State Takes Over
Yakima Fair

EHE FIRST definite plans for the
:, Washington State Fair next fall
were made at conference Of Governor
Lister with members of the state ad.
visory board, the advisory committee OF
North Yakima men and Dr.. h. Il
Graves, acting commissioner OF agricui'
ture.
Following a resolution unanimously
passed Governor Lister offered the posi-
tion Of state fair secretary to >. u.
Shannon, of North Yakima.
Special days are to be arranged, the
premium list is to be pruned OF excess
items, including third prizes, but the
premiums in agriculture, horticulture
and stock departments will not be re-
dnced. Governor Lister stated to the
meeting that the department OF agricui'
ture would assume all responsibility for
the fair, which will cost about $4,000.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-05-07

mum velocity for 12-inch tile on a
grade of l inch per 100 feet equals II
feet per second or about t miles per
hour, and for the same tile on grade
of 36 inches to the 100 feet the velocity
would be u feet per second or about
5 1-6 miles per hour. The discharge for
the 12-inch tile in the first instance
would be 442 gallons per minute, and
for the sleeper grade 1850 gallons per
minute or about fixs times as much.
By increasing the fall, we increase
the capacity Of the pipe, decrease the
size of the pipe necessary, and there
fore decrease the cost Of the culverts.
Furthermore, culverts laid flat will soon
fill up, but if given good fall they
will keep themselves clear.
If much fall is obtained in aculvert
pipe, the spillway should be paved.
Earth should be tamped under and
around the pipe in layers, and should
be of sufficient depth to prevent the
pipe from being broken by traffic; but
under no circumstances should ridge
over the culvert be allowed, for 1t not
If much fall is obtained in culvert
but is menace to traffic.
Repair Only When Needed.
An attempt to drain mud holes with
culvert pipe will fail in most cases.
The water should be drained off by
means Of open bitches; the soft mud
thrown out and replaced with just
enough good, firm earth to make it level
(after consolidation) with the surround
ing surface. If mud holes in earth
roads are filled with brush or stone,
it will usually result in two mud holes,
one at each end.
Repairs to roads should be made
when needed, and not once year after
crops are "laid BY" One days labor,
|judiciously distributed throughout the
year, will accomplish more and better
work in the maintenance Of an earth
road than the same amount Of labor
Expended in six days, especially If the
six days are in August, September OF
October, when the ground is hard and
dry.
Because Of its simplicity, its eff
cheney and cheapness, the split-log drag
or some similar device is destined tc
! Gonna into mora and more general use
With the drag properly built and its
use well understood, the maintenance Of
earth and gravel roads becomes simple
and inexpensive matter. Care should b.
taken to make the log so light that one
man can lift 1t with ease, as a light
drag can be drawn by two medium
sized horses and responds more readily
to various methods Of hitching sal
! shifting positions Of the operator thai
heavier one.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-05-07

retaining it in the ruts and softening
the roadway. These ruts and shoulders
can be entirely eliminated with the road
machine or split-log drag.
Ordinarily, the only bitches needed
are those made with the road machine,
which are wide and shallow. Deep,
narrow bitches wash rapidly, especially
on steep slopes, which is another good
reason for decreasing the steepness of
the grades. It is difficult to maintain
an earth road, or any kind Of road for
that matter, on steep grade.
The width of the earth road will de-
pend on the traffic. As a rule, rs or
30 feet from ditch to ditch is sufficient,
if the road is properly crowned A road
that is narrower than 25 feet is diff
cult to maintain for the above stated
reason that on narrow roads the teams
are more apt to track than on a wider
road, causing it to rut if subjected to
heavy hauling.
The road should not be loosened, dug,
or plowed up any more than is absolute
ly necessary. The road should be gradu-
ally raised, not lowered; hardened, not
softened.
Prevent Washing Out.
On flat lands, where water moves
slowly, grading material should be
taken from the lower ditch and culverts
supplied where waterways occur. A
shallow ditch on the upper side makes
it possible to give culverts good fall.
Two or more small pipes, instead Of one
large one of equal capacity, may be
used for culverts, especially if the large
pipe necessitates much grading or rails
ing of the roadway. At least six inches
should be left between each pipe and
earth should be tamped around them
thoroughly SO as to prevent wasohut.
To prevent washing on steep roads,
the water should be carried under the
surface at frequent intervals from the
upper to the lower side, and from the
lower side away from the road. Five
12-inch pipes in mile of roadway is
about as cheap and far better than one
24-inch pipe. The water must be dis
posed of before it gains force or head
. way, or has time to damage the road.
The maximum velocity for 24.incl
vitrified tile flowing full without head
on grade Of 2 inches per hundred feet
is 1876 feet per second, or about q
miles per hour. When the grade is in
creased to 36 inches in 100 feet, tht
velocity becomes 20 feet per second, Of
about 134 miles per hour. The discharge
for the 24-inch pipe in the first instance
will be 5,oS6 gallons per minute and fol
the sleeper grade 2S,26O gallons pc
minute. 1t will therefore be seen tina
24-inch pipe laid on grade Of 81
inches to the 100 feet will have owe
five times the capacity Of the sam,
size pipe laid on a grade Of l inch Il
, the 100 feet.
Flat Culverts Fill Up.

hS SOILS differ for agricultural pur-
~ noses On thev differ for roads.

MS SOILS differ for agricultural pur-
~ poses, so they differ for roads,
says the roads expert of the De-
partment of Agriculture. Clay or soils
of fine texture usually make poor roads,
especially if they contain much vege-
table matter. The coarser soils, how
ever. which contain some sand or gravel,
will often make very satisfactory roads
for light traffic, provided they are kept
in proper repair.
If the road is composed Of fine clay
or soil, it will sometimes pay to re-
surface it with top soil from an ad-
jacent field which has sand or gravel
mixed with it. This method, called the
top-soil method, is now in successful
use in Virginia, North Carolina and
Georgia, and probably other states.
The earth road can best be crowned
and ditched with a road machine, and
not with picks and shovels, scoops and
plows. One road machine, with suit
able power and operator, will do the
work of many men with picks and
shovels, and do it better.
Don't Put off Working.
The road machine should be used
when the soil is damp, so as to make
the soil bake when it dries out. If it
is worked dry, it takes more power to
draw the machine, and, besides, dry
earth and dust retain moisture and
quickly rut after rains. The use of
clods, sods, weeds or vegetable matter
in building earth roads should be avoid
ed because they also retain moisture.
1t is a great mistake to put the
working of the earth off until August
or September. The surface is then
baked dry and hard. It is not only diff.
ficult to work, but is unsatisfactory
work when done. Earth which is loose
and dry will remain dusty as long as
the dry weather lasts and then turn to
mud as soon as the rains begin. By
using the road machine in the spring
of the year while the soil is soft and
damp, the surface is more easily shaped
and soon packs down into dry, hare
crust, which is less liable to become
dusty in summer or muddy in winter.
Storm water should be disposed Of
quickly before it has time to penetrate
deeply into the surface. This can b.
done by giving the road "a crown o.
slope from the center to the sides. Fol
an earth road which is "a feet wild,
the center should be not less than 81,
inches nor more than 12 inches highe
than the outer edges of the shoulders
A narrow road which is too high in th
middle will become rutted almost a
quickly as one which is too flat for tn
reason that on the narrow road all th,
traffic is forced to use only a marrow
strip.
Don't Loosen or Plow.
Shoulders are often formed on botl
sides of the road which prevent storm
water from flowing into side ditches
