GRAVEL TO SURFACE ROADS
ton Highways Should Last
for Several Yeara.

(By e. b. HOUSE, Colorado Experiment
Statton)
There has been much agitation dur
ing the past year concerning the sur
facing Of our principal roads and as
In many parts OF the state we find de-
posts OF gravel 1t seems that this 10
the material which may be economical
ly used A few words concerning the
construction OF these roads may not
be out Of place.
First Of all the construction should
be such that the gravel is confined and
held In position on the road. This 10
accomplished by 30 grading the earth
foundation that shoulders are formed
at the sides. The earth forming the
shoulders should be well compact and
solid, otherwise they will fail In the
function required Of them. Loose earth
thrown up from the ditch at the sides
OF the road will not answer the pur-
pose unless moistened and rolled with
a seven or ten-ton roller.
The whole surface Of the earth foun-
dalton should degraded 10 theTeQulreo
form and compact with the roller and
the gravel then spread in layer about
four inches thick. In the center and
two and one-half inches at the side
Enough sand OF loan Is then added to
make the gravel "biad" we'll this is
mixed with the gravel with harrow
and the layer is then sprinkled and
rolled until solid Another layer OF
gravel Is then spread over the first and
treated In the same way. The result
is a graveled surface is feet wide and
six inches thick at the center and three
and one-half inches thick at the sides.
and II the gravel Is OF good quality
this road with little attention should
last for years.

TREAT YOUR SEED
wheat FOR SMUT
insure Clean Seed BY Killing tho
Spores OF Sinking Smut With
Formaln.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

When a field Of smutted wheat Is
threshed, many of the smut balls
are broken and the sound grains are
covered with the smut dust. AS far
as is known, this is practically the
only way infection takes place to any
serious extent. This infection 10
especially serious when clean crop
is threshed with machine that has
lust threshed smutted crop.
Before treating your wheat for stink
ing smut, it is best to remove all un'
broken, smut balls. Since the smut
balls are much lighter than the sound
grain, thorough tanning will generally
do this. If tanning will not do it, the
grain should be poured into barrel
of cold water and thoroughly stirred
go that all the smut balls will come
to the surface where they can be
Skinned off.
