Under the new listing law Their

questions are the following: Number
pounds sugar made last year; num-
Der gallons syrup made last year;
number trees tapped; number trees
available not tapped; number acres
cultivated land in the farm; number
acres pasture land; number acres for

These statistics are desired not for
taxation purposes, but to secure sta
tistics as to the resources of the
state. During the past ten years Yer
mont has dropped to second place in
the production of maple sugar and II
is desirable to find out whether this
is due to decrease In the number of
trees or whether 1t Is because fewer
trees are tapped. 1t Is also important
for the agricultural and forestry de-
partments Of the state to secure some
accurate figures in these lines on

of the state. If each real estate own.
