TIME To USE DRAG
Farmers Should Give Attention
to Roads Now That Corn
is Cribbed.
MUCH CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED
Left Alone Highways Now Muddy Will
Freeze Up Rough and Remain
So All Winter.

Most of the farmers have finished
picking corn, Thanksgiving being the
date which the great majority annually
set as the limit for this arduous task.
When the corn is in the crib there
will be a little time before the ground
freezes up for the winter TO ponder on
the subject of good roads. Therefore
it seems reasonable TO hope that the
praiseworthy split log drag resolutions
that were born with such flourish of
trumpets in the spring and have lain
dormant all summer will again come
forth and tangible results of their eX-
istence will be seen.
The use of the split log drag during
the next few weeks, while it will not
accomplish as much, perhaps, as the
same amount of energy expended in
the same direction in the spring, will
go far toward making the highways
passable during the winter If the sur
face is kept smooth it will freeze up
that way and water will run off better
during the early spring. Therefore it
will be decidedly worth while to cul-
tivate the acquaintance of the split log
drag during the next few weeks.
The subject is one that should be

brought home the more forcibly to the
people at this time from the fact that
country roads, because of the great
amount of rainfall recently, are now
in bad condition. This also makes it
the more important that the drag be
used. for with the highways muddy
now they are almost sure to freeze up
in that condition and remain rough for
the greater part of the winter and If
there is anything worse than a pull
though the mud it is humping over

mometer below zero and the wind

A Testimonial from johnson.
An important testimonial on the split
log drag's work is given by A. n. John
son, state highway engineer of Illinois,
who says:
"A bulletin which was issued recent
ly by the state highway commission
has been sent to every one of the rural
carriers and also to all the highway
commissioners and a great many other
people throughout the state. This bull
letin described the use of the road
drag and its effect on our mud roads,
if it were used at the proper time and
in the right manner. Many of you
can attest to the wonderful results
brought about with a small amount of
labor by the use of this simple con-
trivance 1t is not too much to say
that if all of our earth roads were
dragged in a systematic way they
would be reasonably passable for light
vehicles practically the year round
"Inasmuch as this method of road
Improvement is both simple and ineS-
pensive. and as the great majority of
the roads are in a condition TO be ben
Gifted by the dragging with scarcely
any preliminary work, there is little
excuse for not dragging nearly all the
public roads, even though but moder-
ately used.
Up to Carriers.
Perhaps no crater good could be
accomplished by the rural carriers
than to assist in some plan by which
road drags would become universally
used on the earth roads throughout the
state. 1t is too much to expect at first
that this will be done by merely re-
queSting the road commissioners to do
it. Until public sentiment is sufficient
~ aroused so as to make the request
or demand general for this kind of
work. it will not be done by the pub
lie road officials 10 any great extent"
