ROMANCE AND WORK
G0 HAND IN HAND ‘ IN MAPLE INDUSTRY
FREDERICTON, N., B., April 'I-
With warm. sunny days and cold, clear nights just ahead, New Br\mswick's tiniest agricultural in- dustry will be soon in tha midst of its yearly four weeks of activity.
Shopkeepers will display for sale
maple syrup, maple sugar, maple cream-all products of the sugar maple, Cana.da'¢ national tree.
With the first stir of sap into the
~ilvl_ng tree from underground roots. wnere it has lain dormant dui-ing
winter, a feverish activity pre- ' Vils in‘the sugar orchards. Men are employed, camps are utabiish- ed, equipment is set up-the sap is running.x --
There is something intangibly ro-
mantic in the maple sugar indus-
try, something not linked with the more common everyday cocupation of rurallife. Hard work-yes; but a certain amount of jollity, a sort of holiday spirit, is present always when the sap is gathered.
It is a picturesque scene. Usually
the ground beneath the tall, bare, stalwart trees is coated with snow. Every sound echoes through the forest pillars. Each tree, like an ancient water carrier, "shoulders" two pails, one on the east and one on the west. Sap trlckles through a spout into one pail in the rnorn- ing, when the sun is on that side, and into the other in the afternoon.
At regular intervals, a sled with
huge casks, drawn by horses, pass- es by and the pails are emptied. In turn, the oasks are emptied at the camp into evaporators, where the precious liquid passes through sev- eral processes to emerge as maple syrup.
The syrup is bottled, or, if sugar
is desired, is poured into steaming cauldrons and boiled down to a certain density. On cooling, it hard- ens into the tasty well known sweet.
Often a party is held at the
camp, when boiled syrup at the proper time is thrown into clean snow where it oongeals quickly, forming into appealing, foamy masses of maple “ca.ndy."
Maple cream is produced by beat-
ing the thickened syrup to give it it "grain," '
March 15 or 20 is the normal
time for sap to commence running although weather and location of the sugar orchard, or sugary, have a great deal to do with it. If cold weather prevails late in the season, the sap run naturally will be de- layed. A sugary on the sunny side of n hill will operate much earlier than one on the level or on the
northem side. » Trees in the same grove may be tapped at different times. "Early" trees are tapped at first and later ones afterward, although some of both hardly definable. groups are
operating at the same time.
Firewood is a big item of the in-
dustry, as fires must be kept buria- ing constantly. This year huge quantities of woodwill be out and
dried, ready for next season.
The maple sugar industry in New
Brunswick is estimated to yield to producers about 030,000 a ,year-. some orchards in the province con-
tain as many ll 3,000 trees.

Canadais guest. a telegram came
the agent to be ready to receive
the Prince in an hour. Fbr the
ce had asked the oonductoir if
he knew of "some pretty spot where e could halt the train and let them go for an hour's walk?"
In an hour the young farmer and
his women-folk in their silks head- ed the tiny receiving line. It was no ordeal at all. Courteslea and veils and backing away were un- thought of. They all gave him a hearty handshake. "Don’t hurry,” said the Prince to the young s'ster who was tlmidly preparing for a snap. "I’ll pose for you in a. min- ute." The minute was occupied in presenting a. bouquet of noses to her mother. "Now" he smiled, and stood out in the open for the shot. Then away the party went for a ‘constitutional in the woods and ‘rocks and bracing air of the valley, after which the train sped on again.
"My, my, it was just like having

BOSTON, Mass., April '1-Har-
vard has launched a. unique pro- ject to reproduce artificially the heat and immense pressures com- parable to those in the depths of the earth. More of the secrets of earthquakes is the first objective. The study will last five years, ul- timately including the major puz- zles of geology, how the earth is built, how its rich minerals were created and how mining engineers may locate them.
The Rockefeller Foundation is
giving $50,000 and Harvard is to raise another $50,000. Funds for the first year'l work are already in hand. The committee administerills the work .comprises Professor R. A. Daly, geologist; Professor P. W. Bridgman, physicist; Professor L. C. Graton, engineer; Professor Hur- low Bhcpley, astronomer and Pro- fessor D. H. McLaughlin, geologist.

price, but those made with the latest standard equipment have re- ceived the same price during the last ten years, with syrup selling at not under 50 cents a reputed quart wholesale, and sugar and cream at 35 and 40 cents a pound whole- sale.
Full equipment for an orchard of
2,000 trees, costs about $1,000, the evaporator alone being worth $350 or $400. Two men, one to do the gathering and the other to tend the fires and production, are usually employed in each grove.
Equipment consists of A camp,
evaporator, tin bucket, barrels, cans and bottles, sleds and sap casks and firewood. Counties in New Brunswick iu which the maple su- gar industry is carried on to the greatest extent are Westmorland, Albert, York and Victoria. '
The Maple Sugar Industry Act of
1931 was brought into force on Feb. I, 1931. Being a federal act, the same regulations apply throughout the Dominion, and are administer- ed by the Fruit Branch of the De- partment of Agriculture.
Last year, according to the Do-
minion Fruit Branch, there were in New Brunswick, 12 registered sugar bushes or orchards. This number, however, is believed to be notin- dicative, as many sugar orchards are not registered.
Lui; year then were 23 licensed
sugar bullies, or orchards, in the province, with I total of 31,450 trees, 20,680 of which were topped. This.
however, does not indicate the number of operators in New Bruns- .Ui°_¥- - -. .. _» _

