The sugar season is late but we may
make fair amount of sugar. In 1887 the
sugar season commenced April 4th ending
May 7th, and the farmers averaged to
make four pounds per tree. In 1843 snow
was four feet deep until we'll into A pril
when warm weather came on, and in one
week the snow all disappeared, and there
was no sugar made, as the weather contin-
ued warm without freeze. In 1S47 the
first sap day was April 18th, the snow was
four feet deep and a lot of sugar was
made. The amount of sugar made de-
season, and we connot tell what it may be
during the next few weeks.
