Old Red Rock Bridge Falls to Water and Ice
The Old Red Rock Bridge, over a century old since 1897, washed out by water and ice last week at the Knox Me Journal site. County Engineer BW Dutton notes the structure had no traffic value for over a year, with salvage limited to floor planks as steel lies crushed in the river. The nearby Red Rock Bridge, built about ten years ago for Highway 14, has rendered the old span largely unused and uneconomical to maintain.

Farms show real gains under normal limits, Wallace notes
The farms studied illustrate what steady management can achieve within financial and labor constraints. They are not ideal experiments but reflect typical operations. From 1929 to 1943, farm acreage and yields rose, with one 180-acre farm exemplifying efficient cropping and profitability though some text is garbled.
Foundation Trustees Report On Farm Productivity
The Foundation trustees state no more has been spent on increasing the farm's productivity than a typical farm owner could afford, noting an acre yield comparison of 49 bushels per acre from 144 to 1948 as a baseline. Wallace confirms the spending is within normal limits for farm development.
