Big Grapevines.

There is phenomenal grapevine in
Gaillac, southern town in France.
Although the plant is only ten years old,
it has yielded in one year 1,2S7 punches
of delicious fruit. There is but one vine
which excels this wonderful shrub, and
that is the noted historical vine of
Hampton Court, England, which was
planted in 1893, and now measures
forty-seven yards. In the first year of
the last comet it gave from its single
growth over 1850 punches of grapes.
The fruit from this vine is kept exclu-
sively for the use of the table of the
queen, and the surplus is made into
wine for her majesty and her family

the Atkinson Co.'s first order from the

Eight Hours.

The Oxford Press is "down on"
the eight hour day which was estab-
lished at the last session of congress,
and figures out a great loss by it's
adoption. Hadn't the Press better
study that question llttle-yes a
good deal-more before it commits
itself? In reference to farming in
connection with the eight hour day.
There are $500 hours in year of 8
hour days. Will the Press inquire of
some of the most observing Chester
county farmers if they can put in
that many hours of work in year?
1t is o great pity that country editors
will not examine these economic
questions carefully before launching
an opinion on them. The city daily
press is a thoroughly mercenary in
stitution whose mission is to mislead
and deceive, to distort facts and
promote error. TIE country press
should exercise great caution before
accepting its dictum.

A Ship Canal in Cecil.

The Trades League of Philadelphia
have under consideration a project
to make ship canal of the Delaware
and Chesapeake. A party went oyer
the route from Delaware City to
Chesapeake City few days ago, in
company with Superintendent Price
and were greatly impressed with the
feasibility of the project, so it is
said. The estimate cost is s., 100000.
No aid will be asked from the Coy
eminent for the canal proper, but APP.
preparations will be asked for dredg
ing the approaches, particularly at
the Back Creek entrance. This is
what the parties give out in advance.
Aid would be asked if there seemed
to be prospect of getting it.
The 81, 900 net estimated cost
would have to have added to it about
100000 of water as it would be
very dry stock for Wall street to
gamble in without water. There ism t
thimble full of dry stock of a public
carrier corporation in the country.
The proposed canal, when COM
pleted will be the largest in the
country, and perhaps in the world.
The summit level will be abolished
entirely from st, Georges TO Chesa-
peake City, making tide level canal
with but one tide lock at Delaware
City. 1t will have ii capacity for
floating the largest sea going vessel.
The tide lock will be 600 feet long,
20 feet wide, with drift of 27 feet
and top width of 13l feet. The
canal has many natural advantages,
For seven miles it is a natural
channel, being the bed of st. Georges
Creek, which in some places is hall
mile wide, affording excellent
scenery. Then comes three miles OF
what is known as the Deep Cut, being
the connecting link between St
Georges Creek and Back Creek
flowing into Elk river.

bles and garden stuff have suffered
probably from the dry weather more

wait for water to gather in the dams.
The history of the Richards family
in Cecil county is being prepared by
Mr.. Joseph t. Richards of Philadel
phia, great grandson of the founder,
Thomas Richards. In the year 1896
Thomas Richards moved from
Chester valley, Chester county, Pa,
into the Sixth district of Cecil
county, where he purchased a tract
of 400 acres of land. The land lies
on the east side of the Octoraro creek
and it is said that Mr.. Richards paid
for it the first year in wheat raised
on the place.
Those where good times for the
farmer, and our "single tax" friends
say that equally good times for him
can be again realized by adopting
their theory and providing as free
access to the land as then. How do
the farmers of to-day suppose this
crop of wheat was marketed? It
was taken on pack horses to "Chris-
teen," Del, where it was shipped,
and the price was about 33 cents per
bushel. But how could farming be
so profitable with such crude means
of transportation and low price?
Because conditions were all on the
same plain, and the farmer enjoyed
all the wealth he created. This is
the answer to the problem and any
farmer can think it out if he will
apply himself to its salution.
