ROAD MAINTENANCE
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
GIVES INSTRUCTION IN KEEP
ING ROADS IN REPAIR.

Washington, July 21.-There Is no
phase of the road problem more i'm
portant than that of maintenance.
The general impression that there
are certain types of roads that are
permanent is erroneous. No perma-
nent road has ever been constructed,
or ever will be, according to the road
specialists of the u. S. department of
agriculture. The only things about
a road that may be considered perma-
nent are the grading, c~ulyerts and
bridges. Roads constructed by the
most skillful highway engineers will
soon be destroyed by the traffic, frost
rain and wind. unless they are prop
.erly maintained. But the life of
these roads may be prolonged by sys-
tematic maintenance. A poor road
will not only be improved by proper
maintenance, but may become better
in time than a good road without it.
The first and last commandment in
earth road maintenance is to keep
the surface well drained. To insure
good drainage the bitches should be
Kept open, all Instructions removed
and a smooth crown maintained. Ex-
cept for very stony soil the road ma

effectively for this work. The ma
chine should be used nee or twice
a year and the work should be done
when the soil is damp so that ii will
pack and bake into a hard crust.
Wide and shallow side bitches should
be maintained with sufficient fall and
capacity to dispose of surface water.
These bitches can in most places be
constructed and repaired with a road
machine.
All vegetable matter such as sods
and weeds should be kept out Of the
road as they make a spongy surface
which retains moisture. Clods are
also Objectionable for they soon turn
to dust or mud and for that reason
roads should never be worked when
dry or hard. Boulders or loose stones
are equally objectionable if a smooth
surface is to be secured.
A split-log drag Or some similar
device is very useful in maintaining
the surface after suitable bitches and
cross sections have once been secur-
ed. This drag can also be used to
advantage on a gravel road as well
as on an earth road. The principle
involved in dragging is that elays and
most heavy soils will puddle when
wet and set very hard when dry. The
little attention that the earth read
needs must be given promptly and at
the proper time if the best results
are to be obtained.
In dragging roads only a small
amount of earth is moved, just
enough to fill the ruts and depres-
sions with a thin layer of plastic clay
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1914-07-22

or earth which packs very hard SO
that the next rain instead of finding
ruts, depressions and clods in which
to collect, runs off leaving the surface
but little affected.
The drag should be light and
should be drawn over the road at an
angle of about as degrees. The
driver should ride on the drag and
should not drive faster than a walk.
One round trip, each trip straddling
a wheel track, is usually sufficient to
fill the ruts and smooth the surface.
Ii necessary the road should be drag
ged after every bad spell of weather,
when the soil is in proper condition
to puddle well and still not adhere to
the drag. If the road is very bad 1t
may be dragged when very wet and
again when il begins TO dry out. A
few trips over the road will give the
operator an idea .as to the best time
to drag. Drag at all seasons, but do
not drag a dry road
The slope or crown Of an earth
road should be about one inch to the
foot. LII the crown becomes too
high IL may be reduced by dragging
toward the ditch instead of from it.
If the drag cuts too much, shorten
the hitch and change your position on
the drag. If il is necessary to pro-
tect the face OF the drag with a strip
of iron, 1T should be placed flush with
the edge of the drag and not pro-
jecting. A cutting edge should be
avoided as the main object in drag
ging is to smear the damp soil into
position.

"O1e of the most important factors
in the success of these chautauQuas
for farmers is that none Of them was
held in a town or city, no matter how
small and rural in its tendencies.
Every one Of them was out in the
country, and far out in the country.
In fact, the last 4 which closed its
session early in October, was 6h
miles from any town; and all of the
others were from 8 to ~ miles out
