NATURAL RESOURCES OF QUEBEC Reclaiming Waste Land.—One of the first experiments in reclaiming waste land in Quebec by means of tree-planting was begun in 1889 at Oka, by Father Lefebre, a Sulpician priést, who succeeded in reforesting eighteen acres of shifting sands. This thriving plantation provides an illustration of the profits and advantages of reforestation. As in Ontario, the planting of the Forest Service has been devoted mainly to the reclamation of areas of “blow” sand, although a consider- able area of cut-over land has also been replanted. At Lachute, a tract of 300 acres of shifting sands has been reclaimed, partly by planting and partly by the sowing of beach grass. More than 800,000 young spruce and pine trees have been planted at Lachute and are all thriving. Near Berthier Junction and at other places similar reforestation is in progress. In each township reserve and also in the domanial forests, reforestation is being actively carried on by the Government. In this way many of the lands ruined by fire will be reforested by artificial means more quickly than bv nature. Private Companies Interested.—Particularly good work in re- forestation is being done by private companies engaged in the lumbering and pulp industries. The Laurentide Company, Limited, at Grand’ Mere, who were the pioneers in reforestation, planted in 1919 a million trees and transplanted a million and a quarter.
