ENTOMOJOGIST CRAW IS
READY TO WAR ON PESTS
THE LAND ABOVE THE RESERVE
LINE.

I THE LAND ABOVE THE RESERVE
LINE.
Above seventeen hundred feet the
land rises more steeply than at lower
elevations and the soil is thinner. This
fact combined with the greater rainfall
and the consequently greater erosion
makes these upper lands less desirable
for agriculture Furthermore. as many
of the gulches split up at this elevation
into ravines and gullies, the fields in
themselves are smaller and less easily
managed.
1t is an axiom on Hawaii that success
in the matter of homesteads Is very
largely question of transportation. In
wet district like Illo IL Is next To
impossible to get the crop grown on
the land to market without roads-un-
less like cane, 1t can be llumed. This
is not the place to discuss the road
question, nor whether homestead roads
should be built by the government or
by the settlers themselves. Ii is enough
to say that even under the most ia
vorable conditions, it will be a long
time before there will be money enough
to build roads to the higher elevations
in the Hilo District, or before such
roads can be considered as u paying
investment.
The foregoing observations apply, of
course, only to the Government lands,
but on the privately owned lands the
line chosen has the advantage of al
lowing the plantations the leeway
which many of them desire for posi-
BILE future growth.
1t is not the intention of this report
to convey the idea that the land up to
the proposed line should at once be
cleared. On the contrary, the forest
because of it's beneficial influence,
should be allowed to remain intact as
long as possible, but If the time does
come when the land is more needed for
other purposes then for forest, it is be-
lieved that the forest below the line
may then be cleared without detriment
to the best interests of all concerned.
If these recommendations be approx
ed by the Board / recommend that the
Governor be requested to set aside, as
soon as practicable, all the government
lands lying above the proposed line and
extending up to an upper line, the loca-
ton of which is to be determined in the
near future.
/ further recommend that the owners
of private lands within this reserve be
encouraged to turn them over to the
Government under the terms of Act A.
Respectfully submitted,
RALPH $. HOSMER,
Superintendent of Forestry.

to such change In detail of said Local
ton as is recommended by the Super
intendent of Forestry In his report up
on this subject, dated August 8, 1904,
and on file in the records of the board
Resolved, that the Superintendent of
Forestry be and he hereby Is instruct
ed and directed to secure as speedily
as practicable detail description and
map of the said boundary line of said
forest reservation; I'm order that the
same may be referred to the Governor
for his approval In accordance with the

| While / do not recommend the gen.
eral clearing, at this time, of all the
government land lying below the 1850
4 contour line, in the lilo district,
think that If 1t is found advisable to
open this Honomu tract for settlement,
| that 1t can be safely done, provided
such reservations as are outlined be-
low are carried into effect.
CONDITIONS TO BE OBSERVED.
AT Honomu the local conditions of
the water shed of limited area, on
which "A plantation depends for its sup
ply. together with the presence of
springs in and near the existing forest
make necessary the following restric-
tons: The upper line of the tract
should be drawn between definite and
easily recognized points-such as hills,
functions of ridges or ravines, marked
angles in streams etc.--at an elevation
of approximately 1850 feet above
the sea. The section between
the Paheehee and Honomu, above the
| ditch of the Honomu Sugar Company.
connecting these streams, on account
of its swampy character and because
of the springs therein, should not be
cleared. Furthermore n strip of 100
feet ought to be reserved along the
edges of the main gulches to protect
the vegetation In them. When forest
of the type of that in the Hilo district
| Is cleared, the trees along the outer
edge of the remaining woods die on
account of the changed conditions. BY
setting aside such strip as is pro-
posed to act as 1t were as buffer,
the vegetation in the gulches will be
Protected, with the result of lessening

POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED.

In deciding upon the location of the
lines of permanent forest reserve 1t
is necessary TO consider future as well
as present needs. a number of con-
siderations have thus to be taken into
account. among which are the benefits
to be derived and the uses to which
the land would be put If cleared. The
former have already been discussed.
or the latter in the Hilo district there
are practically only two; the further
extension of the cane fields and the
opening of tracts for settlement.
At present, with the exception OF
what is raised on the homestead clear
ings, cane is the only crop grown sys-
tematically at the higher elevations.
The upper line of the cane fields varies
with each plantation. AT the western
end of the district, owing to the steep
er grade, the cane runs up to about
1900 feet. on the plantations in the
center of the district the highest cane
ranges from 1900 to 1900 feet. While
back of Hilo on the more gently slop-
ing lands of Kaumana and Piihonua
1t runs up to 1900 and 1000 feet. The
following table compiled from aneroid
measurements, checked in part by
known elevations, gives approximately
the highest points on each plantation
in the districts. These points are, as
well. the lower edge of the existing
forest.
