GRANT COUNTY
1915 SEED CORN

Robert Jordan of this city, takes
keen interest in good corn, and has
been noted for the excellent corn he
is able to produce. Mr.. Jordan's plot
is small-on1y one-half acre, and con-
sequently the amount raised is not
considerable This year he took quite
an interest in the farmers week
meetings and when Mr.. GRADER re-
quested samples, Mr.. Jordan brought
ten Yellow Dent ears in for test. The
corn was picked dry this fall and
stored in the buggy shed. The follow
ing tells what Mr.. GRADER thought of
the corn:
Mr.. Robert Jordan,
Lancaster, Wis,
Dear Sir:
Regarding the termination test OF
your corn will say that results were
as follows:
Ears Nos. SO, 81, SO, 80, 100, 1O1, 1O2,
lob, 1O4, los each gave strong
sprouts and dead. This termination
was perfect-1OO per cent. This corn
was the best of all the corn we sampl-
ed as far as termination was con-
cerned. I wish I had about GOO BUSH
els of seed like this.

Zeppelin Bombs.

Basing his calculation upon the
data which were procured when the
"a made a descent at Luneville,
France, in 1913, Aeronautics estimates
that the maximum capacity of the
modern Zeppelin for carrying high ex-
plosives is about liz tons, and that
they cannot possibly carry the five
tons which have been claimed for
these ships of the air.
The same authority estimates that
in crossing the 300 miles from the
German base to the English coast a
ton and half of fuel is consumed,
and that if ton and half of explo-
sive is carried static state of equilib-
rum will have been attained by the
time the coast is reached, the lifting
power thereafter being dependent
upon the lifting planes. Explosive
bombs carried by the Zeppelin weigh
1856 pounds and the incendiary bombs
about twenty pounds each.

repairs, such as patching, cleaning
culverts, ETC., and from $500 to $425
per year was the necessary annual
charge in order to resurface at pc
RODS varying from six to seven years.
The sum of 1925 per mile, on an aver
age, should therefore maintain mac
adam roads if changes and increases
Of traffic are not excessive. 1t must
be understood, however, that in many
instances where macadam suficed for
the volume and character of traffic
prior to 1906, it will not Withstand the
action of the motor vehicle traffic
which has developed since that time.
Many miles of ordinary or water
bound macadam road have been re-
surfaced with bituminous materials,
and many miles of new bituminous-
macadam have been constructed. The
logical maintenance of such highways
is a surface treatment with bitumi-
nous material and rock screenings,
clean gravel, or sharp sand. The cost
of such surface treatment is from
to IL cents per square yard, and it
may be expected to last from one to
three years, according to the density
of traffic and the success of the appli-
cation. theoretically, perfect surface
treatment would constitute absolute
maintenance for a bituminous-mac-
adam road. Such maintenance is
seldom or never realized and bitumi-
nous-macadam roads doubtless require
resurfacing at intervals. The cost of
such resurfacing is not yet known.
Repair and Maintenance.
The average cost for repair and
maintenance of 1900 miles of highway
in Connecticut, Massachusetts,, New
York, New Jersey and Rhode Island,
| for the year 1912, was about $500 per
mile. A large part of this money was
! expended for bituminous resurfacing
and bituminous surface treatment
There is some question whether the
expenditure correctly measures the
average cost of repairing and main.
| tanning bituminous-macadam roads
In the state of New York, however
for the years 1911 and 1912 the aver
age cost for repair and maintenance
was 1924 per mile upon total aver
age Of 1851 miles. The annual cost
of repair and maintenance on Massa
chusetts state roads for the years
1910, 1911 and 1912 was, respectively
S642, $647 and 1915 per mile for about
$50 miles. For the most part these
figures for New York and Massachu
sets represent the cost per mile Of
resurfacing with bituminous materia
and of maintaining bituminous-macad
am and water-bound macadam road:
| by surface treatment with bituminoui
material. 1t is clear, therefore, thai
for heavy traffic trunk line roads S70(
per mile is not an excessive estimate
at present for the annual cost of al
repair and maintenance on bitumi-
nous-macadam roads.
