r hits us late Ma le s
by Susan White

The beautiful early spring days
of the past couple of weeks have
gotten the sap running in all of
us. It's hard to be grouchy or
depressed or to keep your mind
on weighty matters of business
when a fine sunny day banishes
the gloom of a long gritty winter.
It's the time of year when, we
should get involved with the
really important things in life...
looking at the trees to see which
Seaforth
FR E
Doug Vanderhaer about how
many taps you can make per tree
and how much it cost to get set up
with plastic h ose and pumping
and evaporating equipment. The
big problem with this sudden
interest in maple syrup making is
that our acre is loaded with the
wrong kind of maples. We could,
writer the market in Manitoba
maple syrup though with a few
shots of silver maple,to give it a
distinctive colour.
All the way home we looked
longingly at hundreds of large
sugar maples along the side of the
road...big huge trees with room
for four tape, Four taps should in
a good year produce 40 gallons of
sap, or one gallon of syrup. "It's
unbelievable, all that syrup going

to waste," the better half said.
Not exactly going to waste, just
untapped.
We had to drop brother Joe off
when we got back to Seaforth and
at his place we discoYered three,
great big, four tap sized sugar"
maples. It was teoggod to pass up
and three very amateur tappers
had home made spiggots and
large glass jars hanging from all
three trees in about half an hour.
And when we got home we
decided that the broadest maple
in our yard looked a bit like a
sugar, even if it had always been
considered a silver. "Maybe its' -a
cross,". I said as we hammered
two spiggots into her.
How the sap is dripping has
become the' biggest topic of
conversation between Joe's place
and ours. "Fve got 12 gallons"
he called Sunday night to say.
Wait till mother gets home. from
Florida and finds every bowl in
the house full of sap,' we say.
So far in MeKillop we've got
about fourgailons of silver/sugar
maple sap which should give us-
about a tenth of a gallon of syrup
if we can rig up a way to boil it ,
down. hi the fire place maybe?
Meanwhile we're praying for
more sunny, days and cool nights.
The experts tell us that' the sap
running days for this year are just
about over. We don't believe it
though.
The sap from our trees just has
to keep on running to make up for
the fact that we were so late in
discovering the joys of making
maple syrup.
Does anyone have any sugar
maple trees they'd be willing to
rent so that we can get an early
start for next ear?

We've got maple tapping fever.
We're like the child who told his
mother one noon hour that he was
going to' make, maple syrup and
then showed her how he'd
carefully tapped two evergreens
in the front yard.
It all started Sunday when we
went to Schilbe's near Bayfield to
buy our annual gallon of maple
syrup. Schilbe's were sold out of
syrup and sent us to a young
neighbour of theirs who was
tapping his maple bush for the
first time this year.
