Maple Syrup
Growers Are
Meeting Monday
The Lake Huron District of
the Department of Lands end
Forests is' sponsoring a Maple
Syrup meeting to• be held 'at
the Elmita Comunity Memor-
ial Arena, Elmira, on Monday,
February 27 from 1,30 to 4
pm. 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,
