hint: Pad the outer edges of the harrow.

A VALUABLE SERVICE.

The road building demonstration
work that is to be carried on under
the auspices OF Trinity College testi-
fes once again to the usefulness of
the college to the community,
1t IS being more and more realized
that the counties are not getting
value received for the money that is
being expended on the county roads
in the laying of ordinary macadam.
Roads that were built comparatively
short time ago are now practically
worthless. The macadam which was
put down at heavy expense has wash
ed and blown away. leaving the roads
full of holes and in almost as bad
condition as before the macadam was
laid. Just what is to blame for this
condition IS hard TO determine. and
The course TO pursue in order TO make
the roads more permanent Is still
harder to determine. Representatives
Of various oil companies declare that
the panacea for road building ills
lies in the use OF their mult-compo-
site road binding materials. The
sand clay method OF raod building
has many persistent advocates who
claim that the maximum amount OF
service and permanency can be
secured for the expenditure for this
kind Of road.
G vernment experts whose bust
ness 1t is to study such QUESTIONS
should be able TO determine what
method Of road building would be
best for each community. BY hav-
ing the experts to study conditions
IN Durham county and give a demon
stration OF road building. the faculty
II Trinity College will be doing a
saluable service for the community.
