'Sugar Bush Farmers Suffer Headadliee As Balmy Days Cut Flow of Maple Sap [ By CLARK LAMB i Central Press Correspondent i CHARDON, O.—An early spring i with warm sun and bright skies are the answer to most farmers’ prayers. | However, the warm” days and | popping apple blossoms are worse than a headache to hundreds of su- gar bush farmers in this wooded Geauga county of northeastern Ohio. The sugar bush farmers are the men who take sap from hundreds of thousands of maple trees here- abouts and beil it down irito what they boast is the best maple syrup in the world. "And the warm spring has cut off the flow of early sap from which the high quality maple syrup is | made and sent up through the tree trunks what is kpown as “bud” sap. “Bud” sap, after being boiled down, makes a very poor maple syrup and is sold only to the to- bacco producers for curing their products. 1t is not the kind of syrup which makes your morning pancakes a treat for the gods and it doesn't bring the $3.39 a gallon that the buckwheat cakes and maple candy syrup commands in a market that annually tops the supply. Things in the maple bush coun- try got off to a good start this spring with an early thaw followed by freezing weather. Alternating spells of thawing and freezing keep the maple syrup sap flowing on the bush farms and prevent early budding of the maple trees. i However, after the cold snap two weeks ago the weather turned pleasant for a week, and while the maple bush farmers fumed and fretted and the spring wheat plant- ers rejoiced—it remained balmy and sunny. As a result the annual yield of SAP INTO SYRUP—An Ohio Amish farmer operates an evaporator. 100,000 to 125,000 gallons 'of ‘sap on Geauga county sugar farms has fallen to a take of only 22,000 gal- lons. It takes 40 gallons of sap to make a gallon of maple syrup when boiled down in the big evaporators. This spring the quality of the has been so low that more sap is required to make a gallon of syrup. The big sugar bush of Comema Farms in Chardon road, shown in part in the pictures herewith, may be taken as an example of the situ- ation. Isaac Evans, owner of Comema Farms, one of them a big sugar bush farm with thousdnds of trees, found it took 65 gallons of sap this spring to mahe a gallon Of syrup. Yes, it's quite a financial beat- ing that blue skies are giving Geaugs sugar farmers this spring. And the crowning blow came to- day when the Maple Sugar festi- val, schaduled for this county seat next moath, was called off. The annual Maple Sugar festival, more colorful than any county fair, and attracting visitors and tourists for hundreds of miles around, was not held during the war, This syring it was to br resumed with all its old color and pagentry. However, there isn't enough ma- ple syrup to put it over. And a Ma- ple Sugar festival that did not last for a week with plenty of the deli- cious brown syrup for all comers would be no festival at all. city truck will haul it away. ¢ The City can stand a good scrub- | bing of yards and buildings and it |is hoped all will take advantage of | ithe City's free rubbish disposal ! system during the clean-up week to make the community cleaner, safer and healthier. | JOHK JENSEN CELEBRATES | Johnnie Jensen, son of Mayor and Mrs. Marcus Jensen, became 11 years of age yesterday, and in- vited his fellow Boy Scouts to his home after their regular meeting last evening for birthday cake and ice cream and an evening of games.
