It's Maple Syrup Time in Wisconsin.

Madison =. Badger farmers, par
ticulary in the northern part otthe
state, are overlooking opportunities
at this very season of obtaining
delicious maple syrup and sugar
for home use and for sale.
Thousands of excellent maple
groves and trees exist in upper
Wisconsin, according TO K A.
Moore, old sugar man, we'll known
plant breeder and agronomist at
the College of Agriculture.
This question is of considerable
interest just now on account OF
the sugar shortage, said Mr..
Moore, but it should be interest
ing anyway because maple syrup
is such a peculiarly fine product,
different and far superior to any
products like it, as thousands of
people will testify. The process of
making the syrup is not complicat-
ed and tapping does not injure the
trees in the least. We used to cut
cash into the tree to secure a run,
but now a small hit is used to bore
hole into the trunk at a slight
upward slant, and about = to 2
inches in depth, 1t does not re-
quire a great deal of experience to
boil the sap down to sugar and
syrup properly.
The season of warm days and
cool nights, just preceding the time
when the first buds appear on the
trees, is the best time TO begin
operations. The earlier runs are
sweetest and WELD the best product
After the trees have begun to bud
the quality of the sap becomes in
feriOr since the sugar contents are
used for tree growth and leaf pro-
duction. Our country is one of
the few which produces maple
syrup and sugar on a commercial
scale, many of our fine sugar naples
are being cut down for lumber
Either their owners do not realize
the possibilities of using the trees
for syrup and sugar production,
or they believe that the short sea
son in Spring intrudes upon their
other work. The labor factor is
also a check in some localities.
Personally / wish that people
in northern Wisconsin would see
the opportunities for not only pro-
ducing the sugar and syrup for
market, but for securing a delicious
product for home use. / would
like to see this done more gener-

sion Characterized as the Best in

Thursday evening The council
rooms in the city hall were taxed
to capacity to accomodatethe crowd
in attendance.

of the things to come before the

And this matter was easily dis
posed of. for all the present officers
were reelected, with the exception
that Domenic Rubatt was chosen

welfare of the community were
taken MP and discussed and unusu-
al interest was evident among the
members of the club, with The re-
suit that the session has been
characterized as the best yet. A
number OF important matters which
have been pending for some time
and which are nearing solution
were among the things considered,
with reports on the progress be-
ing made. The housing problem
in Hurley was given consideration
and furnished a good subject for
discussion. There was a strong
sentiment that something should
be done to relieve the housing pro-
blem i'll Hurley and with this end
IN view the president was instruct
ed to appoint committee of FIVE
to look into the matter and to en-
deavor to interest local capital in
building and loan association.

Spring Jury Term Of Court
In Session.

Quite a contrast to the old
time full docket and crowded
town at the criminal court ses.
sions, is the quiet and almost
unnoticeable proceedings of this
week, the first jury term of
court in four months. The least
observant cannot help noticing
the difference, and the reason is
painly to be placed to the credit
of prohibition. Rational men
and women rarely ever violate
the criminal statutes; it is only
when intoxicated beyond the
point of reason that crime as
general thing is committed. How
thankful the country at large
mnst be to save the heavy court
cost formerly paid out and be
able to apply the parish funds on
the building of good roads and
fostering other public benefits.
Following are court proceed.
