MAPLE SUGAR CROP
In VERMONT BELOW
NORMAL THIS YEAR

Montpelier, VT. May 21.-A capric-
ious spring and high cost of produc-
tion kept the maple sugar crop in
Vermont below normal this year. This
is the summary Of reports to larger
dealers here from sugar farmers
throughout the state. There will be
no shortage of the tangy sweet, how
ever, they say, as there was a con-
siderable surplus from 1920.
Although the forest census shows
that there are 100000 sugar maple
trees in Vermont, not more than S.
100000 of them have ever been de-
veloped. This year about 4.5o0.0oo
were tapped. The sugar and syrup
yield, it is estimated. will be less than
5000 tons. r.a
Weather conditions were important
factors in the decrease. as the un-
usually warm periods OF early spring
were not tempered by the frosty
nights that are needed to contract
and expand the sap flow so that it will
run freely.
Farmers declare they were obliged
to pay wages equal to the scale of. a
year ago and that other equipment
used in harvesting showed no decrease
in price
