OF CRAWLING ROAD
Problem Of Crawling Highways at
Moderate Cost Solved by Commits
slener RheInhardt Of Idaho.

Evidently Otto Rheinhardt, commits
sioner OF the Nampa highway district,
Canyon county, Idaho. has solved the
problem Of graveling the highways at
moderate cost, writes E. F. Stephens
in Denver Field and Farm. Three
years ago he decided to gravel the dis
trict's share Of the boulevard between
Nampa and Caldwell. A half mile
away. Indian creek runs parallel with
this boulevard and there an abundant
supply Of gravel was procured. Fortu-
nately the very heavy trafac incident
to hauling rails and ties for the In
terurban electric line track cut through
the gravel, mixing the underlying soil
with the supenmposed gravel in suit
able proportions for cementing q hrm,
smooth roadbed. A percentage OF clay
smooth or volcanic ash soil mixed with
gravel makes a hard. smooth roadbed
not likely to absorb the rainfall. The
result on the boulevard has been to
secure a very serviceable roadbed
highly commended by local and United
States engineers-
Under the Inspiration Of this sue
cessful roadbed a neighborhood lying

FIGURE COST OF BAD ROADS
Hauling Produce More Expensive
Here Than in European Countries
Total Haulaee Expense.

American farmers have begun to
figure the matter Of roads a little diff
ferentIy than IN former years" says
President Claude S. Briggs Of the
Briggs=Detroiter company OF Detroit.
when the good.roads movement was
IN its infancy they used to ask them
selves How much will good roads
cost me?' Thanks to the intelligent
propaganda OF the daily and farm pa
pers as well as other agencies farm
ers are now asking themselves How
much r bad roads costing me?'
According to government experts
the cost Of hauling a ton OF farm prod.
nee a mile varies from seventeen
cents In localities where fairly hard
gravel roads exist to thirty-fve cents
q ton in parts of the country where
the roads are In poor condition. On
the other hand, in those European
countries where hard roads prevail
the cost is as low as nine cents a ton
q mile. The department Of a~gricul-
ture has estimated that the total haul.

10 the west. called Orchard avenue, de-
cided to gravel on tho following plan:
The farmers 10 donate the use OF
teams and wagons with dump boards.
The Nampa highway district to provide
gravel. usually donated by those who
have it, pay the shovclers and a man
to help dump the leads and also spread
and smootn the gravel on the road
bed, using for this purpose a King
drag. The freshly gTaveled roadbed
should be smootled with a King drag
or other implement weekly for two
months or until settled and cemented
with the underlying soil. Four inches
OF gravel in the middle Of the roadbed
with two inches IN the sides most
readily mixes with the underlying soil
in such proportions as to shed rain
and form a smooth, solid bed. Heavy
traffic cuts through the gravel in wei
weather until enough underlying soil
has been mixed and cemented with
the gravel to she'd rain and create a
solid roadbed.
A moderate percentage OF clay SOL
mixed with the gravel as applied will
pack and cement from the beginning.
The clay gravel banks along the re-
clamation bitches piled by the dredges
supply ideal material for graveling our
roads. This mixture Of clay, SAND
and gravel packs from the very hrst
and does not need underlying soil cut
in by heavy traffic. Coarse gravel
free from clay or soil. will need an ad'
mixture OF soil from below to secure a
hard. smooth rcadbed. Orchard ave
nue. has now been graveled two years.
It's success from the start has been
such as to attract the attention OF 9TH
er neighborhoods.

D BETTER HIGHWA VS.
IMPETUS TO ROAD BUILDING
Secret Of Maintaining Country High
way Lies In Keeping It Well
Rounded Up and Drained.

Over a good road, We can haul prod.
tets to market at any season OF the
year and get full benefit OF the highest
prices. It is a simple matter to build
a good country road. as It is not abso-
lutely necessary that It should be

secret Of the maintaining Of the COM

A good dirt road well maintained is
not an expensive proposition, writes

SLOW IN TAKING ADVANTAGE
Certain Loss Due to Bad Roads Made
Apparent When Shedding Is Good
During Winter.

