This meeting is planned to discuss modern methods of production packing and mark- eting in an effort to make the maple bushes more profit- able to their owners. All are welcome. Admission is free. Maple Syrup is an important product of Ontario. In 1958, the last year for which the Dom- inion Bureau of Statistics has published figures, Ontario pro- duced 318,000 gallons of syrup worth $1,529,000 as well as 32,- 000 lbs. of maple sugar valued at $18,000. In the same year, the Ontario production of honey, a competitor, was 5,316,- 000 lbs., valued at about 17 cents per Lb. to the producer, or about $900,000 — consider- ably less than maple syrup. The maple syrup producers in general have not been kept informed of new developments, and the meeting is intended to bring out some helpful hints. Few producers know that bacteria are the main; factor in lowering both the yield and the grade of maple syrup. Experi- ments in the USA and else- where have shown that by the use of antibiotics they can get far better yields. Sap is being carried in tubes now, rather than in heavy pails, to eliminate much of the back breaking work; and mod- ern methods of peeking syrup In small cans accords better with the housewife's weekly Purchasing methods than the one gallon cans. More eareful handling results in syrup re- taining its fresh flavour, too. Grading of syrup is a. most important matter which is re- quired if the customers are to be willing to pay good prices. Matters such as these will be discussed by people who are expeete in their fields, The Departnient of Lands and For- ests has an interest in prone oting more profitable wood- lands to thee they may be re- tailed for the good of Ontario, Reports Drop in Insurance Losses John L.
