C. H. Grimm Of Rutland Tries
an Experiment
WHICH WAS SUCCESSFUL
He New Declares That Maple Sugar Can
Be Made Il the Year Around Ex-
cepting June, July and
August

Rutland, Nov. 10. G. II. Grimm Of
this city, the maple sugar expert, an
nounced today the result of a series of
interesting experiments which he has
been conducting for some time past, the
principal object OF which was to prove
that maple sugar may be made in Yer
mont ia the fall as well al the spring.
The experiments were entirely success
ful and the discovery may revolutionize
sugar making in Vermont, as soon as it
perfected
In explaining the discovery Mr.. Grimm
said today that while nearly everybody
believed that sap comes up from the
roots in the spring and then flows back
in the fall, the theory Is erroneous. The
sap never returns to the roots after it
once leaves them. It is entirely con-
sumed by the leaves and tender twigs
and any that Is left when cold weather
Sets in freezes within the wood. When
the sun strikes the tree on warm day
an expansion follows and the pressure
forces the sap ont wherever n wound Is
made. Mr.. Grimm believes that sugar
can be made every month in the year
except june, July and August He
thinks that the quantity to be obtained
in the fall win be small compared with
the spring flow, but perhaps enough can
be secured to bring in q good additional
revenue TO the farmers. Contrary to
the general practice Mr.. Grimm always
uses old wounds in the trees instead Of
making new holes. He opens them by
a roaming process. The method Of MAX
ing sugar in the fall Is not patented but
may be used by any one
