Syr ;p Season Started 'at 'estl.aaesn
Small Caterpillar a�ke.'rnizes Task
�i�l.ar o
The maple -syrup season is in
full timing, and meny district far-
mers are now en aged in this
spring time occupation. One of
the biggest syrup bushes in this
lakerct is RR 3a v that
field. They have
over 50 acres of young hard map-
les, and 1,500 of these trees are
tapped this year.
In their syrup operation they
use a crawler tractor to pull a
tank on a float through the bush.
As they gather the sap, it is
dumped into this tank, The tractor
will go through mud, or creeks,
and over small bushes. When the
sap is brought dhinodk to a large storage e
it is dump
ht feet off the
:ground, at the rtank about eend oftheir 15X28
boiling shanty. From' 'this tank
the sap is fed by gravity into their
4X16 Grist Evaporator. \Vestiakes
say it takes 40 gallons of sap 10
make a gallon of syrup, and they
produce about 15 gallons of syrup
a day. They usually have four or
five helpers in their bush at all
times during the syrup season.
Heat for boiling the syrup is
mostly supplied by wood, which
they cut from the bush with chain -
saws, but a certain amount of coal
is also used. They have a special
thermometer to tell when the syr-
up has :finished boiling. This th'-
ermometer must be set differently
each day, according to bareinetric
conditions.
Most of their syrup is sold loc-
ally, although they have shipped
some to Toronto and Vancouver.
MAPLE SYJ.WP TIME -- At the farm of
Gordon Westlake, RR 3, Bayfield, everyone helps
in the gathering of sap. This handy little cater-
pillar, driven by Ted Dunn, will go through any
mud or water holes they may come across in.
the 50 -acre bush. Behind is the shanty where
the sap is boiled into maple syrup.
