SUGAR SEASON HALTED.
Nevertheless Good Output of the
Fruit Of the Maple is Expected.

The maple sugar season which got
good start Monday and Tuesday OF
this week got halted yesterday by the
poor weather conditions, and there was
no run Of sap at all Today was SINH
uar. Nevertheless the sngar-makers are
quite positive that there will be good
season. They base their predictions
more or less on the thunder storm Of
last week, believeing that that storm
indicates late spring and plenty of
opportunity for the sap to run. The
quality Of the sugar thus far made has
been rather better than the average.
Those who tapped early have been
quite successful Among the number is
+. G. Little of Barre town Out Of
1000 trees he has cleaned up 64 gallons
oil syrup and had every spoonful Of il
snapped up so quickly on the local
market that the cans hadn't time to
cool before they we're in the hands Of
the consumers.
The woods back in the country are
still knee deep with snow which makes
the work Of gathering sap easy.

but has formed quite large jam there,
which may cause trouble. Men win also
be put at work near the railroad bridge
at the Junction to make an outlet for
the ice, which is now going out rapidly
The high water has not yet done any
damage, but at Ithe rate the river Is

Up to this time there has been no
