MAPLE SUGAR SEASON.

Within Il few weeks Vermont
farmers will begin harvesting one of
their most profitable crops, maple
sugar and syrup. The prospects
for Il good season were never better
and those who own extensive
orchards are making preparations
accordingly.
The sugar season usually lasts
from March Is to April 20 and four
so-called good sap runs may usually
be counted on between these dates.
In good season thrifty tree will
produce 20 gallons of sap and this
will produce about three qurts of
syrup. AS it requires II pounds or
one gallon of syrup to give seven
and a halt pounds of sugar one can
readily realize the valic OF a large
sugar bush and the amount of
money that is distributed annually
among sugar makers throughout the
sugar belt.
The following figures giving the
production of the several sugar and
syrup producing states will be Of
interest:
States. lbs. sugar. gals. syrup.
Vermont, I4,I,3,o2I clS,25:
New York, lo,4S5,6s3 457,65S
Ohio, I.S7S,s62 72s,I42
Michigan, 1,o4I, 40. lo7,475
PENNSYLVANIA, I,osI.I6s I54,65o
New Hampshire s,Is4,5I5 SI,o07
Total sugar, 44,462,4o3
From the above it will be seen
that Vermont leads in quantity as
well as quality of sugar produced,
but as the vast maple forests in the
Adirondacks become developed,
New York state will soon lead Ver-
mont. Men like DR.. w. Seward
Webb, John d. Rockefeller, Mr..
Low and others, all of whom own
large tracts of maple forests, can tap
thousands of trees and as the de-
mand for maple sugar is increasing
and the industry is profitable men
with financial ability will soon take
advantage of this class of property.
