of which he forwarded to Commits
sioner Marsden.
During the professors absence
he visited many of the districts in
New Zealand and Australia. He
spent three months in Ceylon look
ing up the coffee and tea indus
tries, examining the blights there
and securing enemies which he has
forwarded here. Blight that pre-
vailed in Ceylon a few years ago
has entirely disappeared; the lady
bird did the work and it is due to
Prof. Koebele and the introduce
ton of the lady bird in Hawaii
that the troublesome blight has
been eradicated at Kona, and the
coffee plants there have been given
a chance to grow.
Prof. Koebele spent three months
in China and found it, along the
coast, the most miserable country
he has ever visited. Forests which
once existed were cut down thous-
ands of years ago and nothing but
boulders remain except along the
banks of the rivers.
"Then your visit to China was
without satisfactory results" re-
marked an ADVERTISER reporter.
Hardly So" replied the Profes-
sor. II found myriads of bugs and
insects which may be of great value
to Hawaii. In the gardens around
Hongkong [ found blights OF diff
ferent kinds and secured enemies.
[ would like to have gone further
inland and pursued my investiga-
tions further, but [ found when
reached Canton that it would have
been foolhardy"
"Yes, indeed" broke in Com
missioner Marsden, "the Chinese
are wonderfully expert at throwing
stones and you probably would not
have gotten out alive"
''At Swatow," continued the Pro-
lessor, II found some good material
and had little or no opposition to
overcome. The people there are on
a much higher plane Intellectually
than those OF other parts of China,
and are finer men physically"
con Formosa 1 found but one
scale on the tea plant and some on
the orange trees. But there are
few orange trees there, except in
the private gardens, so that, there
was really but little opportunity to
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-02-28

tell much about the effect of the
blight on the trees there"
In Japan [ found a great field
for labor and met much which
interested me, and which, trust,
will be of benefit to the country.
"Altogether [ presume there were
$4,000 insects, bugs and toads sent
from different parts of the Land of
the Chrysanthemum. These in
clude lady birds, parasites for
caterpillars and the japanese toads,
which differ in some respect from
the California toad
also sent a number of frogs,
but, you will remember, they ar
rived here during the cholera time
and were not landed. They were
sold in San Francisco for SO cents.
No, they were not the edible frog; |
do not believe the Japanese were
ever known to eat them. They
were little green fellows and were
intended to be put into the rice
and taro patches, and there is no
doubt in my mind that wherever
they would be placed there would
be material falling off in the
number of mosquitoes.
Il think" continued the pro-
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-02-28

fessor, "that we shall try more Of
the California frogs for the same
purpose. If the mosquito colony
could be reduced in number I am
quite sure it would repay us for the
slight expense. However, ridding
the country of mosquitoes is a Sc
condary consideration. Our efforts
are in the direction of cleaning the
islands of all kinds of blight which
affects the foliage of plants and
trees"
Asked regarding the beetle in
Japan, Professor Koebele said
The beetle there is very differ
ent in its depredatory work than
here in Honolulu. 1t confines it.
self more especially to the leaves
on the gigantic oak trees, which
abound there, and pays but little
attention to the roses.
There is, however," continued
the professor, " another beetle that
works on the roses and does con-
siderable damage. Really the
greatest enemy to the Japanese
beetle that | have been able to find
is a vegetable fungus Of mush-
room growth. By contact with
this in the air and in other ways
the beetles are killed. They be-
come affected by it and the affecta-
ton is communicated to others in
the colony, even to the young ones.
The effect of this fungus is to dry
up the body of the beetle. AS to
the other insects sent here, they
will thrive as long as there is food
for them.
am not sure that the fungus
will be effective here, because the
climate may be too dry. In Japan
there is more moisture and the
fungus thrives. We will try it and
it will not take long to determine
what the result will be-"
Professor Koebele has rendered
valuable services to Hawaii during
the time he has been in the service
of the Government. 1t is probable
that without him and his able
coadjutor, Mr.. Marsden, the coffee
industry in Kona would be an un-
known quantity.
He will remain on the islands
for a time and will make an ex-
haustive inquiry into the lady
birds and gather colonies to be
sent to other parts of the islands.
