A good kind of underdrainage is
a trench to go along under the
side drain and about three feet |
deep and a foot and one-half |
wide. In this trench a pipe is
laid near the bottom and covered |
with loose stones no bigger than
an egg. When the trench is
completely filled with loose stones
the ground water, instead Of
soaking into the roadway, will
stop among the stones and flow
down the hill through the pipe.
To keep a road smooth and |
crowned the best method is to
drag it with a road drag. A road
drag is made easily with two
halves of a log which has been
split. The log should be about 6
or 8 inches in thickness and about
6 or 8 feet long. The two halves
of the log are set 3 feet apart |
with the smooth faces forward |
and upright. They are then fas-
tened together with braces set in
holes bored through the log. A
pair of horses may be used to
drag the road and are hitched to
chain fastened to the front half
of the log. The road drag should
move forward so that it slants
across the road in such a way
that a small amount of earth will
slide past the smooth face of the
log toward the center of the road,
thus forming the crown. The
edges of the logs will smooth out.
the ruts. The best way to drag
is to begin at the side ditch and
go up one side of the road, and
then down the other. In the
next trip the drag should be
started a little nearer the center
and the last trip over the road
the drag may work close to the
center itself. Small ridges of
earth will be thrown in the horse
track and smeared by the round
side of the log smoothly over the
road. The smearing of the earth
by the drag is called pudding"
and it tends to make the surface
of the road smooth and water
tight after the sun comes out,
The road is always dragged after
it has rained and not when it is
dry. A good, strong pair of
horses with a well-built drag
can drag about 3 or 4 miles of
road in a day, and it is the best
way to maintain good roads. In
every county some farmer along
every 3 or A miles of road should
own a drag and drag the road
when it rains. He would always
find the road in good condition
when he goes to market.
Owing to the fact that many
rural schools were closed at the
time when the prize maintenance
essay was announced by Director
Logan Waller Page, of the Office
of Public Roads, it has been de-
cided to extend the limit for re-
ceiving the essays to October Is,
1918. In addition to the gold
medal offered as first prize, two
silver medals will be offered as
second and third prizes. If al
child who has submitted one es-
say previous to the issue of this
notice should care to try again,
he is at liberty to do so, but he
must be pupil of rural school.
There is some misunderstanding
in regard to the subject of the
essay. The idea is to set the
children thinking how to better
their earth roads with the mater
ial they have at hand.

He was chosen as one of the delegates
to the memorable convention at Wheel

with the formation of the State OF
West Virginia. Mr.. Brown, just prior

duty in this regard with credit to him
self and all concerned.
While completing arrangements to
join the Union forces during this same