Boxes of' vegetables were also being frown and thrown out. Upon my odvicei these vegetables were kept in thci kitchen until readyfor use. An- other famlly visited were in the halbit of using all the meat pm- vided at the beginning of the week and having none for the remaind- er of the week. To these people I suggested having meat only once a day. "One family complained of the
scant supply of food. Upon investi- gation I found they eat so much daily, they were having about four meals. The simply of potatoes they were getting only lasted them a few days. They also use a large: amount of bread. Saturday moming when I left this home there were six loaves of bread left. When I returned on Monday there was no, bread at all. I advised this family to do on three meals a day and to `stop using so muon sugar in their tea. I showed them how to prepare macaroni and cheese and advised them to make use of all their sup- plies."
WILL TAKE I-'IVE YEARS
T0 CONSTRUCT NEW _BRIDGE
LONDON, April 7.-It will take
terloo bridge, and to build its suc- cessor will probably occupy about five years. The present bridge, which became unsafe nina years ago, was recently sentenced to de- molition by the London County Council. For nine years, too, the fate of the bridge has involved a prolonged wrangle amongst every authority directly or indirectly con- cerned with it. Those interested in the preservationof I.ondon's historic featurm have argued that Waterloo bridge could be saved. Others have asserted that the bridge has no particular merits from the aesthetic ' viewpoint, and that its historic as- sociations are negligible. The bridge has no direct association with the victory of Waterloo. It appears to have derived its name merely from the fact the first Duke of Welling- ton attended the opening cere- inony.
Another body of opinion hold very
strongly that the site of Waterloo bridge is not the proper one in which to place a new and ambitious avenue for traffic across the Thames. The real position for such, they say. is at Charing frross. Ela- borate plans for a bridge at this point were actually produced. but the late Labor Government refused
to subsidize the scheme.
The plan which has now been
adopted for a new and wider bridge at Waterloo is the revival of an earlier scheme. Bir Gilbert Scott, architect of Liverpool CuthedraI_ is to design a new Waterloo bridge capable to carrying six lines of road traffic. What is the use, though, declare the critics, of providing a ‘ bridge for six traffic lines when it is certain the bottle-neck at the other and will prevent such traffic ‘

to satisfy the present home markets he declared. In addition the ores of certain metals not found in Cari- ada such as aluminum were now im ported for manufacture and export due to the alvundarice of chesp hy- dro-electric power, he stated.
Mr. Brigstocke gave not only com- prehensive data as to the metal refineries in Canada but also in- formation about the marketing of the metals and the relative position of the Canadian ouiiput to that of the Empire and the world at large. In regard to most of the import- ant metals, with the exception of iron, canadab position was highly satisfactory as there was a very large amount of each to sell in the world‘s markets and thereby help keep the balance of trade on the right side, he declared. If the vari- ous metais were not refined before export their value would obviously be much less.
A more recital of the number of
metal refining plants in Canada to- day was impressive, lie said. There were seven copper smeiters which fed three refineries. Their capacity was ten times the annual consump- tion of copper in Canada and was equal to the demand from the whole Empire, Mr. Brigstocke stated. Load and zinc were treated at Trail, B. U., in one of the largest refineries in the world and a large amount of zinc was also made at Flin Flon, Manitoba. Nickel was supplied to :practically the whole world from the mines and refineries in Ontario Cobalt metal, once virtually a Can- adian monopoly, was still furnished to the extent of about half the world’s supply from the refinery at Deioro, Ontario. Refined silver came in large arnoiints from Delom and Trail. Everygold mine had its own refinery to make bullion but this was further refined at the mint, he said. Finally there were the two aluminum works in Quebec which produced a large fraction of the wor1d’s output, the ore coming from British Guiana.
Thus Canada's fortunate posses-
sion of an abundance both of min- erals and cheap hydro-electric pow- er had already put her in the posit- ion of one of the world’s chief pro- ducers of refined metals and the output was certain to be increased greatly in the years to come, Mr. Brigstocke stated in conclusion.
NEW FEEDING BOTTLE INVENTED
PARIS, Arpril 'I-(By The Cana.-
dian Press)--French mothers us- ually scorn to feed their babies with bottles. But a freshman, M. Chave- payre, has invented a feeding bot- tle which will keep the milk at ex- actly the right temperature-even- lf the mother falls asleep after switching on the current. The bot- tle consists of a tube of pu're flint which is introduced into the bottle. The electrical current wh’ch heats the milk may be left on for any length of time, but the temperature of the milk will never rise above 100 degrees Fahrenheit-or slightly above blood-heat.

'Ii0RJON'I‘O. Ont., April 7 - (By
The Canadian Press)-Publicity i< given to statements concerning en- tertainments by wives of the On- tario Cabinet Ministers. Mrs. Henry wife of Premier George Henry, referred to some anonymous letters received and said: “Anonymity is admitted to be the cloak of thr- coward merlting its inevitable des- tination-the waste-paper brisket. ibut thus malicious attacks have been fri circulation for some tm:-. and they seem to be mislcnciiiiz casual newspaper readers, and par- ticularly the folk far from the scene of social activities, to whom the contents of a newspaper are ‘the truth, the wholc tnith, and nothing but the ti'uth`. I regret this and would be glad to have the rpiublic reassured that these enter- tainments are paid for in entirety by the wives of the cabinet minist- ers. This I know is common know- ledge, but since the letters 1-..i'."‘ been in circulation it has been again confirmed by the hostessca themselves."
