Central Press Correspondent
 CHARDON, O.-An early spring with warm sun and bright skies are the answer to most farmers prayers.
 However, the warm days and popping apple blossoms are worse than headache to hundreds of su- gar bush farmers in this wooded Geauga county of northeastern Ohio
 The sugar bush farmers are the men who take sap from hundreds of thousands of maple trees here abouts and boil it down into what they boast is the best maple syrup in the world.
 And the warm spring has cut off the flow of early sap from which the high quality maple syrup is made and sent up through the tree trunks what is known as bud" sap.
 Bud" sap, after being boiled down, makes very poor maple syrup and is sold only to the to- bacco producers for curing their products.
 It is not the kind Of syrup which makes your morning pancakes a treat for the gods and it doesn't bring the $3.39 gallon that the buckwheat cakes and maple candy syrup commands in market that annually tops the supply.
 Things in the maple bush coun- try got off to a good start this spring with an early thaw followed by freezing weather.
 Alternating spelln of thawing and freezing keep the maple syrup sap flowing on the bush farms and prevent early budding of the maple trees.
 However, after the cold snap two weeks ago the weather turned pleasant for a week, and while the maple bush farmers fumed and fretted and the spring wheat plant CTS rejoiced--it remained balmy and sunny.
 As a result the annual yield of

SURPLUS 5pUDS AT MATANUSKA MAY BE
 SOLD TO CANADIANS

Disposal in western Canada of 800 tons of surplus potatoes from the Matanuska Valley is being sought through plan devised by the Agriculture Department work ing in cooperation with Delegate Bartlett.
 First reports of the surplus reach ed Delegate Bartlett through tele- grams from Anchorage and Palm CT seeking to dispose of the pota- toes to aid in supplementing food supplies abroad. After consulta- tion with officials of United Ma tions Relief and Rehabilitation Ad- ministration and the Agriculture Department, it was determined sucn disposal would be impractical be- cause of the distance involved, the freight rates and the ability Of UN- BRA to handy only dehydrated potatoes.
 Through telephone conversations with Canadian officials in Toronto and Victoria, a plan eVolVed to supply the market in western Can ada with Alaska potatoes if they were found to meet with Canadian inspection standards. A sample of 25 pounds of the Alaska potatoes was airmailed to Canada for irl- spection, and it is hoped they will be acceptable so that the entire 500 tons may be sold on the Can adian market.

100,0 to 125,00O gallons of sap on Geauga county sugar farms has fallen to take of only 22,000 gal Ions.
 It takes 40 gallons of sap to make a gallon of maple syrup when boiled down in the big evaporators. This spring the quality of the sap has been so low that more sap is required to make gallon of syrup.
 The big sugar bush of Comema Farms in Chardon road, shown in part in the pictures herewith, may be taken as an example of the situ- ation.
 Isaac Evans, owner of Comema Farms, one of them a big sugar bush farm with thousands of trees, found it took 65 gallons of sap this spring to make gallon of syrup.
