'T'HE idea of reforestation to provide for 

 the future wood supplies of large pulp 

 and paper industries is spreading rapidly. 

 The Laurentide Company, Ltd., and the 

 Riordon Pulp and Paper Company, Ltd., 

 will plant 750,000 and 900,000 spruce, re- 

 spectively, besides some pine. Price Broth- 

 ers, Ltd., are starting a nursery and will 

 make a small plantation. The Canada 

 Paper Company will plant on a small 

 scale. The Belgo-Canadian Pulp and 

 Paper Company, Ltd., and the Abitibi 



meeting and this bids fair to be one of the 

 most interesting and important meetings 

 ever held to discuss lumbering and fores- 

 try. Logging methods, slash disposal, re- 

 forestation, the diameter limit regulation, 

 fire protection and other subjects will be 

 thoroughly discussed. The Laurentide 

 Company has issued a cordial invitation to 

 the members of the Section and their 

 guests to visit its nurseries and plantations 

 near Grad' Mere after the Berthier meet- 

 ing. American lumbermen and foresters 



His Majesty, King George, congratulates a Canadian lumberjack on his uncommon skill in felling a tree. 



Pulp and Paper Company are preparing 

 their plans for an extensive planting pro- 

 gram. No word has been received from the 

 Pejepscot Company, which was one of the 

 pioneers in reforestation and which has 

 been planting at intervals for some years. 

 If the plantations of these important com- 

 panies are successful the movement will 

 spread rapidly and will be a great benefit 

 to the industry placing it on a more perma- 

 nent basis than ever before. 



The Council of the Woodlands Section 

 of the Pulp and Paper Association have 

 decided to accept the invitation of Mr. G. 

 C. Piche, Chief Forester of Quebec, to 

 hold a conference the end of June at the 

 Quebec Government Nursery at Berthier- 

 ville, about 40 miles from Montreal. He 

 has kindly consented to let the Section have 

 the use of the commodious building for the 



are heartily invited to attend and take part 

 in the discussions. 



The Berthier Nurseries have been in 

 operation for a number of years and have 

 supplied a large amount of planting stock 

 and also ornamental and windbreak trees 

 to farmers. The Government now proposes 

 to increase the output as soon as possible 

 to five million trees per annum. This will 

 make this one of the largest nurseries in 

 the country and will enable the Govern- 

 ment to supply limit holders with trees and 

 also to undertake planting on its own 

 account. 



Dr. J. S. Bates, since its inception the 

 chief of the Dominion Government Forest 

 Products Laboratories, at McGill Univer- 

 sity, Montreal, has resigned his position to 

 direct a research department for Price
