was delighted TO find the forests IN good
condition. but even there an enormous
amount of damage is being done. The
vital points in Hawaii lie between Hilo
and Hamakua. My idea is that the
planters should get together and ask
which are the forests on the streams and
which those at the headwaters, and then
set these aside and preserve them. On
Molokai the forests are so far gone that
little can be done except by planting
they are almost extinct.
''On Oahu Honolulu and other planta-
tions, they must do something to protect
the forests. They must know that the
arteSian water they are getting is water
that is falling on the mountains, and
coming through the strata, and if the
forests are destroyed. they will surely
feel its effects on their water supply.
Washington would be glad to do any
thing ii can to help. I am going to Ma
Mia, and 1 propose TO send you some
timber trees to clothe the upper slopes
of your mountains. / would like to rec
ommend you TO try Philippine pines. The
trouble with your present forests is that
the seeds are so heavy they fall close
to the trees, and are suppressed by The
shade. This causes the forests TO spread
but slowly. The pine has been used very
successfully in Switzerland and France,
and in the States. Within five years in
South Dakota, in a preserve, they OBJ
tanned $1,000 young plants to the acre.
The seeds of the pine scatter over the
land, and do not remain near the trees
from which they fall"
Governor Dole, at this point, inquired
whether, in Mr.. Griffiths examinations
of the timber trees, he thought that
there was a possibility of introducing
foreign trees as a commercial PROPOSE
ton, as well as to conserve the water
supply. Mr. Griffith said he had thought
of that in conjunction with the price of
cordwood. which people paid here-s12 TO
s14 a cord. He suggested that if the Ter-
ritorial government raised algaroba trees
on government lands 1t would serve q
double purpose, one of which was to in
crease the revenues. He stated further
that the government should keep a very
tight control over the opening up of the
forests. Fencing was expensive, and if
there were great pine forests fence posts
would be obtained at much less price
than at present.
A vote of thanks was rendered to Mr..
Griffith for his interesting talk, and after
organizing the branch of the American
Forestry Association, the Kamehameha
Glee Club closed the meeting by singing
a pot pourri of native airs.
