Farmers bulletin No. 321. recently
issued by the department Of agricul-
ture ut Washington, takes up in
complete way the subject of the split
log drag which has worked such a
transformation In the roads In many
sections Of the country. Graphic de-
scriptions Of the drag are given, while
careful instructions follow telling how
the drag is built and should be used
The magnitude Of the good roads
movement and the important part
which the new drag is playing will be
realized when 1t Is known that there
are In the United States 2,O0O, 900 miles
OF dirt roads, the cost Of the ADEQUATE
maintenance Of which would run from
S20 to $50 per mile were the high
priced ditcher with its force of men
and teams employed to do the road
work. Results Of so definite character
have been obtained that the bulletin
states that the cost Of maintaining
the same roads by use Of the split LOG
drag and plank ditch cleaner would he
out from Sl.5O to IS per mile and the
Job be better done ut that.
