Close studies of the losses sustained, inquiries into the prospective market- ability of the 1929 crop, and free tests of farmers’ grain to determine its potential value as seed, comprise the various angles from which the asso- ciation is directing widespread atten- tion to the matter of hardy and pro- ductive seed grains. counsel being offered at each of the seed meetings called. .

A bridge over the Susquehanna river, regarded of sufficient strength to serve for 100 years, was constructed in 1886 by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The plans for the bridge were drawn after conference with other railroad executives, who agreed that 160,000 pounds would be the mit of locomotive weight. In 1910, when locomotives already had weighed three times what was held to be the limit in 1886, the Susque- hanna river bridge had to be replaced because it was too light. Again in 1907, E. H. Harriman was reported to have said that locomo- tives, then still less than 500,000 Pounds, had reached the maximum with the present gauge tracks. For locomotives have been common, but it reamined for the Northern Pacific to obtain the first steam locomotive to weigh more than 1,000,000 pounds, —_—— { At the Movies : CAPITOL THEATRE Harvester Company Grants Vacations With Pay in Future In response to numerous inquiries, Georg e A.
