THE BLIGHT.
The attention Of your Commits
sioner has been forcabIy drawn to
the blight which is devastating, and
IN many instances completely killing
the citrus fruit trees in and around
the city of Honolulu. This blight is
easily mistaken by many persons
especially when not closely exam
ined) for the cottony cushion scale,
and unlike that pest there is (unfor-
tunately) no insect enemy known
that will destroy it.
Energetic action is urgently needed
to eradicate this blight, and to this
end / would propose that your Com
missioner be instructed TO at once
commence the manufacture of a solu-
ton that has already been tried with
good results in killing this blight,
and furnish the same at cost to those
persons who wish TO spray their own
trees. Also, that q number of spray
ing outfits be purchased, and men in
structed in their use and hired out at
cost to any person wishing to have
their trees cleared of blight, to render
action against the blight effective.
Legislative action is needed allowing
any person who goes to the trouble of
clearing his own ire of blight to
compel his neighbors on either side of
his premises to have their trees clear
ed from blight, they in turn having
the same power over their next neigh
bors. 1t is only by some such means
that the blight can be got rid of, as
one tree infected by blight will keep
injecting contiguous trees no matter
how often they are cleaned. Your
Commissioner would respectfully re-
commend that the Bureau have bill
drafted embracing the provisions
mentioned, and request the Govern
ment to introduce the same to the
Advisory Council. for their consider
ton. Respectfully submitted,
Commissioner of Agriculture and
Forestry.

Mr.. EDITOR i CHANGED to see
in the Star of Monday evening an
article occupying nearly a column,
purporting to narrate an Episode
in the Political Annals Of Homo
lulu" but which is in fact a dis
torted and inaccurate account of a
silly freak of two midshipmen near
thirty years ago.
The COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER Of
that date april, 1864 refers to
the occurrence in a local note of a
few lines, saying that, since the
arrival Of H. B.'M. S. Clio sundry
of the citizens of Honolulu had
been annoyed by the disappearance
of their trade-signs from over the
doors of their stores, but that it
was past a joke when the shield
bearing the American arms had
been carried off and taken on board
the Clio.
In the following issue, under the
heading "Amende Honorable" the
ADVERTISER relates how Captain
Turnour, of the Clio, waited on the
American Commissioner with the
two peccant lads, and made him
self, and caused them to make,
ample apology; not only that, he
obliged them in person to restore
the shield to exactly the same
position and condition as before
their mischief.
Here, | believe. the matter end
ed Except that the young gentle
men had their leave stopped), the
American Commissioner looking
on the event as most other unprej-
udiced persons did, that is, as a
mischievous midshipman's foolish
frolic, and not as the Star-writer
would wish to make of it-a "polit-
ical episode"
[ have heard the story scores of
times from naval officers and 9TH
ers, but never with the malicious
spice of the "Star."
l am not in a position to direct
ly contradict the story of the dip
lomatic action of Mr.. Seward,
though [ do not believe a word of
it. The two young men" (Beres-
ford was just over seventeen), were
not "called home" and that they
were dismissed from the British
Navy for five years" is demonstra-
bly, false, for Beresford, Midship-
man (not a Cadet, at the time Of
the episode" became a Sub-Lieut-
enant within two years, was pro-
NOTED to Lieutenant two years lat

1875 and Post-Captain in 1882;
and moreover, the punishment Of
temporary dismissal is utterly I'M
known to the Service, and, within
my knowledge, has never been in
fiicted.
would respectfully suggest to
the gentlemen whose names appear
in the Star as the officers of the
Star Association, amongst whom [
am proud to claim several as es-
teemed personal friends, that they
exercise little more thorough sup
ervision over their episode-makers.

Mr.. EDITOR; The article about
Lord Beresford's adventure here,
copied by the Star Of Monday from
the New York Sun, contains an
error regarding the date. The in
cident occurred in March or April,
1868, mot 1864. The Clio was
the ship that conveyed Queen
Emma to Panama, on her way to
England. She returned via the
United States, and was conveyed
from San Francisco to Honolulu in
the Vanderbilt, then a warship,
which arrived here in October,
1866. Z.
