The motor car dealers rather en-

People begin to get the fever for mo-

Editorial i'm Kansas Farmer
Boosts Good Roads.
Urges Use of Drags for Early
Spring Days.
OLD SOL ON THE JOB
Dealers Pleased With Appear
ance of Warm Weather.
Sparks and Spitters of Interest
to Auto Fans.

The campaign for good roads mas no
better supporter than the Kansas
Farmer. The following editorial. writ
ten by G. O. Wheeler, live stock eol-
tor, appeared In the magazine III q
cent issue: 1e+a
The timely use of the drag is now
most important. Even roads that hao
been well dragged and graded are bad
ly rutted and unless carefully gone
over with drags as soon as condltions
are right these good roads OF last
year will be long time wearing
smooth Even though the roads nave
been worse than for years, the results
of good road work can be noted. A
Kansas Farmer reader VINO cropped
in a few days ago reported that the
we'll dragged roads were becoming
reasonably passable. He also reported
the road drags at work along his road.
1t is this spirit of up and at 1T again
that counts in road Improvement as
in everything else worth while.
Three years ago we had excessive
amounts of snow in February and
March. Some of our long-headed good
roads men conceived the idea of re-
versing the road drag and using 1t TO
clean the snow from the Travelled
track. The beneficial results from this
operation were soon apparent. me
portion of the road from when the
snow was removed dried quickly. while
the melting of the snow made the rest
of the road mire of mud.
We observed this use of the drag
IOF TOduS OI SHOW 1Ol1OW1HS a
heavy snowfall in December. of the
past winter. Perhaps this idea has
been generally applied. To farmer
struggling through almost impossible
roads, as depicted on our front page
of last week, a stretch of dry and rea-
sonably smooth road would seem like
an oasis in desert. Such an ex-
perience ought to make a good roads
booster of the most Indifferent man.
Let us hope no effort will be spared
to do the necessary dragging before
the rush of spring work is on.
