MAY GET 20 CENTS
FOR MAPLE SUGAR
And Syrup at $500 a Gallon
Is Predicted
Season Now at Hand, With Prospects
of Great Activity Here

The farmers are mobilizing today
for the opening of the annual maple
sugar season. which is OF more than u.s.
ual importance in view of the nation
wide sugar shortage, Upwards OF five
million maple trees tapped has been
Vermont's average In recent years, and
President II. B, Chaplin OF the YER
mont Maple Sugar Makers Assn, who
inaugurated the season by tapping two
of the trees at his home in Middlesex
Wednesday, says that this record will
probably be exceeded this year
There arep he said, "a great many
farmers who had in late years practi-
cally abandoned sugar-making who
will take it up this year, even though
they must contend with high prices
for spouts and buckets, cans and pals,
and labor.
"Our last census record of sugar pro-
duction was ten or twelve million
pounds of sugar and over half million
gallons of syrup, and | think we will
beat that this year, The value of the
product, in any case, will be greater
than ever known for it is indicated
that the farmers will ask % cents a
pound for their best sugar and 81 a gal.
lon for the best syrup. These prices
are nearly double what obtained a few
years ago..
Even the tobacco factories which
take great quantities of the lower
grades of maple sugar for sweetening
tobacco are offering Is cents for these
low grades. Owing to the scarcity of
sugar. however, it is probable that a
large number of farmers will retain
what they can get from their maple
trees largely for their own use this
year as it has been indicated from
Washington that they will be permit
ted to do so.

To the complete surprise Of students

To the complete surprise OF students
and faculty, President Thomas an
nounced at the College chapel exer'
cises yesterday that a grant OF S75,00t
to the College has just been made by
the General Education Board News
OF the gift had been received by DR.
Thomas only the day before, and nc
announcement could have been more
welcome on College hill as the offer OF
help comes at a most critical time in
the financial relations of the institu-
ton
A condition is attached to the gift
namely, that the College must raise the
sum OF S325,000 additional, and this
must be done before July |, 1918, but
as stupendous as that task seems, DR.
Thomas looks for success, since the
sum of $4,000 has already been raised
and only $4,000 more will be necessary
to complete the 100000 total.
Last June, as is well-known, the an
nouncement was made that an anon.
ymous alumnus Of the college would
give 100000 toward increasing Middle.
bury's endowment il an additional
100000 could be raised by other
means before July l. 1918. This offer
came almost coincident with the entry
OF the United States into the war
and though that fact made the attain.
ment OF the fund seem almost impos.
sible, it made success all the more
necessary as the war has from the
start greatly depleted the student
body and proportionately affected the
college income. Dr. Thomas, according.
ly launched most vigorous campaign
to raise the S2OO,000 as the only way Ia
keep the college and the cause OF educa.
ton from slipping backward.
In order not to compete in any way
with the needs OF war, Dr. Thomas sug.
gestcd that the alumni and friends OF
the college could serve both the nation
and the college by the purchase OF
Liberty Bonds and turn them over ia
the endowment fund. Mddlebury was
the first college to bring forward this
idea OF patriotic service, and it has
since been taken up by the United
States Commissioner of Education. p
7, ClaXton, with recommendation OF
it to all colleges.
Last week Dr., Thomas returned
from a trip West with rather less sue.
cess than he had hoped for, having
