as good syrup as he ever made was
made from frozen carr. The best
method of manufacture vas then taken
up, Mr.. Patchen leadin, off. recon-
Eending that syrup nevG be made in
galvanized pans. Mr.. hatfeld could
make as good syrup in a galvanized
pan as any other.
Best method of manufacture was
then discussed. Prof. Swenson ex-
planned the process of defacation with
lime and litmus tests. Also explained
the principles of the vacuum pan. show
ing that syrup will boil at about 100
degrees less temperature than in open
pans. illustrating by diagram on black
board. Mr.. Hanson thought that the
time has come when small manufac-
tories must succumb to larger ones.
Mr. Hanson read paper on the early
method OF manufacturing in this state,
showing how he commenced with a
wooden roller mill and sheetiro pan,
and then the ron mill and improved
evaporators.
Report of cemmittees on samples
was read by the secretary as follows

after careful investigation they were

Geo. Grant, of GAINESVILLE, on motion,
