xIsa ROAD DRAG, PLANK.

struction and maintenance Is to get
! rid Of the water and its bad effects,
Three systems of drainage are needed
First, tile or subdrainage. Wher-
ever the soil Is naturally wet from
ground water a line Of four inch tile
should be laid to q regular grade longi'
tudinally along the uphill side of the
road under the side ditch at depth OF
three or four feet.
Second, side bitches. A good, big
side ditch, built to q continuous grade
as determined by road level, SO that
the water will not stand in it at any
point, should be provided on each side
Of the road. The road level should be
used to make sure that the ditch IL
built to a grade which will not leave
ponds Of water in the bitches after
rains. All surface ponds should be
drained instead Of trying to maintain
shallow embankments subject to the
capillary action of water and to de-
struction by water and by muskrats.
Third, surface drainage. Proper
surface drainage, to shed the water
promptly into the side bitches, should
be provided by properly crowning the
road and by then keeping it hard and
smooth with q King road drag.
Earth roads will not maintain them
selves in good condition even II prop
erIy built, but require frequent atten-
ton. Without such attention the wa
ter does not shed into side bitches.
They thus become impossible after
heavy storms and when the frost goes
out and are very rough for long
while after such bad periods. The
work of maintenance should be direct
ed toward keeping the road smooth
and hard and maintaining or increas-
ing the crown.
The best as we'll as the cheapest in
strument we have found for this pur-
pose is the King road drag. Plans Of
this simple and inexpensive device are
given In accompanying cuts.
After each rain drive up one side Of
the wheel track and back on the other
side at least once with the drag IN po-

In Iowa the problem Of good roads
has been studied In such a way as to
bring prompt and practical help to the
country people. If the average farmer

that he might reasonably say, First

"Grass!and'' Not Free
Railways Decide New Interstate Law
Prevents Free Transportation For
North Wisconsin Car.
(From Iron River Pioneer. }

(From Iron River Pioneer.)
Secretary Fairall has been
notified by the railway compan-
les that under the Amended In
terstate Commerce Act, that
went into effect last week, that
they cannot, as heretofore, haul
the car "Grassland" free. A
year ago when the car went out
on its free movement under the
new state law it was conceded
to be legal but in connection
with the new federal law the
railways have decided that they
cannot continue free transport
tation even in Wisconsin.
This ruling presents a serious
question to the North Wisconsin
Farmers Association, now en-
bracing ten counties with more
counties on the way to join.
Preparations to send the car out
on it's fall and winter tour have
been in progress for some time
with many new plans for more
effective campaign than ever to
help settle the north county.
The cost of moving the car at
regular tariff rates would be
from $1,000 to $1,000 for the
coming season.
The Executive Committee of
the Farmers Association is cal
led to meet at Spooner Thurs
day, Sept. 6, at 1 P. m. to con-
slider the matter.
Secretary Fairall has alreany
had offers toward a fund to
move the car and he thinks the
needed amount can be acquired
from sources that have not
heretofore contributed to the
Association. While the secreta-
~ did not so state, it is inferred
that the subscriptions he refers
to would come from railway
companies.
Heresofore the railways-inter-
ested in Mort Wisconsin Ian Is in
increased travel-have confined
assistance to the movement by
free car passage. There is moth
ing now to prohibit them from
coming tnder the head of cash
contributors with the large mum
Der of people in these counties
who have been contributing
their part for over two years.
With the great good that the
Farmers Association and
Grassland" have done for
North Wisconsin It is hardly
to be conceived that the work
viii new be allowed to drop.
