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
one of your own home to .see you,”
said the older woman as she watch-
ed him go.
HARVARD SEEKS
_ QUAKE SECRETS
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.
Marie: “Did you give Bob any
opportunity ‘to propose?"
Mabel: "Yes, but goodness I

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-

lying fn the cupboard. 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

macaroni and cheese and advised
them to make use of all their sup-
plies."

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.
