TRAFFIC IS
TOO HEAVY
FOR BRIDGES
SPRUCE CREEK STRUCTURES
ARE SAID TO BE TOO LIGHT
ENGINEER ROGERS MAKES Ex-
ANIMATION AND GIVES sue.
GEsTioN FOR IMPROVEMENTS
FOR SAFETY,

That the bridges connecting the
Spruce creek and Rose bay fills on
the road between this city and
New Smyrna are really unsafe be.
cause they were built light and
because there is no factor of safe
ty," is the substance of a report
made by Engineer D. D. Rogers, after
thorough examination of the struc-
lures, made at the request of the
Daily News.
Following up a rumor that the
bridges are unsafe the Daily News
engaged Mr.. Rogers to make an
examination of the bridges and a
representative of the paper accom-
panied the engineer on the trip of
inspection. The bridge at Rose Bay
and the several structures connect
ing the fills at Spruce creek were
thoroughly and carefully examined,
and the engineer gives the opinion
She bridges can be made more safe
by placing better piles on the out
side of the bents to stop the lateral
motion, and that these repairs can
be made at nominal expense.
Mr.. Rogers has submitted the fol-
lowing report after his examination
of the bridges:
Editor Daily News: AS per your
request We have recently inspected
the bridges on the Rose bay and
Spruce creek fills, on the Daytona
and New Smyrna road, and find that
they were originally built rather
light, there being only four small
palmetto piles to the. bent, which
leaves no factor of safety Should
any one Of the utside pfling fail
he structure could not help giving
way, as there are no batter pile. or
he fifth pile, to reinforce them.
The caps and stringers are of
GOOD heart material and the palmetto
bling of good heart timber, show
ng Judgment in the selection OF ma
.erials, but the structure is very
light for the present traffic. 7
Batter pile on the outside Of I
he bents would stop all lateral mo- C
ion and greatly strengthen the struc- t
ure otherwise, at d nominal expense. t
Concrete or stone abutments S
hould be put in at an early date and a
-ould be more economical, eventual
Y, than palmetto sheet piling. s.

1t costs, on the average. less than
q dollar a bushel to test seed corn,
or about one cent an ear Figuring
that twelve good ears will plant an
acre, the sum required to test enough
seed to raise 60, and perhaps more,
bushels on an acre of good Iowa soil
Ia slight indeed when compared with
the value of the crop. One bad ear
will lower the yield five or more
bushels, perhaps. meaning loss Of
about three dollars. taking this years

Alfalfa Seed
Is Plentiful

This is going to be an alfalfa year
in Iowa, say experienced farmers, and
there is seed supply in the state
ample for the demand that will come
for it. "If l were a farmer planning
to start growing alfalfa" said L. C..
Burnett, farm crop experimentalist
at the Iowa experiment station, II
would buy enough seed right now to
last me two or three seasons. The
price for high-class seed is about $40
a bushel at the present time. That
is fair price. But the best part Of
the situation Is that the seed avail
able in Iowa now is extra fancy In
quality. Iowa farmers in buying al
falfa seed should give preference to
the northern Kansas, Nebraska and
South Dakota seed and avoid seed
from southern Kansas and the irrigat-
ed districts of the west"
OF other farm seeds there is a nor
NAL supply except in the case of clo-
yer. There is also small shortage
in barley seed, though nothing serious.
Glover seed prices are now sky high /;
for fancy grades $40 per bushel
price is being asked, whereas $40 is a
normal price. There Is good supply
of clover seed in Iowa. According to
reports received from seedsmen and
farmers, there Is available for sale at
the present time about $4,000 pounds.

The corn available for seed in Iowa
this coming spring is generally poor.
1t Is important that every farmer In
the state give his seed thorough test,
and he ought to do it now, and set
every member of his family at the
Job of selecting the strong, vigorous
seed ears and rejecting the weak.
The writer has assisted in judging
corn at several corn shows during
the past two months, and has talked
with hundreds of farmers at the short
course schools. There Is a large
amount of frozen corn at most of the
shows, and general sentiment pre-
wallis that good seed will be scarce.
About 10 of every 100 kernels Of
seed corn planted In Iowa the average
season are dead, % more are weak.
Only about 65 Of every 100 kernels are
strong.
During the past eight years seed
has been taken from $500 corn plant
ers on as many farms in about 80
counties of Iowa. In most cases these
samples We're carefully tested with
the results as indicated in the follow
ing table:
