Harvest the Crops Save the Yields On the battle fields of France and Flanders, the United States boys and the Canadian boys arc fighting side by side to win for the World the freedom that Prus sianism would destroy. While doing this they must be fed and every ounce of muscle that can be requisitioned must go into use to save this year's crop. A short harvest period requires the combined forces of the two countries in team work, such as the soldier boys in France and Flanders are demonstrating. The Combined Fighters In Francs and Flanders and the Combined Harvesters In America WILL Bring the Allied Victory Nearer. A reciprocal arrangement for the use of farm workers has been perfected between the Depart ment of the Interior of Canada and the Departments of Lbor and Agriculture of the United States under which it is proposed to permit the harvesters that are now engaged in the wheat fields cf Okie boma, Kansas.

SHADE FOR THE SURFACE Some of Most Important Details Ro qulrlna Careful Attention Are Fre quently Overlooked Soma Precautions to Observe. (Proparod by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture) Flguro 1 shows a typical cross sec tion for n gravel-road surface nnd In dicates the customary steps Involved In the construction of such a surface. The limiting thicknesses shown on this cross section are by no means followed universally, but arc believed to repre sent tho best current practice. The minimum thickness shown is supposed to be employed whero tho trnfllc is light and' the subgrade Is uniformly stable, while the maximum thickness Is adapted for opposite conditions. Perhaps the most usuul compneted thickness of surface Is eight Inches nt the center and six Inches nt the edges. The difference In thickness between tho edges and center Is effected by making the crown of tho subgrade flat ter than that of the surface. Tho construction of n gravel road usually Is divided Into two entirely dis tinct classes of work. Tho work of grading and preparing the subgrade falls Into one class, and that of haul ing, spreading nnd compacting tho grnvel into the other. The first class of work has been discussed at consid erable length In connection with earth and sand-clay roads, but since It Is desired to emphasize certain fentures of subgrade preparation that are of Increased Importance in connection with gravel-road construction, both classes of work will be considered In , the following discussion: I Preparation of the Subgrade. I In grading the roadbed and prepar ing tho subgrade for a gravel surface, it should be borne in mind also thnt the more expensive a road surfuce, tho ' greater should bo the care exercised to prevent It from being damaged I CS ii. w n s H fe-j3 .Cross section rtsdy to rtctivc 1h surfacing rateriil 3trft 5fe?zS'Cro section ihowini the first course of trswt spread and rolled S5terf BrokenW show the finishes rwd stdlon.

H. crown, vjrleo from i ir!i rer foot for level grads.io I Inch pec foot fer a grade of 5. Pio. 1 through settlement or upheaval of the subgrade, and the greater should be the accuracy with which the subgrade Is constructed, so that no unnecessary surfacing material may be-renulred to correct Irregularities In grade and cross section. No matter what the soil conditions may be, the subgrade for n gravel road surface, when completed, should conform closely in grndu and cross section with the requirements of the plans nnd should present an even, uniform appearance. Also, it should bo as firm and unyielding as the conditions will permit. Somo of the most Important details requiring careful attention In prepar ing thi" subgrade, and which nre per haps most frequently overlooked, are (1) Lnckfllllng culvert trenches so us to prevent subsequent settlement, (2) exclusion of vegetable matter from Alls, (3) provision for dralnlug wet weather springs which occur In tho subgrade, and (4) tho matter, of thor oughly loosening and distributing the materials contained in old road crusts. After the roadbed has been graded and drained properly, and the details mentioned tnbove have received proper nttentlon, the work of preparing the subgrade consists simply in forming a trench, us shown. In flguro 3, to receive the grayel surface. The trench may be formed largely with a grading ma chine, but the final shnplug should be effected by means of picks nnd shovels nnd rolling. It Is customary to provide grade stakes nt Intervals of about 50 feet, to serve as a guide for the pick nnd shovel work, and where extreme accuracy Js desired cords may bo stretched between the stakes to Insure that the subgrade conforms to tho required grade throughout Tho roll ing Is done ordinarily with a power roller weighing about ten tons. In order that the subgrade may bo well drained during the process of spreading nnd compacting tho