State Highway Engineer T. Fl. Mac
Donald is urging Iowa roadmakers to
plow the sod at one side OF the
township and county highways which
are to be either permanently graded
or crowned with the blade grader
next season. By blowing the sod now
it will give plenty OF time for it to
rot and disintegrate before the work
is started next spring. Where this is
done it will do away entirely with
the expensive work of buryfng the
sod when the crowninG is done next
season 1t is not necessary to pillow
deep burrows. in fact, the shallower
the better. so long as the plow share
cuts beneath the sod crust. A disk
run over the blowing will help, but it
is not necessary.
