misunderstanding plaid or stripe.
You will take along a nicely
tailored pair Of Stacks (if you're
the type), several pairs of shorts,
and T-shirts or blouses. We sug-
gest a pair of blue denim shorts
teamed with a bold plaid cotton
shirt and a pair in white pleated
all round with a cool blue T-shirt.
Your bathing suit will be the
most fattering you can fnd-two
if you plan to do a lot of swim
ming. A pair of beach shoes would
be nice and a carry-all-all for
your various sun bathing prepara-
tons.
In the shoe department you will
need at least one low heeled pair
for hiking or sightseeing and a
dressy pair in addition to the spec
tator pumps already mentioned.
For cool evenings you will need
a short jacket which you will carry
over your arm instead of trying to
crowd into your suitcase.
If you think there is a chance
you may need it and have room
in your case, carry a soft, summary
evening gown. White pique or eye
let would be very dreamy.

the chassis of farm wagon. It is run into
storage tanks, usually located on the north
Tor cold) side of the camp, and from there
is gradually let into the boiling vats
Mr.. Stanton boils his sap in an iron tank
that is divided into three sections, each con-
nected to the other by valve that can be
closed. The flow Of the sap from the storage
tank into the first section of the boiling tank
is regulated by float, so that the sap level
in the boiling vat can be kept constant.
"The secret of making good sirup is in fast
boiling" Mr.. Stanton explained. you've got
to fire heavy. and keep her boiling. It'll
take about 10 hours to boil down the first
batch of Sirup, and from then on you ought
to take off a batch about every three or four
hours"
The Sirup is drawn off the third section of
the tank-the one farthest from where the
sap enters. AS the sirup boils down and be-
comes thicker, the thinner sap flows in from
the other sections. When the sirup is ready
to be finished off, the valve is closed to keep
the thin sap out of the sirup section. When
sugar is made. the sirup is boiled down in
small iron kettle and the sugar is either
crumbed by stirring or poured into bar molds.
After the sirup is poured off. it is strained
through felt to remove the inter, and is then
graded according to color The lighter sirupS
demand the best prices on the market but
most of the sugar makers will argue that the
deeper brown SirupS are richer and better
f1avored. The finished srup is sealed in
gallon cans for marketing. or in 50-gallon
steel drums to be shipped to dealers
The Garrett County sugar makers have
formed cooperative and hope soon to es-
taollSh uniform grading system so their
maple products can compete more equally
with those from other sections of the country.
But whatever happens" they say, We'll
keep sugaring. It's in our blood"

OAKLAND, ND.

OAKLAND, MD,
sc UGARING" rs A FAMILY tradition in
~ Western Maryland. Generation after
generation of Garrett County farmers year
after year have watched eagerly during the
deep winter storm time" for the first signs
of the start of the sugar water" run. And
when the sun finally sends it's warmth down
over the maple sugar groves after a hard
nights freeze, there is feverish activity
around the sugar camps.
Boiling vatS are cleaned. and the keelers-
the buckets used to catch the dripping sap
are scrubbed. Bits are sharpened and the
spiles, or spouts, are made ready for the
tapping.
Guy Stanton, 47-year- farmer of the
Grantsville area, has been making maple
sirup since he was boy. He learned how
to boil the sap down to the golden brown
nectar from his father. who. in turn, learned
from his own father. Mr. Stanton taps
about 900 trees and produces about $50
gallons of sirup and about 1000 pounds of
sugar each year. 1t takes about 40 gallons
of sap to make gallon of sirup. and gallon
of sirup. if boiled on down. will yield from
6 to pounds of maple sugar.
Mr. Stanton's sugaring operations are
typical of those of most Garrett County
farmers When the sap begins to stir, he
begins tapping his trees, hanging from one
to three buckets to a maple, depending on
it's size.
In tapping, Mr. Stanton bores small hole
about one and one-half inches deep in a
place where the bark is smooth A tree is
never tapped near last years hole. After the
hole is bored, the metal Spile is driven in and
the covered bucket is hung from a hook on
the bottom of the Spile
Each morning the sap is collected and
brought to the sugar camp at the edge of
the grove in wooden tank that is fitted to
