BIG PEACH CROP
NAY REVIVE INDUSTRY
speeIal to the Eyenlng Journal.

Special TO the Evening Journal
Milford, May 9.-The nights are cool
and the days dry and dusty. Hardly
good weather for crops. Small truck
Is suffering for rain and wheat is at a
standstill Corn planting is generally
In vogue but wise farmers are waiting
for rain. With each coming season
growers are becoming more and more
ia favor of seeding corn later, some
putting in the grain last year about the
first Of June with good results.
The acreage TO be given to tomato
growing this year will not be as large
as last year Farmers are shy about
signing contracts. Gamers did not
realize good prices for their last sea-
sons especially for the hold
over stock, and as a consequence they
want the fruit grown for Sc per ton,
and are restricting growers to certain
rules for delivery that the latter say
are a hardship.
The acreage given to peas is larger
than for some seasons. Growers say
that while they realize very little from
this crop, the pea harvest comes when
there Is nothing in its way and that
IL is easily managed and little trouble
to handle.
Gamers are busy now getting their
establishments in shape. ID. Refs, the
biggest packer in this part of the state,
is increasing his capacity. Two new
how wells have been put down; his
steam boilers have been added to by
the putting in place last week of an
eighty horse power horizontal one; he
has built an addition to his skimming
shed and added twenty feet to the en-
glne department Mr. Refs expects TO
pack a great many peaches this year.
as present prospects point to such a
yiold that Gamers may use that part
OF the crop which IL will not pay to
ship. Il is even hinted that some OF
this large crop may be evaporated
There are still few machines stand
ing. though they have stood idle since
the California peaches came in and
superseded fruit Of this Peninsula.
Fifteen years ago, and for some years
previous to that time, the evapor-
ating business was an import
ant industry on the Peninsula, and
especially in this vicinity Eyaporating
machines were built here in Milford
In large numbers by william r. Phil
lips, George S. Grier, William n. Hop
kins and one or two others. Their
plants now stand idle. With a full
crop Cf peaches for two or three years
might be expected a revival of these
businesses, or part of them.

suspend operations on New Castle anC

proceeding has been determined upon
by John c. Mahoney the Seventh
street property owner who contends
that his property will be damaged by

their work on the street yesterday. Tho
necessary papers are now being pre-
pared by +. De H. Janvier, and they

Chancellor Nicholson before 6 O'Clock

Mr.. Mahoney yesterday thought OF
not interfering with the laying OF the
tracks, and Of later bringing suit fol
damages to his property, but he has
since determined TO institute the Chan.
Gerry Court proceeding. That is the
most summary way Of dealing with the
matter, he believes. The only way the
company can avoid the litigation
which will probably prevent the oper-
alton of the line this Summer. is to lay
fiat rail along the street This will
be satisfactory to Mr. Mahoney and to
other property holders concerned.
They say that inasmuch as the Will
mlngton and New Castle Company was
compelled TO use a fat rail within the
city limits the new company should be

at a trining cost.
IL might be necessary, they think, to
sow some grass seed also, as a few
spots looked thin last Summer, and
are not likely to be any better when
