVISION OF FORESTRY. 
May 24, 1910. 
The Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry, 
Honolulu, Hawaii. 
Gentlemen : — I have the honor to submit a report covering the 
work of the Division of Forestry for the months of April and 
May, 1910. 
EUCALYPTUS INVESTIGATION. 
Having completed the field work incident to the investigation 
of the groves of planted Eucalyptus on Hawaii, Maui, Oahu and 
Kauai, Mr. Louis Margolin returned to Honolulu early in April 
to work up the data and prepare his report. This he completed ► 
just prior to his departure for California on May 8, where he 
returns to take up his regular work in the Eorest Service. Be- 
fore the report can be made public it must receive the formal ap- 
proval of the Secretary of Agriculture. Immediately upon the 
return of the manuscript from Washington I recommend that 
the report be published as a bulletin of the Division of Eorestry. 
The report brings together all the local information now avail- 
able, about the genus Eucalyptus and contains definite recommen- 
dations that together cannot but be of great value to tree planters 
in Hawaii. 
FOREST PLANTING IN PROGRESS. 
Under the contract made in March with Mr. C. G. Owen, tree 
planting has been actively going on on Water Reserve C, of the 
Pupukea Homestead Tract. The trees have been shipped from 
the Government Nursery at Honolulu at the rate of 2,000 per 
week.
