difficult one. we'll remember
when youth of fourteen years
merely large enough. to drive
our tee III of old steady mares,
it was my privilege to do the
work and pay our road tax.
This work was a great delight
to me at that time because
usually the neighbor boys of
my age worked with me with
an equally efficient team of old
plug horses. As l recall the
roadboss occupied his exalted
position on a spring seat in the
shade of a large cottonwood the
greater share of the time.
Nevertheless we were there on
time, unhitched at the proper
time and drew the full wage of
team and teamster. We didn't
believe in it but others did that
way. +.
"As far as l am able to learn
there is no law in North Dakota
especially for the benefit of road
dragging. The office of public
roads recommends the patrol
system combining dragging.
The Nebraska legislature pass
ed law to 60 into effect on
August 1, 1918. This is not
unlike the patrol system. The
substance of this law is as
follows:
The greater roads in each
county are to be divided into
road dragging districts by the
county boards. One person in
each township is to be appoint
ed superintendent of dragging
and is to re ceive not more than
So. 80 per day.
Roads shall be dragged
whenever necessary and all the
sections of the highway shall
be dragged at once. County
boards may levy a tax of not to
exceed one mill for road drag
ging. Where four horses are
used on an eight-foot drag the
rate of payment is 75c for each
mile of highway dragged both
ways. Where a seven-foot drag
and two or three horses are
used. 6Oc is the prescribed rate.
On rocky highways OF stretches
of road that cannot be irnprov-
ed by dragging the county
boards are not required to put
the act into effect"

G. F. Chase, professor agri-
cultural engineering, North
Dakota agricultural college: At
the home farm in southern
Nebraska there is a stretch of
road one-half mile in len 9Th
that we have dragged for seven
years. Only once during this
period has this road been work
ed with anything but the drag.
Two years ago the side bitches
were cleaned with the COM
mon road grader.
A careful record of the time
taken to keep this road dragged
has been kept and for the first
Ave years it rune as follows:
Two trips for one man and one
team requiring one hours time
for a single dragging is the
basis taken. The first year we
dragged it ID times, the second
l3; the third II. the fourth IL.
and the fifth IA times or II
draggings of one hours time
during five years. This at 3Oc
an hour for man and team, is

So % annual cost Of mainten-
ance. Another road in the
immediate vicinity cost less
than 80 per mile annually.
The soil is not quite IA heavy
as Red River soil but the rain
fall is a little more than thirty
inches. A case is noted in
Public Roads Bulletin 48. u.
S. department. of agriculture
where the cost of similar main.
tenance of roads in Arkansas
WAS $11 per mile. State En-
gineer Gearhart of Kansas puts
the range of cost for dragging
at from $4.U to $1,000.
The cost for North Dakota
should not be over $1,000 per
mile. while in most cases it
would be much less, the cost
depending upon the character
of the soil, the rainfall, traffic
and grade. As an average for
all dirt roads | would place the
annual cost Of maintenance at
81. 50 per mile or $3.50, 74O to
drag in a satisfactory manner

year.
The total expenditure on
public roads Of North Dakota
outside Of towns il 1911 was
$601, $40. If properly organized
and if the people were educat-
ed we could properly maintain

Many Deer and Turkeys.

Mountain Home, Sept. 15.-
Deer and turkey hunters are be-
ginning to take advantage of the
open season, and some very good
bags are being killed. Cicero
Martin and Tol Galloway of Nc
Phearson in Baxter county, each
bagged a deer Saturday in the
Leatherwood mountains, on the
south side of White river. Clyde
Johnson Of the same place killed
half a dozen fine wild turkeys.
The outlook for game this
year is good as the season was
dry. Quite a few deer are re-
ported in the Leatherwoods, and
they will likely increase in num-
Der, as there is a big bitter mast
that attracts them. Quail are
plentiful and a good many tur-
keys are in the hills.
