The art Of making maple sugar dates
back to the early pioneer days of New
England, and even beyond that, for Il
was practiced by the American In.
dians. The settlers in Vermont
learned it from them and depended al
most entirely upon the maple for their
domestic sugar supply. Indeed, within
a generation or so 1t was used to a
considerable extent In place Of com
mon sugar In localities where 1t was
made. IL Is a strictly American In
dustry, as the sugar maple does not
grow naturally in Europe; and in the
minds Of many is perhaps more close
~ associated with sentiment than
most any other branch Of farm work.
A generation ago the sugar season
was a regular part of the yearly pro-
gram in certain regions and sugar
ing" was an important source Of reYe-
nue. to the farmers. Although the place
of maple sugar and sirup in the do
nestle economy has materially
changed and these products have
been aduIterated and initiated 10 an
extent calculated to drive the pure
article entirely out Of the market, the
industry has persisted. and has now
become largely a specialized business
devoted to the production of what has
become a luxury
The returns of the last census show
that sugar making is carried on upon
nearly 5000 farms, and repre-
sents a money value in the prod
ucts of upwards Of $3,OOO,000 in a fair
year. The average maple sugar crop
IS placed at approximately 45,OOO,OOO
pounds, although 1t tiuCtuates consid-
erably with the season. The last cen
sus year, which was an unusually poor
one, owing to the unfavorable weather
and the prevalence Of the forest tent
caterpillar which defoliated the trees,
che crop fell to less than 3O,OOOOOO
pounds. II is made principally in Yer
mont, New Hampshire, New York
Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania, Yer
mont leading all the other states and
producing from fourth to a third OF
the crop. Ohio is the greatest sirup-
producing state, and in 1900 made
nearly onehalf Of the total product,
or nearly 100000 gallons.
While improvements have been made
in the mechanical operations of the
Industry over the primitive methods
formerly employed, very little has
been definitely known about the the
cries Of the flow of sap and the condi-
lions influencing it. These, of course,
must lie at the bottom of intelligent
sugar making.
The cause of the rise Of sap is a
physiological one, due to several in
fuences, but not, as was formerly sup
posed, to root pressure, This the in
vestlgation clearly showed Early in
the season the ground is covered with
snow which protects the roots. Now
come a few typical sap days-freez-
fng at night followed by a warm day.
The limbs and trunk Of the tree are
warmed, pressure Is produced, and
goodly flow of sap follows. The roots
and portion of the trunk below where
# Is tapped do not heat up like the
upper part Of the tree; hence the
pressure Of the sap Is greater from
above than from below. Towards night
the tree cools down again, and the
how gradually ceases A freeze oc
