Those We Pay.

Under this head the Milford ChrOn-
icle discusses the question of competi-
tive wages, and says:
Already the competition among
Gamers has become so active as to
bring out the rough edges of some
mems characters, and we hear COM
plants of unfair dealing In the procur-
ing of help and contracting for fruit.
ITO carry on any manufacturing
business a plant is necessary that in
wolves an outlay of more or less capital;
as soon as such factory is established
everybody in the neighbOrhoOd has a
direct interest in its success, for its es-
tablishment is guarantee that labor
and raw material will be in demand,
making money circulate more freely,
and by so much making every busi-
ness more profitable in the neighbor-
hood. But these improvements come
not without some Inconvenience and
hardships to all. Our farmers rejoice
in the establishment of canneries and
evaporatOrs in their midst, finding that
through these factories they are insured
q better price for their produce, and
the list of their profitable crops is made
manifold but they buy these advan-
tages at the expense of higher wages
for help on the farm, because help has
been placed in greater demand.
a." If one factory is q benefit, two are
a double heneft, aud many are q man
fold benefit in the increased demand
and active competition for the produce
of the land, but with each additional
factory the labor question is made
more intricate.
"Thus far the farmers have borne
their portion of the burden of the in
creasing prosperity with philosophical
cheerfulness and promptness, increas-
ing the sums year by year for help,
and increasing the number of hands as
new crops apd INCREASED acreage have
made these necessary or possible. 1t is
no uncommon thing to find hundred
acres in the State now that employs a
hundred hands that twenty years ago
were titled with two! And whereas
Sc or So would in those days paw the
labor of man for the month, now this
sum will hardly suffice for a weeks
work for a halfgrown girl or boy!
with few exceptions, the help has
been satisfactory and very contented
finding their wages increased from
season to season at a ratio beyond their
expectations they have had no occa-
sion for strikes, and but little cause for
complaint. In the main, when our
help engage with o person for the sea-
son they observe their unwritten con-
tract with honor and credit to them
selves that are worthy of all commen-
dalton.
1--WE said we have heard some
complaints, but we never expect to
conduct newspaper without hearing
these. We are always most sorry
when complaint for cause is made
against q farmer, and we are happy to
believe that these are the exception
rather than the rule. We should be
happy to believe that Gamers and
evaporators are all too honorable to
take undue advantage of farmers or of
each other"

Western corn growers persist in
planting corn after corn. The result is
that they have bred a worm which
eats the roots and which lives in the
ground from year to year. AS it is
not migratory its existence depends on
having corn planted on the same field
in succession. Good husbandry, which
demands rotation of crops, will there
fore rid farmers of this pest.

Fraland Beach.

Charles Warner & Co., of Whining
ton, in their interesting volume of III
pages detailing the various items in
their multiplied business pursuits thus
speaks of Fraland Beach, which until
the devastating storm of '76 was COM
ing into prominence as a bay-side Sum-
mer resort:
"Such material is furnished by the
beach at Bombay Hook, on the Della
ware River, from which the sand sold
by Charles Warner & Co., is exclusive
ly derived. Fraland Beach, the place
in question, was formerly owned by
Enoch Spruance, of Smyrna, Del, and
has supplied the best sand to builders
in the city of Wilmington for upwards
of forty years. This sand is still pre-
ferred to any other offered for sale in
the city and contains only 0.05 or one
twentieth part per cent. of soluble mat
ter, the remainder being sharp, clean
sand, free from all traces of debris or
waste matter.
"The johnson Forge Company, of
this city, found this sand so valuable
for furnace bottoms, that they have
directed shipmentsto be made to Rich
mond, Virginia, for use in their FUR
naces located there.
"The beach itself is in the form OF a
crescent, situated near the embouchure
| of the Delaware River and little
above the head of the bay. The area
! is about 10 acres, and as the sand is de-
posted on this at every tide, the sup
ply is to all intents and purposes mex
haustible, while the quality is uniform.
"The exact manner in which the
sand thus accumulates at this place Is
not easily explained, but it may be
stated in general terms that 1T Is borne
down on the current of the river till
the latter meets the rising tide at a
point where the formation of the bank
favors the development of ar eddy, the
sand being deposited while the lighter
alluvium and organic matter remain
suspended and are carried out to sea.
The point is, in fact, a natural triple
sieve, in which the very light matter
passes through, while the very heavy
is arrested at the outset, the medium
portion alone being retained.
Analysis shows the sand to consist
of:
Pure sand (silica). A;
Peroxide of Iron a;
Moisture and trace of volatile organic matter. IL
1OoG
"The analyst adds that there was NJ
lime capable of being separated from
the silica by acids. The absence o
chloride of sodium (salt) is a valuable
and distinguishing feature of the Fra
land Beach sand.
"The Beach was purchased il
August, 1882, by Charles Warner &
Co., from Lucius p. Campbell, of Duel
Creek Hundred, the present owner o
the adjoining land. In the fall of thu
same year (18S2), four vessels were EN-
ployed by the firm in the transporta
ton of sand between Wilmington AM
Fraland Beach. They have since con
structed expressly for the service, tw
schOoners; the Maud, 65 tons, and tn
,Sandsnipe, of IS tons. These vessel
are constantly employed, making tri
weekly trips, the material being un
loaded on u wharf purchased eXpressl
for this branch of Charles Warner
Co.'S. trade.
"They have also designed, and wi
soon erect machinery to insure til
economical transfer of sand from We!
sells to cars to be used not only fO
building purposes, but by furnace
located on the lines of railroads ths
centre at their wharves."
