spent ten days on the tract, making 

 surveys and topoi^rai^hical maj)S and 

 outlining a plan of action for the re- 

 forestation project. 



The tract consists of 1,700 acres 

 and has practically all been lumbered 

 over for pulp wood by the National 

 Paper Products Company and its pre- 

 decessor, the Carthage Tissue Paper 

 Company. It is now proposed to 

 plant about seventy-five acres this 

 year and each year a certain amount 

 until the tract is completely reforest- 

 ed. Several pulp and papepr com- 

 panies in this region are now reforest- 

 ing their Adirondack tracts and it is' 

 likely that many others will follow 

 suit in future years. 



REFORESTATION A PUBLIC 

 JOB. 



Federal and provincial govern- 

 ments should contribute appropria- 

 tions for reforestation purposes in 

 Canada, said Mr. A. E. Clark, of To- 

 ronto, in an address to the Electric 

 Club, for " the very high cost of re- 



producing forests is the reason why 

 lumbermen and timber interests 

 should not be blamed for lack of ac- 

 tivity along reforestation lines. No 

 lumber concern is justified in making 

 reforestation investments which will 

 not fruitify for at least one hundred 

 years, although ])ulp wood and similar 

 grades can be r(,])ri iducerl in from 

 thirty to forty years. Governments 

 have so far seen fit to shirk this ob- 

 ligation." 



There should be no comparison, he 

 said, between, reforestation methods of 

 European countries and Canada. The 

 soils were different and the methods 

 ado])ted in Europe are entirely inap- 

 ])lical)le here.
