THE MAPLE SUGAR CROP
High Prices VIII Result I'm Increased
Number OF Trees Rcing Tapped

While there Is not tnu normal increase
In the number of sugar makers who are
buying complete new equipment this
year, those sugar makers who have been
operating their bushes show a dsposl
ton to work them to capacity this year.
Attracted by the high prices of last year,
they are buying buckets with which to
tap every available trec. The Leader
F,vaporator company Is now working to
capacity. but started later this year than
in ordinary years, so their output will
not be up TO normal.
One reason why farmers are not buy
ing the complete equipment Is because
of the high prices which exist in most
lines For time the government put an
embargo on the materials whisA- enter
into the manufacture of sugar making
utensils, and that Is the reason the local
company did not start business until
three months ago. considerably later than
usual.
In spite Of the fact that maple sugar
makers in Vermont can sell every ounce
of sugar they can make at a price sew
eral times that of few years ago, and
that the Vermont output is more eagerly
sought than that of any other State In
the Union, the Green Mountain State
is not turning out anywhere near the
amount Of maple sugar of which 1t is
capable. 1t is estimated that at the
present time there are 100000 maple
sugar trees i'm Vermont which are not
tapped. This means that less than As per
cent. of the possible output is being
produced. The amount of sugar which
can be obtained from a tree depends en-
tirely on the weather, but pound to a
