The absence of frost, however, rendered the time inauspicious, and no results are reported. March 12, 1909 Messrs. Henry and Gideon Propst have made 500 pounds of maple sugar and 35 gallons of molasses. They have an evaporator. February 27, 1931 Mr. Gideon Propst has made quite a lot of maple syrup. Last week he made 50 gallons. Wonder if any one can beat that?
