For that reason an artificial read
metal, a substitute for the ex.
pensive gravel, is extremely de-
sirable. The experiment con-
Quoted at Clarksdalc seems TO
have solved the problem.
The following are the details
OF the experiment. The road
bed was first plowed as deep as
a four.horse team could draw
the pillow. The clay was then
thrown in ridges with burrows
between, the ridges extending
crosswisc the road. Wood was
placed across the ridges, this
covering being followed by al.
tcrnate layers OF clay and wood.
The wood was fired from be.
meath by building fires in the
burrows. When the wood was
consumed the clay was left in
the form OF a "clinker." In the
''clinxer" form the clay has lost
its plastic properties; and no

ClayS for Road Metal

Geologist w. n. Logan, Agricultural
College, Miss.
In a report on the Geology of
Oktibbeha County, published in
1908, the writer advocated the
use of III "gumbo" clays in
road ballasting and described a
method by which these clays
could be economically burned.
More recently the United States
Bureau of Public Roads has
conducted IN experiment at
Clarksdale for the purpose OF
determining the value of the
burnt "gumbo" clays OF that re-
gion as road ballast. The OK
pertinent is considered very
successful from the standpoint
Of utility and economy.
The clay used is a very sticky,
plastic variety containing con.
siderable organic matter and re-
