best ugar-making week in several years
The farmers had to boil night and day
steadily, and even then they could not
keep up with the flow of sap. By the way
did you ever hear of there being such q
run of sap that this spring elixir would
fairly squirt right through the bark of the
tree all over it and even drip from the
branches of the wonderfully prolific maple,
so that draw tubs and holders had to be
put under it to catch the rain of sap? No?
Well, we never did only through imagina-
ton; but the experience of last week has
come pretty close to this miracle. The
prediction by well informed parties is that
the maple sugar production this year will
average three pounds to tree. Henry
Dudley gathered one thousand pals OF
sap in his sugar place last week.
