Hawaiian Islands
Jan. 19 (cont.) With Lloyd. They are dimna and apparently abundant.
Overnight at the Hilo Ankilan where they had excellent Polynesian dancing.
Jan. 20 Went on Beef Breeders Tech. Tour by bus. Viewed cattle and ranges on east and south part of Hawaii on Hawaii Cattle Ranch and smaller ranches. Kikuyu (a Kenya grass) is best forage in high rainfall area (150' to 200'). Eye cancer is a problem and calf crop may only be 60% because of conception difficulties.
Overnight in Kona at Hotel King Kamahameha. Excellent hotel, good Polynesian show.
Jan. 21 The animal breeders and I toured Parker Ranch and the Kamuela U. of H. Exper. Farm. We flew back to Honolulu from Kamuela.
