High Syrup Cost
Due to Heavy
Amount of Work
_ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS
PAGE ELEVEI
Maple syrup is expensive be-
cause of the large amount of sap
and the lengthy process required
to convert clear sap to the fin-
ished syrup.
Not every maple tree is suit-
able for tapping. Of the seven
species of maple growing in Ont-
ario, only two are commercially
important - the hard sugar maple
and the black maple, although
red maples and silver maples are
sometimes tapped.
Trees are tapped at the begin-
ning of the sap running season,
when temperatures drop below
freezing at night, but the foll-
owing days are warm and sunny.
It is a short season of three to
six weeks, and is the only time
that sap can be collected.
The sap flows at its own pace,
very slowly, a drop at a time.
It takes 30 to 40 gallons of sap
to make a single gallon of maple
syrup. That is as much sap as a
good maple tree yields for the
entire season.
After the sap has been gathered
it is strained to remove impur-
ities, then condensed into maple
syrup in a covered evaporator.
The sugar content rises from
about 2.40fo in the raw sap to
the required 65% for maple syrup.
The syrup is held at a carefully
controlled temperature for bot-
tling or canning in order to prev-
ent discoloration, loss of flavor,
and mold formation.
Top quality maple syrup is
crystal clear, light amber in
color, and delicate in flavor.
The flavor becomes more pro-
nounced as the color becomes
darker. For pure maple flavor
be sure you buy pure maple
syrup, say food specialists.
Only pure maple syrup may have
the word "Maple" on the label.

Mr. A. F, Hess, the local
Secretary of the Zurich Hydro

Financial Statement for the year

and 63 street lights. The total
revenue for the year was $5, 823.
69, while the operating expenses
amounted to $5, 825, 93, and if
you will add to this the amount
set aside for depreciation in
1930 of $339.00, this will leave
a deficit for the year of $341.24.
