TIE TOP SOIL ROAD,
Details Of a Method Which Origi-

Traffic and Weather - Cost From

\ new method of road construc-
tion which was recently evolved i'll
Clark county, GA. Is called the top
soil method, because it consists of
building the road out of the surface
soil from the adjacent fields. In some
respects it is like the sand-clay meth
od. while in others it is similar to the
gravel road. So far as the writer is
aware. Clark county, Ga, enjoys the
distinction Of having originated this
method. The details We're worked out
by Professor G.. NJ. Strain of Georgia
university and Clark county's COM
missioner of deeds.
The success of this method depends
largely upon the soil used. Just any
soil will not do. 1t must have enough
sand or gravel in 1t to resist the action
of the traffic and weather and enough
clay to bind the particles together. 1t
is we'll known that. although clay has
a high cementing value. it will not
make Il good road if used alone on ac-
count OF the fact tllat Whcn IL Is wet
it absorbs moisture and softens. 1t
is also we'll known that round. water
worn gravel or sand which is clean
and free from clay will not produce Il
satisfactory road surface because nei-
Their will bind. but if clay. gravel and
sand are mixed together in certain
proportions they have been found to
produce surface which will be both
hard and smooth the year round.
If these materials can be found al
ready mixed the trouble and expense
of mixing can he avoided. 1t is Il com
mon practice throughout the United
States to use bank gravel for road sur
facing which has Il little clay in it.
but Clark county is the first, | be
lieve, to skin the top soil from the
adjacent fields and use it for this pur-
