Dragging the roads is one of the
best treatments they can be given,
but IN most cases the treatment is
not given at the right time. The
dragging should be done when the
surface of the road is in a plastic
state and then the action of the sun
will leave the ground baked and
this condition will remain all
summer. Dragging the road when
the surface is dry enough to pull
verize has no other effect than TO
smooth the road. Remember this
when You 90. on the road with your
drag ard be sure that you get out
before the surface is dry.
