The export totals include exports of 
refined sugar from Porto Rico of 75 tons 
in April and 189 tons during the four 
months’ period. Exports from the con- 
tinental United States were thus 14,510 
tons in April and 75,451 tons during the 
four months. 
Maple Sugar Production 1921 
Weather conditions during the past 
winter and spring were unfavorable to 
the making of maple sugar and maple 
syrup throughout the producing regions 
of the United States, reports the Bureau 
of Crop Estimate. There was very little 
of the alternate thawing by day and 
freezing by night which is necessary for 
the best flow of sap. There were fewer 
trees tapped this season than usual, and 
the average yield per tree was generally 
lower than in 1920. 
The thirteen States which furnish 
most of the maple sugar produced in 
the United States made 5,093,100 pounds 
compared to 7,555,040 pounds last year 
and 13,270,865 pounds in the record year 
of 1918. The syrup produced amounted to 
2,583,500 gallons against 3,657,255 gallons 
and the total production in terms of sugar 
was 25,761,100 pounds against 36,813,080 
pounds. Vermont led the States in the 
amount of its production with more 
than 2,800,000 pounds of sugar. New 
York was second with 1,124,000 pounds. 
The average yield per tree was 1.58 
pounds of total sugar against 1.94 pounds 
last year.
