VERMONT SUGAR CROP
Fully Half an Average Crop Has
Been Harvested Up to Present
Time 1t Is Estimated

That fully half of an average
crop of maple sap has been harvest
ed on the west side of Vermont at
present is the opinion of people like
the Vermont Syrup company of Es-
sex junction and others in position
to know. The estimate is placed as
high as two-thirds in some sections,
but on the average over the west
side the crop is better than one-half.
On the east side the season is not
so far advanced and it is usually
from a week to ten days behind. AL
though no one can foretell what a
maple sugar crop will be, as it is
impossible to predict day in adj
vance, lot of sugar should be made
this year with anything like an even
break of luck.
This year is far in advance of last
year, as the first real run of sap then
was on March %. This year there
was run of sap on the second, third
and fourth of the month but only a
few farmers were in a position to
catch it. There was another run the
following week, when more got hold
of it, and last week there was first
rate run. Another good run started
Sunday afternoon and the buckets
were filling in good shape Monday
and Tuesday. The thing which is
needed now is storm so the trees
can start all over again, for this run
is about at an end.
The average crop is placed at bet
ter than two and a quarter pounds
to a tree and less than two and a
half. The number of trees estimated
to be tapped this year in Vermont is
100000, so quite few thousand of
tons of sugar are made annually.
The utensil manufacturers say there |
has been keen demand for equip |
ment this year and fully the average /
number of trees will be tapped, judg- /
ing from that.
In some years the season has stop
ped as early as April 1 and in other |
years it has run along into the early /
part of May. Everything depends on
lust what the weather does. The
work of getting in the harvest TINS
wear has been increased in some OF
the open bushes because of the lack
of snow, but in Lamoille, Gale
donia and in other counties, where
the woods are thick, there is still
plenty of snow to make sleddingd
easy. After careful computation OF
reports, the run on the west side up
to Saturday night had reached three-
quarters of a pound per tree and
the run since then has easily brought
it up to more than half crop.
One good thing for the sugar max
er is that he hasn't the slightest diff
ficulty in disposing of his crop and
he is getting a good price this year,
