From David G. Fairchild, Dept. Agriculture
Stripping the Bark from a 9-year-old Wattle Tree
new species of plants which can be grown profitably in the United States or in our island possessions. One of the latest suggestions is that the Australian wattle tree, which gives excellent bark for tanning purposes and which grows nearly as rapidly as the bamboo, requiring little care, be introduced into Hawaii. A bulletin on the subject by David G. Fairchild has been published by the department. The accompanying illustration shows a laborer stripping the bark from a wattle tree.
The U. S. Weather Bureau has established a section of its Climate and Crop Service in Hawaii. About 40 voluntary meteorological stations have been established and equipped with instruments of standard pattern and the cooperation of a large number of Climate and Crop correspondents has been secured. The regular issue of weekly Crop Bulletins was began January 9, 1905.
