FORESTS-STATISTICS 71 lands which are estimated to comprise over 2,500,000 acres; third, the reforestation of cut-over and burned timber limits, of which it is estimated at least 4,000,000 acres now require treatment; and, lastly, the awakening of public opinion to the importance of this work and the encouragement of local tree planting organizations. A forest nursery was established at Berthierville in 1908 to provide planting material for distribution, and for the replanting projects of the Forest Service. Not only indigenous trees are raised, but a systematic study is made of all trees growing in this latitude. The nursery has a Reforestation—End of second season in transplant beds of spruce stock of over 15,000,000 plants and to date has shipped out more than 4,500,000 trees. Other nurseries have been established at Amos, Roberval, Normandin and in the townships of Parke and Macpés. An additional demand arises from the fact that provision is made by legislation for the creation of township communal forests, and settlers and others are encouraged and assisted to devote a part of their holdings to timber production. Reforestation is being systematically continued in the township forest reserves such as Parke, Kenogami, Macpés, Albanel, Normandin, Parent, Lac-aux-Canards, Laterriere, Cimon, etc., and land unfit for cultivation in municipalities is being planted with young trees. For each acre of land planted with forest trees the owner is entitled to a land order good for twelve dollars on the purchase of public lands.
