Ever active, ever JOYOUS,
Come the swallows in the barn.
Little swallows, happy swallows.
Such as paired and scared and sung.

When our hearts and hopes were

When the spell of springtime lures us
And the herald violets warn

Come the swallows in the barn.

Bearing in their feathered bosoms,
Tales of travel all unguessed,
Of aerial journeys lying

Shared of yore by human brothers
But forgotten now by man.

And my spirit has been stirred

Like the sunshine or the dew,

as TO the maple sugar crop in his state.
Beginning at the end of the statement,
he says that the production amounted
to go pounds per tree and he puts the
total product at 10000, 430 pounds. The
hSures are conservative, one may as
sumo, as there must have been small or
chards OF which no return was made
He finds, further, that the price of ma
PIE sugar ran to % cents a hound
against shade less than l9 last wear
and the price of syrup this year was
81 IS the gallon against $l.S7 in 1917.
Twelve million pounds of sugar this
year Is quantity not to be despised
and the only regret is that Vermont
could not have trebled the quantity. not
only because of the wealth which the
state would have secured thereby. but
also because, so far as the confectioners
are concerned, maple sugar is a welcome
substitute for the cane article. ANY
thing which win lessen the demand for
that is worth respectful consideration.
The figures given include Vermont
only for as yet nothing is forthcoming
as to the other New England states
which, III their way, are also producers
OF maple sugar and syrup, the total, if
one might know it, being considerable.
1t can be remembered with thankful
ness that when the beet and the sugar
cane have yielded their quota of sugar
they have given their all and are at an
end but the sugar maple remains and
