LIVE STOCK RULES
TO Be ENFORCED
Board Of Agriculture Sends Out Cir
oular Letter Relating to Impor.
tations From the Coast.

There Is considerable difficulty be-
ing encountered In the enforcing OF
the rules OF the bureau OF agricul-
ture and forestry relating to the
importation Of livestock, according
to the statements contained in the
report filed by DR.. Norgaard, Terri
torial veterinarian, at the meeting
of the Board Of Agriculture and
Forestry yesterday.
As result 1t was decided to send
out a circular letter to all steam
ship company agents, calling their
attention to the rules. The letter
says In part:
II would especially call your at
tention to the first paragraph OF
Rule 1, which requires that the In
specting officer be furnished list,
Immediately upon arrival Of any
ship, of all livestock, including poul-
: try and dogs, intended for landing
lin the Territory, and whether listed
on the manifest or not.
"You are further requested to
urge the commanding officer Of any
: vessel of the companies which you
{, represent not to accept for shipment
any horse. stock, cattle, sheep or
: swine unless the same are accompa-
!, MED by the requisite certificate as
specified In the rules of this board.
ANY violation of this rule Will
necessitate the refusal of landing
permit and the return Of the animals
to the port whence they came"
DR.. Norgaard reported that one
case of typical CHAMBERS had been
discovered during the month and
that the animal had been destroy
ed. He also reported that It had
been found that some OF the chick
ems in Hawaii are afflicted with an
eyeworm disease, which will be
dealt with fully in the annual re-
: Iport OF the Office.
\ b. N. Newell, the chronological
inspector at Hilo, reported that HI
was taking a stand against the i'm
portation of dirty potatoes, declar
- ing that the dirt sometimes gave
presentable appearance to potatoe
7 that were unfit for use.
Entomologist Elrnhorn made re
port on the liberation of ladybug
in the Territory. The report states
my attempt to secure larg
consignment of aph:'( eating lady
9. bugs from California was success
- for on February IS l received.
70 large ventilated box with about "a
~ 400 Hippodamia conyergens, whic
were sent to me by Mr.. e. !
Carnes, superintendent of the Stat
insectary OF the State commission I
horticulture OF California. and WEI
delivered to me personally by M
Geo. Compere, who happened to pa
through here on his way to the Or
eht. The insects were in very goc
condition, and of the large numb
only about 1900 had died on Il
n way. This ladybug has been intr
VI duced here before, but as far
found. As l understand, from tho
who ought to know, the numbe
sent were in small lots, and ther
fore undertook the matter of ma
ing a large trial and liberating tho
sands In one place. I have ask
for another sending of same size al
hope to get these in as good CONF
~ ion. My idea Is to liberate the
a In the same localities 50 as to I
r. inforce those already in the field.
- THE ladybugs were distributed
J. follows: Pauoa, 5000; Wahiaw
lnd 5000; Kauai. 5000; Waialae. 800
and Manoa, 1900. The liberati
d. OF the large quantity in this ID
place was for the purpose Of allo
ing the flight up this valley to I
top Of the mountains, should the
sects care to follow their Califorr
habits. The bad weather and u
. certainty of localities on the otf
Islands than Kauai did not perm
~ the distribution to them from Il
a lot. However, should the introdv
" tion prove successful, 1t would be
80 very easy matter to secure lal
