suits were slightly In favor Of tap
ping on the south side of the tree
over any other points Of the compass.
although the advantage was chiefly
noticeable on bright days. There was
little difference between the south and
east sides. but the west side gave the
least flow. On cloudy days. whan
all sides of the tree warm up equally
fast, the flow wa8 about the same all
around the tree. 1t Is clear that a
tree should not be tapped on a side
shaded by other trees. notably ever
greens.
The larger the hole bored for the
spout. the more sap and sugar were
obtained, but owning to the draining
of the tree and the difficulty OF heal
ing over where large holes are used. it
is recommended to tap with a three
eighths to tive-eighths inch bit. The
largest yields OF. sap and sugar were
invariably derived from the tissues
nearest the bark, the yield decreasing
as the depth OF. the hole increased.
and in general way the sugar con.
tent likewise For larger trees a
depth OF three inches was found suffi.
cient, and for smaller second-growth
trees an inch and half or two inch
tappings are recommended. according
to the size of the tree. More and bet
ter quality Of sap was obtained by
tapping about four feet high than at
the ground level or higher on the
tree. The spouts high up "a feeD
ceased running first. Tap holes placed
one above another, as is frequently
done. were found to affect each other.
even though they were several feet
apart. The larger part OF the sap and
nearly two-thirds OF the sugar were
obtained in the forenoon's run.
1t has been suggested that the tree
should be tapped on the side where
there are the most branches. wnen
there Is marked difference in this
respect, on the theory that the sugar
is elaborated on the side where the
leaves are. Three years experiments
on this point. with trees that had ap
proximately nine-tenths OF their
branches on one side. showed that In
such trees the sugar is distributed
throughout the trees, and could be
tapped out as well from one side as
another.
These facts regarding the flow OF
maple sap, brought out for the first
time in this study. have a practical
bearing In the management Of sugar
orchards. The variation observed In
the amount Of sugar in the sap of diff.
ferent orchards points out why 1t costs
some sugar makers more to make q
pound of sugar than 1t does others.
The location Of the trees and ex.
posure to the light are important
items. Trees well exposed to sun.
light give more and richer sap than
those which are crowded and shaded,
for their leaf expansion is usually
greater, and they have more chance to
get the bright sunlight. Hence tree
of inferior production might frequent
ly be sacrificed with benefit to those
around 1t. The typical tree for large
run of rich sap Is described as one
having short cylindrical trunk, and
a large branching system beginning
about ten feet from the ground. which
provides for abundant foliage and
large leaf area.
This piece Of work indicates anew
the value Of systematic experiment
and Investigation, even in the most
commonplace branches Of farm prac-
tice.
The Ordway new era., 1915-03-19

The art Of making maple sugar dates
back to the early pioneer days of New
England, and even beyond that. for 1t
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
generation or SO 1t was used to a
considerable extont In place of COM
mon sugar In localities where 1t was
made. 1t 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
ly associated with sentiment than
most any other branch of farm work.
A generation ago the sugar season
was regular part Of the yearly pro-
gram in certain regions, and sugar
ing" was an important source of reve-
nue. to the farmers. Although the place
Of maple sugar and sirup In the do
mestic economy has materially
changed, and these products have
been adulterated and Initiated to an
extent calculated to drive the pure
article entirely out Of the market. the
industry has persisted. and has now
become largely 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 $1,000 farms. and repre-
sents a money value in the prod
ucts of upwards OF 100000 In fair
year. The average maple sugar crop
is placed at approximately 45,000.0OO
pounds, although 1t fiuctuates 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,
the crop fell to less than 30.000,000
pounds. 1t 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 one-half 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-
tions influencing 1t. These, of course,
must lie at the bottom Of intelligent
sugar making.
The cause of the rise OF sap Is
physiological one, due to several in
fluences, but not. as was formerly sup
posed, to root pressure. This the In
vestigation clearly showed. Early in
the season the ground is covered with
snow which protects the roots. Now
come a few typical sap days-freez-
ing at night followed by 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
it 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
flow gradually ceases. A freeze oc'
