H The production of maple sugar 
i] since 1840 has been determined 
a 5 000. 000 references to the United States cen: 
1830 30, 000, sus reports, the reports of various 
1831 | 37, 000, 000 | State and agricultural societies, and 
|| 1882 | 34,500, 000 | other sources ; previous to that date 
|| 1883 | © 36,000, 000 | it has been estimated from Ameri. 
Boa 35, 000, 000 | can and English agricultural and 
| 1835 37, 000, 000 | historical works. It is very evident 
| 1836 37, 500, 000 | the actual crop exceeded the above 
1E37 40, 000, 000 figures, but a greater error would be 
| 1838 | 38, 000,000 | made by omitting such estimates 
1839 37, 000, 000 | than in accepting them. The pro- 
duction of sorghum sugar has been 
found from the State reports. 
@) Beginning with the year 1867 the “ Value,” ‘Paid for Customs,” and “Consumption” of: melado 
are taken from the Annual Reports on Commerce and Navigation.
