I.N MEM0R_IAM : (con' t from page 3)

F. G. KRAUS S (1870 - 1962)

Frederick George Krauss was born in San Francisco,: California, May 6, 1870,
and died in Honolulu, June 6,; 1962, at the age of 92. An educator, agriculturist,
practical farmer, good citizen and father of an outstanding family, he was a .
kindly man whose friendly, helpful thoughts and energetic, purposeful work has
advanced many enterprises in Hawaii and throughout the Pacific area. He has been
called the "father of diversified agriculture in Hawaii.",

Mr. Krauss, was educated in the schools of San Francisco, Stanford, University,
the University of California and University of Berlin, and was given an honorary
Doctor of Science degree by the University of Hawaii in 1921.

After conducting seed-growing and crop experiments and teaching botany in
California, he came to Hawaii, August 1, 1901, as instructor in agriculture at the
Kamehameha Schools. He became agronomist -with the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment
Station in 1906; studied rice, cotton and other crops in Japan and China for the
Hawaii Board of Agriculture and Forestry in 1909; and was professor of agriculture
at the College of Hawaii from 1911-1912.

Then, to demonstrate that dirt farming eou Id be made a success in Hawaii, he
took his family to Maui and established the "New Era Homestead" farm bri 50 acres
at Haiku. With the development of agricultural extension by the College of
Hawaii, Mr. Krauss became its Maui superintendent, and the Homestead became an
experimental farm, making outstanding contributions during World War I.

When the college became tho University of Hawaii in 1921, Dr, Krauss was
persuaded to return to the campus, as Professor of Agronomy and Genetics, and from
August, 1929, until he retired in September, -1936,: he w^s Director of the Agri-
cultural Extension Service. During 1927-28 he carried out ext ensive> agricultural
exploration throughout the Orient, Malaya and ; India.

.j. He served as a consultant for many projects. He became a member of the Ha-
waiian Homes Commission in 1935, serving it so well that a street in Papakolea
was named in his honor. He was a member of many Scientific organizations arid was
a charter member of the Hawaiian Botanical Society. We, the members of this
Society, desire to record our deep appreciation of the many valuable contributions
which Dr. Krauss has made, and to express our Aloha to his family.

Dr. Harold Mouat, Head of the Pomology Dept., Fruit Research Division, De-
partment of Science and Industrial Research of the New Zealand Government,
Auckland, New Zealand, and Dr. James W. Cameron, Geneticist, Department of
Horticulture, University of California at Riverside, California, are East-West

Preservation note: A member of the botany faculty was collecting some plant
specimens for his class. He was stopped by the campus police and reprimanded
for taking portions of the plants, and was informed that there were many rare
plants on the campus. This awareness of the necessity of preserving plants by
the University's protection arm has resulted in the issuance of "collecting per-
mits."

BOTANICAL NOTES

Dr. Pierre Qhouard) Professor of Botany, Sorbonne University, Paris, France,
spent two days in Hawaii. One was on the island of Oahu, and the other on the
island of Hawaii. During this time he collected about 400 herbarium numbers of
plant and seed specimens. His field is plant physiology, but his interests lie
in all botanical fields.

WANTED: PLANTS - - Dr. Charles Wright of the Food & Agriculture Organization
of the United Nations in Santiago, Chile, was here for one day. He is concerned
with the revegetation of Easter Island, located at 28° South Latitude and with an
average rainfall of 49 inches per year, of which 40 inches is lost by evaporation.
He wants to obtain seeds of Hawa^.ian plants' which will grow on the island. Anyone
who can assist in this project should send seeds to Dr. C. H» Lamoureux (Chairman,
Dept, of Botany, University of Hawaii) by December 10, 1962.

There are about 2,000 people and 50,000 small sheep (about the size of a
large cat) on the island. Dr. Wright's itinerary includes New Zealand and Rome
before his return to Chile in January, 1963. The seeds will be sent to Easter on
the annual Chilean Navy supply boat. It will remain at Easter for one week, re-
turning to the island the following year.

Mr . H Ivan Rainwater , Inspector in ChargCj Plant Quarantine Division, Agri-
cultural Research Service, U. S. Department -of Agriculture, Honolulu, attended the
Western Plant Board in Sacramento and the Federal Plant Quarantine Port ; Conference
in San Francisco. He chaired the discussion on airport staffing and plans to visit
other mainland Plant Quarantine ports. Mr. Marshall M. Ross, Principal Assistant,
is Acting Inspector in Charge until mid-November when Mr. Rainwater returns.

W. W. Goodale Moir will be spending the next few months on an extensive orchid
collecting trip around the world. Some of the plants will be added to the Foster
Botanical Garden's orchid collection.

Dr. E. J. Britten has been appointed to the Society's Membership Committee,
vice Kamemoto, for the remainder of the year.

CONSERVATION COUNCIL FOR HAWAII

The general meeting of the Conservation Council for Hawaii will be held on
November 8 (Thursday) at 7:30 p. m. , Agee Hall, HSPA Experiment Station. Mr.
Robert Wenkam will give an illustrated talk entitled, "Open Space -- Oahu's Dis-
appearing Wealth." The* business meeting agenda includes consideration of the
revised constitution, committee (land, water, flora, fauna, sites and recreation)
reports and election of officers.

The constitution was revised by a special committee (Charles Lamoureux,
chairman; members; Agnes Conrad, John Mink, Ernest Holt, Michael Ord, David San-
ford, William V. Ward, Herbert Welder and Robert Wenkam). The object of the re-
vision was to enable the Council to become more effective in furthering the aims
of conservation in Hawaii today. The revised constitution provides for emphasiz-
ing the individual member rather than organizations or agencies, more frequent
general meetings (quarterly), election of officers in November (rather than Feb-
ruary) in order that the organization be running smoothly at the time the Legis-
lature is in session, a Recreation Committee, administrative committees concerned
with legislation and education, greater flexibility of operation by the Council
and Executive Board, and increased participation by individuals in the work of
the permanent committees. If the revision is adopted by the membership, then
the November meeting will become the Annual Meeting and annual reports will be
presented and officers for the next year elected.

The nominating committee proposes the following names for election at the
Annual Meeting: Dr. Roland W. Force, President; Dr. E. J. Britten, Vice President
Mr . H . R . We Ider , Jr . , Secretary; Miss I. Brubacher, Treasurer. Committee Chair-
men: Mr. R. Hefty, Land; Mr. P. H. N. Kendall, Water; Dr. C. H. Lamoureux, Flora;
Dr. H. Fringe, Fauna; Mr. T. Damron, Sites; and Mr. L. Gill, Recreation.

The Society's representatives to the Council are: Donald Anderson and Alvin
K. Chock.

The first issue of the Council's Newsletter was published last month.
