Spring THE PROPER time
TO WORK The ROADS

1t is great mistake to put off work
ing roads until August or September,
according to road experts of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
The roads should be worked when the
soil is damp so as TO make the soil
bake when 1t dries out. If the roads
are worked when they are dry, it
takes more power to draw the ma
chine and besides dry earth and dust
retain moisture and quickly rut after
rains. The use of clods, sods, weeds
or vegetable matters in building earth
roads should be aoided because they
also retain moisture.
II the working of the roads is de-
ferred until the latter part of the
summer when the surface is baked
and hard, they are not only difficult
to work, but the work is unsatisfac-
tory when done. Earth which is loose
and dry will remain dusty as long as
the dry weather lasts, and then turn
to mud as the rains begin BY using
the road machine in the spring while
the soil is soft and damp, the surface
is more easily shaped and soon packs
| down into a dry hard crust which is
less liable to become dusty in sommer
and muddy in winter.
Repairs to roads should be made
when needed and not once year aft
er crops are laid by. Because of Its
simplicity, efficiency and cheapness
the split-log drag or some similar de
ice Is destined to come into more and
more general use. With the drag
properly built and it's use well under
stood, the maintenance of earth ant
gravel roads become simple and in
expensive matter. Care should be TAX

the drag is dry cedar log, thougl
elm, walnut, box elder or soft mapl
are excellent. Oak, hickory or ash ar
too heavy. The log should be fror
seven to ten feet long, and eight q
ten inches in diameter. 1t should b
split carefully as near the center a
possible and the heaviest and bes
| slab chosen for the front. When tn
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1914-02-06

soil Is moist, but not sticky, the drag
does the best work. AS the soil in the
field will bake If plowed wet, so the
road will bake IL the drag is used on
it when it is wet. If the roadway is
full of holes or badly rutted the drag
should be used once when the road is
soft and slushy.
The earth road can best be crowned
and ditched with road machine and
not with picks and shovels, scoops and
plows. One road machine with a suit
able power and operator will do the
work of many men with picks and
shovels and in addition will do it bet
ter If the road is composed of fine
clay or soil it will sometimes pay to
resurface it with top soil from an ada
cent field, which has sand or gravel
mixed with it. This method, called
the top soil method" is now in sue
cessful use in Clake county, Georgia.
Storm water should be disposed of
quickly before 1t has had time to pene-
trate deeply into the surface of the
road. This can be done by giving the
| road a crown or slope from the center
to the sides. For an earth road which
is "a feet wide the center should be not
less than six inches nor more than IL
inches higher than the outer edges of
the shoulder. The narrow road which
| is high in the middle will become rut-
ted almost as quickly as one which is
too fiat for the reason that on mar
row road all the traffic is forced to use
only narrow strip. Shoulders are
often formed on both sides Of the road
which prevents storm water from flow
ing into the side bitches, retaining 1t In
the ruts and softening the roadway
These ruts and shoulders can be en-
i tirely eliminated with the road ma
chine or slit-log drag.
The width Of the earth road will de
pend on the traffic AS rule, 25 ol
: cient If the road Is properly crowned
Ordinarily the only bitches needed are
those made with the road machine
, which are wide and shallow. Deel
| bitches wash rapidly, especially oil
, steep slopes. The earth road shoult
, not be loosened, dug up, or plowed III
; any more than is absolutely necessary
1t should be gradually raised, not low
, cred, hardened, nor softened.
