13 VERMONT LOSING OUT? Why is Vermont maple syrup being crowded out by that of New York itato and the Province of Quebec? A month ago over television, I saw a sugaring program, stressing ver- strongly that Quebec was the maple sugar land. Why? Take, for oxanplc, the number of sugar places in Franklin that arc being evacuated or cut down. This year in Vormont, 3cnnington County is leading in maplo syrup production. Every year more and more farmers Oithor aro not taking the time to sugar or arc selling the sugar maples for lumber. Northern Now York State also has been crowding us out in the last few years, «ron't the Vermonters proud of their fine maple products? It takes more than a few'hard working farmers to keep Vormont th- leading state in maple products. If wo cut down sugar bushes wo aro destroying more than maple syrup. After a forest has been cut down the wild life is homeless and th re remains no more beautiful scenery. Bare woodlots also mean erosion and loss of soil, alternat- ing with drought. Tho Vormont maple sugar makers could very easily got to- gothcr and receive state aid on the setting out of new maple trocs. The reason most su ar bushes are evacuated is because tho trees are old and run down. Let's keep Vermont ahead. Let's plant more sugar maples and care for thosvj we have. Why give someone else the credit for what should bo ours?
