MISUNDERSTANDING is done for this
year, and on the whole it has been rather
q hard sugar season. Snow has been
very deep in most places, making gather
ing sap very hard. The yield has been
considerably below the average in this
vicinity, as has also the quality.
Spring makes slow progress. The roads
on the hills are very bad, but on the river
they have been unusually good since the
snow went off.
Some of our people are inclined to
force the season a little. as you will
occasionally see straw hat or perhaps
some one with their coat off at work, but
some of us fail to remark amp perceptble
change in the temperature on this account.
