FLoRIDA's GREAT BRIDGE
est. Petersburg independently

Florida may be said to be state of great
bridges. It's numerous bridges, spanning broad ex-
panses of water, combine to form of the states
unique and interesting features The city of Key
West is linked with the mainland by the rails of the
Florida East Coast railway over concrete trestle
work extending from island to island, the whole
forming the worlds longest bridge" It is rightly
called the oversee railway" because it makes
many wide jumps over ocean water deep enough to
float the largest ship. 1t stands as marvel of
scientific engineering.
In the beginning many people, regarding the
feat as impossible, believed that the undertaking
would prove a failure. They counted the great
cost along with other handicaps--strong current,
extreme depth of water and the long spans to be
made Now that it is completed and the doubters
answered, the undertaking does not so extraordi-
nary nor as 'impracticable'' as it once did.
1t is human nature when one great undertaking
is achieved that others great or even greater
attempted It is a spirit like this which keeps the
world moving along lines of higher attainment;
and is that with the object lesson before them,
the people of Monroe County in which Key West
is located, have begun the construction of auto
mobile highway from that city to the mainland, the
first span Of which has already been completed.
Among Florida's great bridges are the bridge
across the st. Johns River at Jacksonville; that
from Bradenton to Anna Maria Key; the causeways
from Miami across Bay Biscayne to Miami Beach.
other causeways on the east coast; the causeway.
from Clearwater 20 Clearwater Beach and the
bridge which preceded it; and the great Candy
bridge across Old Tampa Bay.
And these are not all. On Wednesday of last
week the bridge across Escamba Bay, S.S miles
long, completed, dedicated and opened to traf-
fic
1t is link in the Old Spanish Trail, and opens
route westward into Pensacola. The attend
ing ceremonies were featured by addresses by Gov
the road department in this state. In his remarks

standing event of the year in the national road
building program
THE bridge is more than local or statewide
Importance. II does more than connect west Flor
ida with south Florida. The Escamba bridge is the
connecting link that brings together the entire gulf
coast country. connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
coast through the road and bridge systems Of the
state and union"
Other bridges and other causeways have been
constructed and in course Of construction con-
meeting many important highway systems through
out the state, and others stil in contemplation
as the great Florida highway system is being
evolved. all Of which add not only to the eonven-
ience Of the people. but which form important links
in the general at,ractiveness and development Of
the state.

miums for cash winter wheat were
sharply reducted as new crop wheat
began to arrive at the markets.
The winter wheat crop deteriorated
material udring May, particularly in
Nebraska and Kansas where the condi-
ton June / indicated a crop of about
100000 bushels smaller than was
indicated by the May / condition. Crop
prospects in the Pacific Northwestern
states were also less favorable than a
month ago as a result of dry weather.
In the soft winter wheat states of
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois conditions
have improved and indicates an increase
of around 100000 bushels over the
May 1 estimate. There was also an
indicated increase of about 100000
bushels in the Texas crop during May.
The total winter wheat crop in the
United States is now estimated at 549,-
/ 300, 900 bushels, or about 145,000,000
/ bushels larger than last year.
! The condition of spring wheat on
June / was estimated at 1875 per cent,
the lowest June condition on record
and more than 10 points lower than
the last ten years. The condition OF
the crop is below the usual average in
every State of the spring wheat belt
Lack of moisture has been the princ1-
pal cause of the poor condition and the
final yield will depend largely on mois-
the season.
The official June 1 report by tn,
Canadian Bureau of Statistics estimated
the condition of winter wheat at g.
per cent of the 10-year average condi
ton, the spring wheat at 104 per cen
and all wheat at 103 per cent. Thi
would indicate yield slightly less thar
was indicated by the June 1 condition
last year. Weather conditions in Can
ada remains generally favorable at thi
time. European crop conditions deteri
GRATED somewhat during May and pros
poets are not now as favorable as a
this time last year. The harvest 1
all European countries was an unusual
ly large one last year owing to favor
able growing conditions. There is yer
little difference in the area sown
these crops this year but growing cor
ditions have been less favorable.
