Watch Out, Vermont! - Mrs. Donald C. Day of Paxton, Mass., watches as sons Peter, 3, and Geoffrey, 4, collect maple sap in tomato cans from trees near their home. At right Mrs. Day presides over "boiling down" in their kitchen-sap house as the boys sniff the fragrant steam. Since it takes a lot of boiling to reduce 35 quarts of sap to a quart of sweet syrup do-it-yourself operators are warned to make sure they have a good kitchen ventilator or they will steam all the wallpaper off their walls.
