Operation OF the Drug.
Drags arc often constructed Of
i!anHs instead OF logs. The planl:
'hould be strengthened along the mid
die live by q two by six-inch strip. 4
triangular strip MAJ be used under the
lower edge Of the blade to give it the
proper cutting slope
The successful operation OF the dra =
involves two principles, which. when
thoroughly understood and Intelligent
~ applied make road working with
this implement very simple. Tn. frst
concerns the length and position of the
Hltch, while the second deals with the
position Of the driver on the drag. For
ordinary purposes the snatch link or
c!ev!s should be fastened far enough
toward the blade end of the chain to
force the un!oadcd drag to follow Tho
team IT an angle OF forty-fve degrees
rms VII! cause the earth 10 move along
Inc face OF the drag smoothly and will
give comparatively light draft 10 tho
team, provided the driver rides In the
line OF draft.
Il small! weeds are TO be cut or a fur
row OF earth is to he moved. the double
tree should be attached rather close to
Inc ditch end Of the drag. The drag
VIII nov move nearly ditch end fore
!H"Ht, and the driver should stand with
one loot on the extreme forward end
or the front slab. This will swing the
drag back 10 thu proper angle and will
cause the blade TO pillow. The hitch re-
quires slow ana careful driving in or
der To prevent the drag from tipping

deeply, the driver should shift his
weight toward the back slab II straw
ana weeds clog the blade. they can
usually he removed If the driver Shifts
his weight 10 point as far rs possible
from the ditch or blade end
Usually TWO horses are enough to pull
a drag over an ordinary sand-clay
road When four horses are used they
should be hitchcd 10 the drag by
means OF a four-horse evener The
team should be driven with one horse

The object Of this treatment Is 10 move

Many miles Of tho sand clay roads

But what OF The split-log drag?
There arc several kinds but tho two
slab and plank drags have proven the
most satisfactory. Double drags Tor
working BOTH sides OF the roadway
simultaneously have been tried with
only limited success. The reason for
this is that both sides of an earth road
are never exactly alike. This causes
the two parts Of the drag to work un-
evenly and to interfere with each other.
and therefore. II is q mistake TO CON
struct double barrcled. heavy drag.

the bumper" crops of the country are
being harvested. Everywhere barns
and bins are grooming under their pre-
cious burdens, and there's plenty for
everybody everywhere.
To-day. when experts in the Depart
ment of Agriculture were asked for
statistics. ii was said:
The information gathered by the
bureau November / justifes the pre-
lirilary estimate OF a yield OF TWEEN
ty-thrcc bushels OF corn per acre on
the planted area OF los. $4,000 acres
which indicates total production OF
2.i63ol 1000 bushels. which. while ap-
proXimately G60000,000 bushels less
than last years record crop and the
lowest since 1903. is but $4,000 900
bushels less than tho short crop of
1911. The yield per acre is c. bushels
less than last year. 90 less than 1911.
and the lowest since 1901, when 1t
touched 1871. the record low yield.
y gratifying development is the in
creased yields over prospects n month
ago, reported quite generally for the
main corn belt outside the seriously
districts and reflect
ed In the substantial gain Of about 90, :
100000 bushels over the production In
dictated October 1.
While the present production, COM
pared with that OF last year, Is only
about one-seventh In Kansas. slightly
over half in Missouri and Oklahoma,
nearly two-thirds in Nebraska. Illinois
and Kentucky, and four iifths in Iowa,
Ohio and Tennessee, farther north In
the Central States and throughout the
