A split-log drag or some similar de-
vice is very useful in maintaining the
surface after suitable bitches and cross
section have once been secured. This
drag can also be used to advantage on
a gravel road as well as on an earth
road. The principle involved in drag
ging is that clays and most heavy
soils will puddle when wet and set
very hard when dry. The little atten-
ton that the earth road needs must
be given promtly and at the proper
time If the best results are 10 be OBJ

IMPORTANCE OF ROAD MAlNTEN.
ANCE AND REPAIR

There is no phase of the road prob
lem more important than that of main
tenance. The general impression that
there are certain types of roads that
are permanent is erroneous. No per
manent road has ever been construct.
ed, or ever will be according to the
road specialist of the department. The
only things about a road that may be
considered permanent are the grading,
%culverts, and bridges. Roads con
structed by the most skillful high
way engineers will soon be destroy
ed by the traffic, frost, rain and wind,
unless they are properly maintained.
But the life of these roads may be
prolonged by systematic maintenance.
A poor road will not only be improved
by proper maintenance, but may be
come better in time than a good road
without 1t.
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 distractions removed, and a
smooth crown maintained. Except for
very stony soil the road machine or
scraper may be used very effectively
for this work. The machine should be
used once or twice a year, and the
work should be done when the soil is
damp, so that it 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 re-
paired 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 500 turn
to dust or mud, and for hat reason
roads should never be worked when
dry or hard. Bowlders or loose stones
are equally Objectionable if a smooth
surface is to be secured.
