PHILIPPINE BR1DGF-BU1LD1NG.
About 100000 of American Money
Has Been Spent During the
Past Year.

Although excellent timber, suitable
for bridge building, is to be found in
most provinces, it is difficult to obtain:
speedy delivery at the points where
needed; beside, all timber must be
dressed by hand. It was therefore found
expedient to export Oregon pine from
America, which was largely used for
bridges, many of them being construct
ed to standard plans in. Manila and
shipped, Knocked down. to the sites
and there erected, writes Capt. w. w.
Harris, in Engineering Magazine. In
all this road and bridge work, natives
were employed in large numbers and
divided into squads, over each of which
an engineer soldier acted as overseer
Noncommissioned officers of engineers
were charged with general supervision
over several squads, and all the en-
gineer work in single district, usually
embracing several provinces, was
placed in charge of an engineer lieu
tenant, who received his orders from
the engineer officer Of the department.
Thus a complete line of responsibility
and control was arranged, which has
worked very satisfactorily In practice.

pended during the last year and half

Winter Wheat Experiments.

Prof. w. NJ. Hays, of the Minnesota
experiment station, has issued bulle-
tin on winter wheat, in which he gives
the results of experiments with several
varieties. Prof. Hays concludes that
the hardest varieties can be grown
successfully in southeastern Mime
sofa. Prof. Hays says in the bulletin:
during the past several years the
acreage sow to winter wheat in south
eastern Minnesota has been gradually
increasing. Several years ago the
Minnesota experiment station began
the testing of varieties of winter wheat
from different sources. During the
years 1900 and 1901 either no crops
were secured or very poor ones, owing
to winter killing. During the years
1902 and 1908: however, following win
tiers less severe on these wheats, a
number of the best winter varieties
have yielded two-thirds more than the
best spring varieties on the university
farm"
