a a 001 BURLINGTON DAILY NEWS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 10, 1918. Butter Scoring At The University Big Success State News Gathered Daily By Live Correspondents for The News JOHNSON M. P. Maurice of Morrisville was here with the Canadian Explosive PROSPECT FOR BIG MAPLE SUGAR CROP EXCELLENT At Least One-Third of Crop Already Produced and the Flow of Sap Still Continues Good. ST.

JOHNSBURY, April is evident from all the reports from the best informed maple sugar men in this section says the St. Johnsbury Caledonian that the labor scare, so far as harvesting sugar goes, is over, and the prospects for a crop beyond the average are good. In the opinion of the big dealers who are in touch with the bush owners, at least -third of an average crop has been produced thus far. The best of it is that while earlier in the year some of the largest bush owners in the State were afraid to tackle their propositions because they did not they could get help, there is hardly bush in the state, large or small, that is not being worked for all there is in it. A strange thing is that the center of the state seemed to be on the lookout for closer than anywhere early as March 20, sugar, weather, shipments of sugar were made from Rochester and other towns in that vicinity.

Since then from every maple sugar section on the western side of the state have come shipments of sugar until the buyers say that if things stopped today a third of a crop would have been put away. Both the amount made and the quality depend on the weather. When there is fast run of sap, it is collected often and boiled. That makes a fine grade of sugar. When it just dribbles along and is not collected often the sugar is poorer.

The price paid, the farmer, is good. The tub grade being wholesale by some manufacturers for 18 cents per pound. The price of labor and other expenses are above the ordinary, but the price more than makes up for the difference and there is little doubt that this department of the agricultural interests of the state will have a prosperous year and also do its part in helping out the food supply.
