MOMav JOMH JAPPIItG TREES j lls One Way to Obtain P 1 Plenty of Delicious Maple ■ Syrup and Sugar — ■■!■ ... » K IT'S SIMPLE PROCESS I Season is Near When the I Panners will Begin to Tap the Trees Many ilioiisamls of Ameilcnn farm- H <rs throughout a region eoinprisinr ■ I more i han a score of states arc over- H jlcokin:; oppruinhi>. io secure ilelic ■ iota maple : uyar and sirup fcr home B use, as well as for sale, at very lit- H f!o cost. fl This stntehinpt, of peculiar interest, fl lieeause of lhe present snyar shtiri- fl age, and the approach of "sugar fl weather." is based on data compiled fl by expert., of lhe United Stales do- fl pnrt.ment of agriculture who have fl made a special study of lhe maple sug-'fl ar industry. While Americans com-!B mcnly think of this industry as being fl confined largely to cir< umscribed fl areas in New England and New York, I there are, as a matter of fact, many fl potential “sugar bushes” throughout fl eastern and northeastern United Isl States; in other words, throughout a fl region extending south to include fl North Carolina and Tennessee and'fl west to include northern Missouri, fl lowa and Minnesota. There are also fl .i considerable number of maple trees ,fl of a sugar-yielding species in Wash- fl ington and Oregon. Process Not Complicated || While some experience is necessary Isl to boil lhe sap down to sirup and sug-lfl ar properly, the process is not com-Isl plicated and may be learned 'eadily. Isl A United States department of agri Isl eiil’nre bulletin, “Production or Maple|fl Sirup and Sugar,” gives the necessary Isl information, and will be sent free to fl . my person addressing the department fl at Washington. 1 A clump of ten to fifteen trees us- fl nally will yield enough sirup for fam- fl ily use to make tapping worth while, fl and in many eases will afford a snr-lfl plus which can be sold at a remvn- I erat.ive price. The flow of sap de- fl pends upon the age, condition, and fl habit of growth of the tree, also upon II the character of the weather and eon- fl dition of die soil during the •ap flow- fl ing season In a good season a tree Isl fifteen inches in diameter will yield fl sufficient sap to make from one to ( | quarts of sirup, which in turn can be I concentrated into two to ten pounds B of sugar. Larger trees under the jfl mine conditions will produce corre- fl spondingly largo yields of sirup and :fl sugar. All hard maple trees, eigiilifl inches or more in dia/neter, may be.fl afely and profitably tapped for sirup fl and sugar production. fl Cutting Sugar Trees for Lumber a Recently an investigation of the fl United States department of agricul- fl turn in North Carolina discovered fl many groves of sugar maples that wore fl not being utilized for sirup and sugar fl production. One of these groves is fl probably larger than any now to be fl found in New England. The owners, fl not being aware of the value of these fl trees from the maple sugar standpoint, fl had been cutting them down for him- fl her at an average return of less than fl SI.OO a tree. At the suggestion of fl the federal representative the groves fl | were spared further cutting in many fl 1 instances and the owners last year fl began tapping the trees and making fl sirup that sold for $4 a gallon. This I revelation of the potential value of I these groves has induced the owners ■ to plan more extnsive operations for ■ this coming spring, so that instead of ■ destroying the groves they will be- ■ come a source of permanent and hirg- B er income. It is expected that lhe B flow of sap will be even more satis- B factory than last, year, since the warrti B weather of last winter was not favor B able to producing lhe best grade nor B the highest yeild of «iugnr and sirup. B The maple sirup and sugar industry B is distinctively American and offers B good commercial opportunities for B those who engage in if systematically. fl| No countries beside the United Statrs B and Canada produce this much-prized ■ product on a cbmercial scale., which B is at once a delicacy and a highly nu- H trit ions article of diet. The demand jfl for both sirup and sugar is far beyond g the supply. . B Because the sugar content nf the B sap varies from time to lime, uniform- flB ity of quality can not. be secured K throughout a season. Warm days amt J cool nights are essential to a satisfne- Wj tory flow, and the sugar content fhny K vary considerably from day to day. El However, -this is not a feature that flfl materially affects the success of one's K operations. flfl Tapping of sugar trees if done prop- M erly in no way injures the tree Trees H have been tapped for more than 100 yejirs and are still in good condition.
