9rDUNNSVILLE, VA, June 29.-There% Is
much complaint among the farmers about

HONOLULU'S PIONEER
TREE PLANTERS

When the first missionaries landed
ON the site of the present city of Ho-
noIulu they found a treeless plain ev-
erywhere cut up into taro patches,
which the natives cultivated assiduous-
ly. knowing the value of standing
timber for shade and shelter the mis-
sionaries began planting trees and
shrubs as soon as possible, and
in few years the change
produced very noticeable.
Over fifty years ago. however, DR.. Hill
lebrand, an enthusiastic botanist, 10
Gated here and he set resolutely to work
acclimatizing rare ornamental and
useful plants and shrubs. By his ex-
ample an impetus was given to tree
planting, which has had the effect of
changing not merely the face of natures
but in modifying the climate as well.
Honolusu's residence section is fairly
embroidered by outrageous trees, the
air is laden with the perfume of flow
ers and the eye is charmed by the
variety of bloom every month in the
year. The voyager who steps ashore
here is filed with admiration of the
landscape and the novelty of a busy
seaport presenting many aspects of
tropical Dark.-Paradise.
