the road in good shape with little
work. But if you travel on each side,
you make deep ruts and the water
cannot get intQ the ditches at the sides
of the road. The road along this line
is in good shape now. Farmers, won’t
you please fix a road drag out of some
old planks and drag the road along
your line? It will require one hour’s
work along your place.
