the growing of maple for sugar production is given in Bulletin No. 

 59 of the Bureau of Forestry. 



The sugar maple grows equally well in pure stands and in mixture 

 with any of its natural associates. Species with which it may be 

 planted to advantage are white pine, red pine, white oak, red oak, 

 shagbark hickory, white elm, chestnut, basswood, and yellow poplar. 

 The maple should be planted pure only when it is desired to establish 

 a sugar orchard. 



CULTIVATION AND CARE. 



Throughout most of its range the sugar maple will require no care 

 after planting other than protection from fire and stock. 



Whenever insects injure a plantation, specimens should be sent to 

 the Bureau of Entomology of the Department of Agriculture for 

 identification and advice as to remedial measures. Information con- 

 cerning fungi and methods of combating them can be obtained by 

 application to the Bureau of Plant Industry of the Department of 

 Agriculture. Letters of inquiry should always be accompanied by 

 specimens.
