FILTHY TREES IN
PUBLIC NURSERY

Editor Advertiser: I have carefully
followed your reports of the proceed
ings of the Board of Agriculture and
Forestry and notice that most of the
members have very decided ideas as to
the danger of permitting the importa-
ton of plants and seeds lest injurious
insects should come in on them. No
doubt all will agree that a thorough
inspection should be made of such i'm
portations and any blight found should
be destroyed but it would be unreaSon-
able to destroy the plants also, espe-
cially as we already have with US al
most every insect pest known to plant
cu1tivatorS. If the B. of A and F.
will make it impossible to bring in any
pest that would be injurious tos sugar
cane they will accomplish the all inn
portant object, and further if the
Board will take steps to destroy the
millions of insect pests which are at
present infesting the trees and plants
in and about Honolulu, thereby saving
the lives of many hundreds of trees
which now seem doomed to die, they
will be doing something of real i'm

single alligator pear tree, of any large
size, in Honolulu, which is free from
blight, and most of them are so badly
infested that their very life is being
sapped out of them, and of all the
filthy trees in the town none are more
filthy than some that are dragging out
a miserable existence in the Govern
ment nursery, under which the Board
must pass every time they enter the
place from King street. Many trees
and plants that are usually exempt
from blight, are here simply covered
with insects bearing eloquent testimony
to the utter neglect of the Board in
regard to things right before their
eyes, and there can be no doubt, L
think, that the Government nursery is

bred and distributed many thousands
of cryptolamnus, yidalia, and other
lady-birds, and in consequence the
blight was reduced to quite harmless
proportions. although previous to such
distribution the pests had been almost

STEAMERS
ARE LIABLE
Investigation of Aliens
In Territory Is
Completed.

F. NJ. Bechtel, Inspector of Immigra-
ton here, has completed the collection
of data for report upon INDECENT or
criminal aliens in Territorial institu-
lions and will send it on to Washing
ton, on the first steamer.
He has now visited all the islands of
the group and is compiling his report.
The instructions of Commissioner Cen
eral Sargent under which Mr.. Bechtel
is working indicate that the Territory
can hold the steamship companies
liable for aliens in prisons or jails,
while private institutions can make the
same claim. The instructions say:
In prior to landing cases the cost of
maintenance, at rates agreed on be-
tween the institution making the
charges and the bureau, from the date
the case is first reported to an immi-
grafton officer until deportation takes
place, is proper charge against the
steamship or line by which the alien
reached this country. Bills against the
proper vessel or company, fully item
lied, rendered in duplicate and properly
receipted, stating the name of the
alien, shall be forwarded to the bu-
reau of immigration, through the same
immigration official to whom the case
was originally reported, for collection
of the account and transmission Of pro-
,ceeds to payee. In subsequent to land
ing cases, rule II of the immigration
regulations provides that, within the
period Of one year from landing, the
tenance will only be paid by the bureau
of immigration at fixed rates agreed
upon. Institutions desiring to avail
themselves of the benefit of this cir
cular shall submit to the bureau of i'm
migration, through the nearest immi-
the maintenance and treatment of dis
eased and dependent aliens, which
scale shall be approved by the bureau
before payment is authorized in any
case. Particular attention should be
invited to the fact that aliens who be-
come public charges from causes aris-
ing subsequent to landing cannot be
deported except by their own consent
(Which fact must be stated in original
report of the case), and the entire ex-
pense of delivery at the seaport from
which deportation is to take place must
be betrayed by the state, county or
municipality, as the case may be-, since
it is not a proper charge against the
government.

TN, IS that the important matter in cul-
tlVallon Is the increase of the nunls
IN the soil. The Cecil clay n Cecil
county makes % to 80 bushels of wheat
per acre because it has been farmed in
a rotation that has increased the natural
humus content OF the land, which is in
the first place, greater than on similar
soils IN the South. In the northern
county Of Maryland the winter snow fall
is generally quite heavy and the forest
leaves are packed down to decay where
they fall In the Southern Piedmont
the leaves in the open forests are blown
from the hills in winter to the hollo7ys,
and when the land is cleared there is :.
smaller amount of humus present than
il the more northern section ana this
i.umus content has been still further re-
duced by bad cultivation. Since as the

Mr. j. B. Stokes of Windsor, who was
absent the first day, was present yester-
day First the Board heard the remand

State Veterinarian.
DR.. Butler said that the cattle ticks

are rot becoming less, because Where
the farms are half-infested the cattle not
affected are susceptible to the disease.
There is still great deal of hog cholera,
he said, and as soon as We realize that
this is a germ disease and incurable, we
will do more to keep the germs from
the stock by every possible means Dr.
Butler also discussed the work being done
to increase the interest in stock breeding.
