Show Producers of Maple Syrup, Sugar Only in the United States and Canada Can-ada are maple syrup and maple sugar sug-ar produced. Not only is it purely an American industry, but it is a very old one, and like the cultivation cultiva-tion of tobacco and the tomato, one that we took over from the aboriginal aborigi-nal inhabitants. The earliest explorers ex-plorers found the Indians making sugar from the sap of maple trees in the St. Lawrence valley and elsewhere else-where in the Northeast; and when the Indians found that the white newcomers liked the maple products, prod-ucts, they were the first to produce them in quantities for trade. |
