THE KING ROAD DRAG.
Its Use Becoming More General
Every Year.

Its Use Becoming More General
Every Year.
The demand for good roads has come to
stay. The details OF the process by which
this demand shall be satisfied is problem
in practical craftsmanship still to be solved.
This will take time, but meanwhile
great deal can be accomplished by de-
velopment OF public spirit-a willingness
to max. some personal sacrifice for the
general welfare. Rural delivery, grange,
telephone, etc., have developed higher
conception OF the citizens relation to the
municipality, and it is showing itself in
many ways.
The split-log drag is being introduced
all over the State at rate that means q
have yet learned to use them effectively
Little is accomplished beyond smoothing
up the ruts. There seems to be q general
notion that clay roads have got to be all
but impossible for few weeks every
spring anyhow. This is a legacy that
comes down from the days Of the now
antiquated ''road machine. There is
nothing in it.
Used at the right time, the King drag
will shape up the clay road as effectively
as the wheel scrsper. Better yet, it will
do the work weeks before the machine can
be used at all, and the road will remain
passable all the time. Best of all, the
single man with team to operate the drag
costs hut fraction of the crew necessary
with the old-style equipment. Maine
does not need to spend even as much money
as is now the custom in order to have
good roads in the country.
In order to settle this question of the
proper time to use the drag, the street
commissioner OF Waterville experimental
on the Sidney road near the close OF the
recent rainy spell. The result proved
conclusively that where the road lacks
sufficient crown to drain properly, the
more wet 1t is the better. Even the
slough holes became readily passable in
remarkably short time, and were left in
condition to shed water at the next storm.
Another common error is to build the
drag with the cutting edge OF steel clear
across the front. This lessons the ten
dency to crown up the road and is
marked disadvantage. The cutting edge
should extend about half way across, thus
leaving that part nearer the centre OF the
road to act more as q leveler.
As time goes on knowledge OF these
practical details will become diffused, and
improvement may be expected each year,
but country life will fall far short OF pos
sibilities so long as the roads are allowed
to become 'sloughs Of despond" each
spring. The possibilities OF the King
drag need to be demonstrated in every
town in the clay country.
