DRAINAGE IS BIG ESSENTIAL
Chief Requirement of Good Earth
Road Is Drainage Keep Crown
Properly Dragged.
It can be truthfully said1 that drain
nge Is the chief essential In putting
earth roads into proper condition. An
old Scotchman, an expert road builder,
aptly said that the three requirements
of good earth onds are drainage, more
'Jralnnge, nnd still more drainage. The
roads must not only have good surface
ilrulnage but must also have good tin
Jer drainage. Surface drainage is se--ured
by proper grading, adequate side
ditches, and by keeping tho crown of
Jio road properly driigged. Stretches
of road that do not dry out quickly
must be under-drained by tile.
The drag must be used after each
rain. If the best results nre to be se
cured. Don't go on the road while too
muddy, let It dry out slightly; It should
to wet enough, however, so It will not

crumble, but smear. When properly
used, the .drag brings a thin layer of
earth toward the center of the rond
which Is rolled und packed between
the wet periods. If too much crown Is
secured by dragging, the angle of the
drag should be reversed.
Getting the earth roads graded,
ditches open, well drained, nnd prop
erly crowned by dragging Is about oil

GREAT 1920 ROAD PROGRAM
Necessary for Many States to Post
pone Expenditure of Federal
Funds for Building.
David F. Houston, secretary of agri
culture. In his annual report, calls at
tention to the fact that the 1910 pro
gram for federal aid road building Is
greater than any previous annual
rond-bullditig nccoinpjlshnient In this
country. It Is so great, In fact, that
It undoubtedly will be necessnry for
many of the states to postpone until
1920 the expenditure of the federal
fundi, because of the necessity of de
veloping experienced contracting nnd
engineering organizations from tho
stngnnnt conditions brought about by
the war. Under the terms of tho fed

BIGGER TAXES ON BAD ROADS

Some folks object to a good roads
tax. The American farmer pays great

on the construction and maintenance
of good ronds. Tho time and labor
