MAPLE
S{IGAR
AND
SYRUP
PRO-
DUCTION.
The United States
Department
o7
Agri-
culture,
under
date
of May 10th,
has
is-
sued
a short
bulletin
concerning
the
ma-
ple
sugar
production
of
the
United
States.
which,
while
not
very
large,
forms
an item
worth consideration,
and
the bulletin
is
quite
interesting.
There
have been
nearly 20,000,000
maple
treec
tapped
in
the United States:
during
the
last four years,
and
there
has
been
made
from them
each
year practically
ten
mil-
lions of pounds
of sugar,
or say
one pound
for each
twec trees,
aud in addition
to this
there
has
been
made
an
@ verage
of about
four
million
gallons
of
maple
syru:..
These
figures
thrown
together
and
counting
one
gallcn
of
maple
syrup
as
the
equ valent
of eight
pounds
of
su-
gar,
we have
an
average
yield
equiv-
alent
to
forty-four
million
pounds
of
sugar,
or
22,000
short
tons,
which
would give
an
average
of sugar,
and
sy-
rup
counted
as sugar?at
eight
pounds
L
DEE zallon,
of nearly
two
and
a quarter
pounds
per
tree.
"
The
State
of New
York leads
in
ma-
ple sugar
production
and
is reported
as
producing slightly over
fourteen
million
pounds
last
season,
and but
twelve and
a
quarter
million
pounds
this
season.
Vermont
comes
next
in
magnitude
of
crop
with
nine
millions
of pounds
last
year and
over
eleven
millions
this year.
The average
vield per
tree
in New York
was
2-4
pounds
last
year
and
three
pounds
this season:
Vermont
giving
1-8
pounds
per tree last year and two pounds
this
year.
The
quality
generally
was
- reported
as good.
1t

somewhat
surprising

have
given four pounde
per tree last year
and 8.6/10
this year,
and
evei:
these
fig-
ures
ire surpassed
by Maryland
for
last
year,
with
a
yie!ld
of
five
pounds
per
tree,
and fhis vear
but g;6/10.
Thirteen
of theStates
of
the
Federal
Union
are reported
as
producing
maple
sagar
with
a total
of
24
million
ponnds
this
year,
The
.extreme
of
production
would
seem
to meget in
Connecticut
with
the lowest produetion,
and
in New
York
with the highest,
but New York is a very
iarge State
and the buik
of" it
lies
west
of the
Hudson
river.
We
vresume
that,
as
usual,
this
limit:
ed quantity
cf
rimple
sugar
and
syrup
will be expande('?
many
times
by
adul-
teration
with
glucose
and
cane
syrup.
Years
ago it was
brought
to
our
notice
that
a leading grocery hou e sent
back
to
the New England
town of one
of its part
ners
in
order?
to
get
old
newspa-
pers
that
had
the
New
England
mark
on
them,
which’ papers
were
intended
to line the barrelg
and give
the
general
air
of pure
New! England
maple
sugar
to a decidedly
mixed
production.
Per-
haps these
parties have repented
of their
sins
and perhaps
now
all
the
maple
su-
gar and syrup
offered
has
become
genu-
ine, but
we
doubt
it. —Lowisiana