gravel It Is frequently necessary to provide shoulder drains nt comparatively short Intervals. Such drains ure constructed by opening small ditches through tho shoulders nnd partially lining them with grnvel. Tho Gravel Surface. Tho prlnclpnl precautions to observe in constructing n grnvel road surfnee, after the subgrade Is prepared, may bo commented upon brlolly as follows: 1, The gravel should bo delivered on tho work In wagons or cars ospe- , dally adapted for spreading each load uniformly over thut part of the sub- grndu for which It Is Intonded. Whore loads arc dumped all In one spot nnd spreud later with shovels, as Is done frequently. It Is very dlfllcult to securo uniform density of tho surface rrust by subsequent harrowing nnd rolling. The spots whero tho loads are dumped ncnrly always will be more densely compacted than tho nrcas between, and, iib n result, uneven set'unent will develop soon. 2. The gravel should bo spread In two or more courses, nnd the thickness of tho different courses should be ap proximately the same, except thnt tho first course may bo mado some what thicker than the succeeding courses, because, In general, a thicker layer of gravel may be compneted on the subgrade than when spread over a lnyer of grnvel already compacted. It usually Is Impracticable to havo the compacted thickness of any course greater than about C Inches, and quite frequently 15 or -1 Inches Is as much as can be compacted satisfactorily at one time. 3. After each course of gravel is spread It should bo harrowed with n tooth harrow until the various sizes of particles nnd the binder or cement ing material are distributed thoroughly through the mass. Then It shouhl bo compacted by rolling with a power roller weighing about 10 tons, or by means of trnlllc. Where a roller Is cm ployed the rolling should bo continued until the pnrtlcles of gravel nre nil well bonded together nnd the surface presents a smooth, uniform appear ance. When completed, the surfneo of each courso should bo so firm and unyielding thnt it will not be disturbed In any way by subsequent trnfllc. 4. Whero It Is necessary to add sand or clay to the gravel In order to All the voids, It should be done after each courso Is spread nnd before It la harrowed, except that with some kinds of gravel It may bo permissible to add a limited amount of fine material to the surface of tho top course after the harrowing Is completed and tho rolling Is In progress. 5. Where the binder consists of somo material other than clay, It may be desirable to sprinkle each courso with water while it Is being rolled, and even where clay Is used as n binder a small amount of sprinkling may 1)0 necessnry In dry weather in order to secure n satisfactory bond. Tho sprinkling always should be done uni formly and In such quantities as not to wash the flno mnterlal out from the gravel or to soften the subgrade. 0. When tho road surfuce Is com- plete It should bo uniform In grade and cross section. If depressions qp cur under tho roller they should be corrected by adding gravel nnd con tinuing the rolling, and this should be kept up until no depressions or ap preciable waves nre produced by tho roller In moving back und forth over the surface. 7. After tho road is opened to traf fic It should be wutched very careful ly for severill months nnd all defects which develop should be corrected Im mediately. The work of mnlntalnlng tho road until tho surfneo no longer "picks up" or ravels under trnfllc should be considered nn essential fea ture of the construction. When trnlllc Is depended upon to compact tho grav el, much dragging usually Is 'neces sary In order to secure a smooth, well bonded surfuce. In fact, tho cost of dragging, under such conditions, fre quently mny exceed the cost of secur ing n well-bonded surface by means of rolling. The construction method described nbovo Is modified quite frequently by omitting tho subgrade trench and tho rolling. The practice followed in many localities Is simply to grade up tho roadbed and heap gravel along tho central portion. Trnfllc Is then de pended upon to spread and compact tho gravel nnd produce a uniform sur face. While Borne of the roads con structed In this way are great Improve ments over tho original earth roads they are nearly always crowned too much for comfortnble driving, nnd sel dom wenr ns well ns when tho more careful method of construction Is fol lowed. It Is believed, therefore, that In the long run It usually pays to em ploy a trenched subgrade an! to com pact the surfneo by rolling, though a possible exception to the economy of ft trenched Mibgrndo may estst where good gravel may be obtained very cheap. In this case It mny bo cheaper to surfnee the entire roadway than to Incur tho additional expense of trench ing and constructing earth bhoulders.
