A daring and bold attempt
was made last Friday night to
blow up and rob the postoiiice
at Ovalo. The party or parties
who made the attempt were
evidently scared off and after
wards lost their nitroglycerin or
else lost it before entering the
building and when it come to
pouring in the dope" it had
been lost and the job had to
be abandoned. This is the COM
monty accepted theory, as an en-:
trance had been affected ana
the safe 'soaped" and made
ready for the explosion and
then left for some reason or
other.

WIDE SCOPE OF WORK DONE BY SUGAR PLANTERS ASSOCIATION is
SHOWN BY THE COMPREHENSIVE REPORTS OF ITS SEVERAL COMMITTEES

the Anomala Orientalis, has mae its
appearance here and is being closely
watched by the entomologists; most
promising experiments are being con-
Quoted with Hawaiian seeding canes !;
fungus and other cane diseases are
being carefully studied; in fact the
magnitude of the work being carried
on by the station in its various de-
partments has reached dimensions
little dreamt of a few years age.
While this development in every di-
rection, is necessarily accompanied
by a corresponding increase in the
annual cost of carrying on the work
of the station, tho results already
achieved have been of such inestim-
able value to the sugar industry here,
and the continuation of the inyestiga-
tions and scientific control of our
fields and factories is of such enorm-
Gus advantage to every plantation
manager in these islands, that there
is hardly room for two opinions re-
garding the absolute necessity of con-
tinuing to conduct the experimental
station along the progressive lines
that are now being followed.

regards the identity of the grubs in
question.
Some progress has been made in the
study of this pest, but the feeding
habits of the adult beetles remain yet
to be ascertained. In this they differ
frem the Japanese rose beetle, which
feed so extensively on the foliage of
many kinds of plants. A bacterial dis
ease has been found, by Mr.. Muir, to
10 killing many of the grubs. 1t may
be that this disease has been active
in keeping the pest in check heretofore
and that the past Ie9son has not been
so favorable for the propagation of the
responsible bacteria, thus allowing the
grubs to increase TO an unusual ex-
tent.
Some search has failed to find this
pest in any other district of the Is
lands. Enough is not known yet con-
corning it to permit the entOmOlogiStS
to venture an opinion as to whether it
is likely to spread and become a Seri-
Gus pest; but it will need close watch
ing and any circumstances tending to
indicate its presence elsewhere in the
Islands should be promptly investi-

HORRIBLY PARASITES

AS in the three previous years the
chronological staff has had the hand
ling Of the hOrntiy parasite material
sent from Europe by Mr.. Rochelle. A
considerable number of shipments of
small lots of this material were receiv-
Cd during the year lust closed. but
mostly during October md November,
1911. While a few PARASITES were
successfully bred. the numbers emery
ing at any one time were so small as
to offer but small chan"c of accom-
Fishing anything with theF They
were chiefly Cynjpid fly Of the genus
Figites. They failed 70 breed in the
cages prepared for this purpose and
although a few were liberated at Gif-
ferent tines in the best aYaila bic
places. Mr.. Swezey is OF the opinion
that the prospects Of thej" becoming
established are not encouraging.
The favorable season for sending
trese parasites from Europe is now al
