PROPER TIME FOR DRAGGING

Some of the folks in our township
claim they have not had much success
with the road drag and say it is not

lies in not dragging at the right time.
If dragged too soon after hard rain
the road will be in ridges of mud and
If dragged when dry they will be a
mass of dust. Drag just as soon after
81 rain as the dirt shows sufficient
moisture to pack well and you will
have good roads. II roads are dragged

freeze, they viii keep smooth long
