MARKET BASKET SPECIALS

Of scorching in boiling up, the cleaning
run" and the collecting and putting
away OF the equipment for the next
season. The run may be good or poor,
but the work is the same. The cost
of pure maple syrup and maple sugar
has gone up, ms the cost of lnbor and
utensils, cans and containers for ship
ping has gone up.
The farmer who sells maple sugar can
gather it with his regular farm orgnn-
zation, making H. n sort Of side line Of
his business of farming, or he can make
il a more up-to-date affair and build
factory on his place to supply his orders.
Dealers in maple sugar products say
TINT the syrup keeps best in small con-
tainers, and in order 20 maintain the
full original flavor of the new syrup, If
il is. bought in gallon can, the can
should be emptied as soon M received.
The contents should be put on>the fire
and brought to sharp boil and then
bottles, and these small containers
should never be opened until one is
about to use the syrup. The result will
he surprise in the way of delicious
flavor to those who have been in the
habit of using the syrup from the orig
insl gallon container bit by bit until It
was all consumed.
Early run syrup is the syrup with the
moro delicate flavor, the later run OF
the sap resulting in a stronger favored
syrup, darker in color and best used for
havoring. The slgar of the early run
is also the finer of the two and cells
for somewhat higher figure than the
later run product.

FOR CITY PRIZE SONG
Musicians Given Until May ~
to Submit Composition

test has been extended to May 70, is ex-
pected TO result in the receipt of num-
Ter more compositions The prize Of

II WINS planned TO end the contest be-
fore Muse Week so that the winning
composition could be used at the COM
munity sing held last Thursday night.
So few compositions were received,
however, that II was decided TO extend
the time limit. Under the terms OF the
contest the words and music may be
both original, or the words alone may be
original and the music adapted from
the works Of another composer. Com
petitors may submit as many songs as
they please. All names will be erased
from the scores SO that the judges in the
contest will have no knowledge of the
identity of the composer, thus insuring
absolute fairness. The compositions
should be sent TO Mrs Marie II. Haughey
poetoftce box Ia, Wilmington. Mrs.
Haughey was chairman of the commit
tee OF the Municipal Music Commission
in charge Of Music Week.
In connection with the Wilmington
song contest, attention has been directed
20 the fact that the contest for State
song for Pennsylvania has been extended

The good that is accomplished cannot

IT'S MAPLE SUGAR Time
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
Producer Tells Why Cost Of
First-CIass Product
is High.

This Springs maple sugar is now in
the market and can he bought direct
from the farmer as syrup, sugar and
sugar candy. While the prices charged
for the real thing seem high TO the con-
sumner, New Hampshire maple sugar
man explained recently that simple and
primitive A. maple sugar gathering APP
pears to the outside, "thc overhead
is high" II costs money, he says, to
produce absolutely pure maple sugar.
The sweetness in maple sap varies
considerably, but, taking it season in
and season out, according TO the New
Hampshire man, a whole barrel Of sap
goes into the making Of one single gal
Ion Of real maple syrup.
II takes n cord of wood 10 boil down
enough of the sap to make n hundred
pounds of the soft maple sugar. Ac-
cording TO the usual method Of doing
the work, using the old-style evapore-
tors, boiling is started one morning and
the first thick syrup comes of by the
next afternoon. Seven hours is the time
il takes with one of the new style evap-
orators. Four and half gallons of
the sap are boiled away in steam TO
make pint of the syrup.
To make the very best quality syrup,
first quality" as it is called, the
gathering of the sap has TO be care
fully done. Covered buckets must be
used, so that no rain water, leaves, dust
or impurities Of any kind can get into
the sap, which must not remain over
night in the bucket, but must he col
lected once a day from every bucket in
order TO prevent it fermenting. This
gathering is often done on steep hill
sides, over combination Of ice, snow,
slueh and deep mud. The sugar house
may be a mile away and the buckets
are drawn to il on sleds. The sep i.
strained four times before boiling, and
once afterward.
Among the items necessary 20 count in
figuring up the overhead" in maple
sugar making, are insurance, tapping,
washing buckets, daily inspections, risk
