POOR SUGAR PROSPECTS.


Deep snow and Raw ages Of Worms VI Ike
the Outlook Dubinus.
Bellows Fhls. March 2G The outlook
for the maple sugar crop in Vermont is
very dubious. TIE season is late aud in
The woods now the snow is from six to
eight feet deep. This combined wI'h the
Tavages for the past two years of the
tent caterpillar is c1using the producer
much concern.
For some months careful invcstiga-
ton has been carried on through the state
to determine the extent of the damage
done to the maple sugar industry. The
results show that the production has fall
en- off more than one half AMI that the
quality is below the standard. In some
sections the maple trees have suffered TO
an extent that threatens the total de-
struction of some of the best orchards in
the state The Vermont Maple Sugar
Makers market, an organization of the
leading producers in the state. which last
season expected to handle at least 5000
gallons OF syrup, received less than 300
gallons. They had orders unlimited
from carloads down but nothing with
which to fill them.
Early in the season when the shortage
first became apparent, the manager wrote
to 30 leading sugar producers in all
parts of Vermont. asking this question
"Wero the maple trees in your locality
seriously injured by the tent caterpillar
last season." over 30 per cent of the
an, wers received from Orange. Windsor
and Bennington counties showed damage
10 great extent, even to the total de-
struction of orchards in some sections.
All through the state vigorous
measures were taken to stamp OUT the
pest spraying was resorted 70 and in
many of the towns the old hand fire
engines were used to apply the solution.
This treatment had little effect. The
worms increased and soon t h
Vermont newspapers were publishing
reports from all sections Of the state,
showing the damage to be widespread.
y record was kept of these reports aud
the last of June, at the passing of the
caterpillar into the cocoon stage, reports
from s. towns out Of the PIG in the state
had bren noted. With few exceptions
the reports showed a very serious con.
dition. Since then reports from IS other
towns have been received mostly from
the southern end of the state. These
reports are more alarming than the
earlier ones. Orchards that were affected
/ but little the year before aud lived.
/ failed to 90 through last season and this
winter hundreds ST maple trees have
been cut down and turned into lumber.
Here in Vermont the tent caterpillar
has not confined its destructive work to
/ the maple trees alone. The apple and
pear orchards have suffered severely and
many of the fine old elm trees, which
adorn many of the village streets, have
been ruined but the chief damage has
been to the sugar maple and unless some
radical remedy is discovered, the maple
sugar industry, for years the staple
product Of Vermont is destined 10
certain destruction.
