Walter M. Gaylord syruping off the maple sap has finally boiled down in the King evaporator to the correct syrup consistancy. He averages about 150 gallons annually, but this year tapped only 600 of his 1000 trees because of unusually deep snow and late spring. He owns several farms; in this particular unit there are eighty acres. It has been in his family for three generations. He has about forty head of cattle, raises poultry and potatoes
