MAPLE SYRUP Crop This Year Will Yield More Than Two Hundred, Thousand Gallons Says STATE ENTOMOLOGIST Largest Sugar Camps in Bartholomew, Lawrence, Brown, Morgan Counties (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Feb. 25.—Two hundred thousand gallons of maple syrup will be harvested in this year, according to present indications, Frank N. Wallace, state entomologist, said here today. The commercial value of this sold at retail will be approximately $600,000. The 1910 harvest was 273,728 gallons and 33,419 pounds of maple sugar. Wai- 1 laie said, and the 1900 crop was 179,576 gallons. Ohio produced twice this amount. The largest sugar camps in the state are located in Brown, Barthlomew, I-awrence, Monroe and Morgan counties, Wallace said. The high cost of buckets and other materials used by the people who make maple syrup and sugar has caused the industry to slump, he added, reviewing the maple syrup history of the state. In the olden days when the people on the farms were more interested in making syrup and sugar than they are at the present time, the spigots were cut from the branch of the elderberry bush and hollowed out around the fireside in the evening. The troughs were made from poplar trees which also had to be holowed. During the war, Richard bieber, director of the department of conservation used this slogan: “Remember that sugar will not only catch flies, but ■ without it we cannot catch the kaiser.” This year Lieber is using this as a slogan to urge people to tap their maple trees: “Gather all the sugar you can as this sugar will holp'to bring down the high cost of maple sugar.” Today maple syrup is selling generally at $3.00 a gallon while in 1910 it sold in many places at $2.00 a gallon. The producer in 1910 usually received $1.25 a gallon for his product and the producer of today is paid from $2.00 to $2.25. Statistics made available to the conservation commission show that fortygallons of sap are required to make one gallon of'syrup. These satisfies also show that about twenty gallons of sap come from one tree each year. HAVE YOU ANY RAGS?

With the College Cagers. Indianapolis, Feb. 25. —lt would seem that most of the important college basketbail games of the week arc scheduh ;l for tonight and Saturday night. To bo sure, several games were played Monday, but it is the week-end games that hold the center of interest for the basketball fans. Three important college games are to be played tonight in Indiana. The University of Indiana meets lowa at Bloom lington. lowa's 22 to 15 victory over (Indiana last Monday causes interest ito center in the game between these two teams at Bloomington Saturday, I but iowa put a big crimp in the hope of the Hoosier team in the Big Ten Conference race. Wabash meets Notre | Dame at South Bend. Some weeks ago jQpach Vaughan’s teams doubled the (Score on Notre Dame, but it is hardily probable that Wabash can do more Than wiin on the Irish floor. Earlham and Hutler play in Indianapolis. Coach Page’s team defeated the Quakers I some weeks ago, but it might be a different story tonight. On Saturday night Earlham plays the Indiana Dental College here. The big conference game will be at Evanston. 111., where Purdue plays Northwestern University. The boilermakers won easily from Northwestern early this season, but a week ago, Northwestern forced Indiana to the limit to win. Therefore, Purdue may find some trouble on its trip. Valparaiso starts on its western trip and meets Creighton at Omaha. It was just a week ago that | Creighton defeated Notre Dame. AlI ready some of the critics are picking I all-state teams. Some of these myth|4ca! teams have appeared in print. !but the time to make such a seleci tion is not yet ripe as many of the (•hampionship games remain to be played. — , , ..
