From Hawaii Governor Dole brought n
quantity OF forest tree seeds which are
TO be given by Commissioner of Agricul-
ture Taylor into the care of Forester
Haughs to be planted on the wooded
Slopes OF Mount Tantalus. Among the
seeds are those of the sandalwood and
koa trees. Despite the current opinion
that there are TO more sandalwood trees
on the Islands as a result of the whole
sale destruction of the forests that oc-
Cured during the days of Kamchameha |,
1t is stated by those who know. that there
are many OF the trees on the peaks of
the Island of Molokal. and an effort is
to be made to revive the growth OF this
valuable tree on the Islands.
Prof. Koebele will leave the last of the
week to pay n visit to the forests OF
Hawaii to investigate certain matters In
connection with forestry. 1t has been re-
ported from Kohala that caterpillar has
appeared there which Is playing havoc
with the leaves and trunks of koa trees
and Prof. Koebele's visit is for the pur-
rCse or ascertaining what can be done
towards eradicating the pest
Commissioner Taylor Is planning to have
an agricultural and forestry exhibit in
connection with the Department of Agri-
culture. and room In the basement is to
bp devoted to this purpose. Fruits will
be displayed and seeds and cereals, as
wen as many photographs OF rural scenes
