Maple Sugar Plentiful Despite Camp Bottlenecks in Viroqua
Maple sugar season runs well with record sap flow and a Williams camp claim of 40 barrels in a day. Camps lack sufficient tank storage to hold sap before boiling, risking loss as sap runs away. Williams camp uses up-to-date boiling gear and a man-stirred process to prevent scorching. Local notes include Westby’s Lawrence Grimsrud in town for legal matters and Henry Rogers adding an Oliver typewriter, plus Col R B McCoy's Sparta muster visit for Viroqua band recruitment.
