R.R. 1 Phono Zurich 92r7 In the school year 1947-48 in grade nine science, each pupil had to do a project, We had pur own choice, so I chose “Maple ” as mine, There chose this, thought it to find out Put into it The other reason was because we were malting syrup at the time Mr. Dixon thing away. •My easy the following are my .reports- On the fourteenth day we tapped and from then on I kept records' of the weather .and so on, From day to day I took the temperature, weather and sap flow as best as J could. I cal­ culated how much wood we use^ and also calculated the cost of it. To find the cost of the equip­ ment I took the original cost and took ten Ter cent off for depreciation and thus arrived at the present .day value, I had to do this because the equipment was not new, or at least not all of it. I kept records of the amount of syrup made, but as we only had five (boils* this was easy. I had to spend much of my time helping with the work to get most of my information. What I could not get that way, or if I was .too busy to go back to the bush, I asked my father for the information Our Method of Syrup Making Our method of syrup making is quite modern. We use evaporator, which is a pan with a stove After ered in through pan. When the pan is full it is left to boil. As the sap evapor­ ates, more has to be added un­ til the syrup is almost made. Then it is dipped into the last ■pan, where it is finished off. From there it goes through a tap, a felt, and then into the sealers, or syrup cans. It is then ready for market. All this takes about five hours, if-the pan is not too full. It sometimes .takes longer. This year we tapped 180' trees Syrup Making” are two ‘reasons I One is because I would be interesting if all the work we i was profit pr loss, was because home on Sunday after a pleasant holi­ day in Florida and Boston, Mass.

A film, “The Books Drive On”, is being loaned by the Huron County Library for presentation. Hensail Village The regular Hensall Village last Wednesday p.m. in the council chamber all members present. The utes of the .previous meeting were read and adopted. F. Harburn reported regard­ ing the cleaning up of church shed. J. A. Paterson reported on the convention of the Rural Municipal Association held in Toronto; also the -conversations held with the different officials at the parliament buildings. Considerable discussion took place regarding the false alarms that have been reported; also the parking of cars around the hall. The clerk was instructed to secure the necessary informa­ tion regarding false alarms and prepare a by-law offering a re­ ward for information upon con­ viction df the guilty parties. It was moved and seconded by Parke and Jones that council instruct the clerk to order a hy­ drant pump from the 'Canada Valve & Hydrant Co, Carried. It was moved by Moir and Tudor that council join the Canadian section of the American Waterworks Association. Carried. Bills and accounts read as follows: A. E. Berry, secretary­ treasurer, American Waterworks Assoc., membership, $10.00; J. A. Paterson, expenses (Toronto) $20.00, express .28, $20.28; F. G. Bonthron, fire insurance, rink $25.00; Municipal World sub­ scriptions, .$16.00; National Iron Corp., supplies, w.w., $38.58;, W. ■ E. Pfaff, labour, $2.00; F. Har­ burn, mileage to Crediton, etc., $2.40; total, $114.26. It was moved and seconded by Jones and Park that accounts as read be paid. Carried, The clerk presented the rules and regulations as requested for • the operation of the waterworks and considerable discussion took ' place regarding the same; it was suggested that they be ammend- ed as suggested and presented at the next meeting. Council adjourned at 11:15 p.m. bn the motion of Tudor and . Jones. J. A. Paterson, Clerk A d e t a lied record o f t h e weather, the sap flow and the amount of syr.up produced each day, was recorded, By keeping these records I found some very interesting in­ formation. The type of weather giving .best flow is when it is sunny, warm and usually after an overnight frost, The wind is southerly. The total yield of syrup <per tree .was .96 1/9 gallons. The value of the syrup was $55,00, and the costs were $73,60, so there was a loss of 18,60. As .you probably see from these records, the syrup making this yeai' was more-or-less a waste of time and effort. How­ ever, it was interesting ,to find just how much was profit, or loss, as the case was this year, it will also .show us in the fut­ ure how to improve our methods and time of tapping. There was not too much of a loss in time because at that time of the year there is not much else to do. The fuel also was not really a loss because it was just scraps and poor wood that was picked up .here and there. Therefore, I am glad I kept these records and I think it should be done more often, not only in maple syrup making, but in all farm businesses.
