GEO. ". BATTERTON HAS
ACCOMPLISHED MUCH
FORBETTER HIGHWAYS

Sturgeon, Mo-, April 12.-The farm
ers i'm this section have concluded
that good roads are just as necessary
as good crops, and that both are
necessary to make a prosperous COM
munity. This is planting time. and
the farmers are busy preparing their
lands for crops, but not too busy to
spend a few hours nee a week grad
ing and dragging the roads in front
Of their farms, al planned by the
Brotherhood of Road Draggers organ
lied here Saturday.
Several splitlog drags are in use
in the three townships embraced in
the organization. Others will be
placed in commission this week, and
when the brotherhood meets here
again, April "a, 1t will be turned in
to an experience meeting, each farm
err to tell what he has accomplished
and to exchange ideas about the most
successful way Of grading and drag
ging the roads.
Following the example Of George
w. Batterton, president of the broth
erhood, who purchased his own grad
er and modelled his own drag, the
different localities are subscribing
small sums of money to purchase
neighborhood graders. The cost is
small and the results are great. First
the roads and streets of Sturgeon
will be graded and then dragged,
the drag placed so it will throw the
dirt collected in front of 1t to the
center of the road, thus forming a
| water shed Of hard clay. The day
after a rain it is almost as smooth
and hard as a boulevard. After the
roads are once placed in good condi-
ton all that is necessary to Keep
them that way Is to run a grader
over them once a year to keep the
drainage bitches on either side clean
and to run the drag over them after
heavy rains to keep the roads well
rounded SO they will turn water into
the drainage bitches instead Of allow
ing it to stand in says and low places
in the road to ~perpetuate mud holes
and bad places.
The plan Of cooperation here Is
working admirably and, judging from
the number of inquiries by mail from
this and other states, great interest
Is being aroused in other sections for
the hard dirt roads.
Omar d. Gray, editor of the Stur-
geon Leader, devotes a column in
his paper each week to the good
roads movement.
