It has been borne in upon the minds of the people of Quebec thai in their vast forests of spruce they have a natural resource which will, if properly conserved, yield great wealth to the province for all time to come. The disappearance of the pulpwood forests in the Eastern United States has given to the spruce of Quebec a value far beyond what was ever expect- ed until a few years ago, and al- ready a great pulpwood produc- ing industry has grown up in many parts of the province. It is not an exaggeration to assert that Quebec, as a pulpwood, and even as a pulp and paper produc- ing province, will, in the course of a very few years, occupy a fore- most place among all the pulpwood producing countries of the world. Not only is this already assured, but Quebec occupies the enviable position of being able to depend upon a practically everlasting supply of pulpwood, if these resources are exploited in a manner regulated by reasonable precaution against destruction by fire and practical op- erating methods based upon modern principles of conservation. Realizing the great opportunities thus presented, many of the more progressive lumbermen in the province of Quebec are devoting their attention and their means to the building up of pulpwood, pulp and paper producing industries in those localities which present favor- able conditions, of which fortunately there are many.