The heavy SHOWS and excellent sled
ding serve to emphasize what might
be accomplished II good roads pre-
vailed all over the country. Farmers
canstake their hobs and put on twice
as heavy loads as is possible at other
times. It is not argued. Of course.
that with roads as smooth as a dance
haH floor the teams could pull on
wheeled vehicles the loads they do
now on hobs. But there is a certain
loss due to bad roads that is made
all the more apparent by the Ease
With which transportation is made
when the shedding is good. says South
Bond Tribune. And to think that for
all these years nature has been show
ing us the advantage Of good roads
and We have been SO slow to take the
mint! It should make US ashamed OF
our blindness and stupidity.

ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS
No Factor Contributes More to Pros
perIty and Happiness Of the Rural
Communities.

The convention Of the Virginia Road
Builders association draws attention
to a subject Of prime importance to
the people Of this state. Scarcely any
single factor contributes more to the
prosperity and happiness Of rural
communities than good roads, says
the Richmond Dispatch. Good
roads mean easy and quick conmuni-
cation, economy in transporting farm
products to railway or market. con-
venient access to the outside world,
and a higher average Of citizenship.
wherever they are found. Virginia
has done much of recent years to
make its highways measurably equal
TO those Of most other southern states,
but much remains to be done. The
people as q whole must be educated
to a proper understanding Of the eco
nomic and sociological benefits that
good roads confer.

ATTENTION TO BRIDGES
Greatest Menace to Tractor Which
Gould Be Put to More Use on Many
Of the Small Farms.

We will never be able to readily
make much use Of the gas or steam
tractor on the farms until we make up
our minds to pay more attention to our
roads and bridges. Especially the
bridges. They are the greatest men
ance to the tractor and the tractors
driver, and there has been little i'm
provement in the type OF bridges since
the engine was put to work on the
farms. writes William E. Rose Of Iowa
in Farm Progress.
1t is rather strange that We are will
ing to use the traction engine to pull
our road plows and our road graders
and still refuse to build bridges and
culverts strong enough to allow the
same engine to pass in safety when
pulling a threshing outfit or a train OF
farm wagons. But It is the truth, new
ertheless.
In spite Of all the possibilities of the
tractor. or the old.fashioned traction
engine, a lot Of people look upon 1t as
an ugly %contraption that ruins road
surfaces, smashes culverts. breaks
down bridges. scares horses and sets
FIRE to meadows and rail fences.
1t is altogether wrong. We could
make splendid use Of the tractor on
any and all farms OF more than eighty
acres. Some day We will make these
engines do much Of the work, the
heavy hauling done by horse teams,
and we will save money by SO doing.
But that time will not come until We
have better roads. And that cannot
comes to pass until We get a better su-
pervision Of road building than we
have at present.
In many states the traction driver
who crosses a bridge takes a chance
not only of injury to himself and his
expensive engine. but also assumes the
liability Of having to repair the bridge
II he breaks it down. Such laws dis
courage the use Of ractors as much
as they do better road building. The
bridges are the worst feature of this
condition.
The tractor has a right to use the
public highways. 1t has just as much
right 10 the public road as the heavy
automobile. the overloaded farm wag-
on or any other heavy conveyance.
The men who build such engines and
the men who would like to OWN and
use them should insist that these ma
chimes be given that right. No n
dreams of forcing the automobile OF
the public highways now. and the over
loaded farm wagon has used the public

FOUNDATION FOR GOOD ROAD
FRS. Thing Road Builder Should
Strive For Is to Have Grouno- 3
work Good and Solid.

BY f, W. HOUSE. Colorado Agricultural
College,
The good roads movement In Colo
RADIO seems now to have acquired null
swing and the next ten years VIII see
most OF our important roads surfaced
with gravel. 1t is important that this
gravel be placed upon a good founoa-
ton or It will be mixed with the Gay
and lost.
Some time ago an important road
was being surfaced and those IN
charge we're blowing up the old road
which was very hard, the Jumps were
being broken as much as possible,
then the road was given a light roll
ing, wet thoroughly and the grayeI
then spread and rolled. When asked
why they we're putting the gravel on
the soft mud foundation, the reply
came. so that 1t will knit well with
the clay" This is exactly what shoua
be guarded against as much as posi-
BILE and Is the very thing road builders
should seek to avoid.
Let US remember that gravel WIN
knit or mix with the clay below in
spite OF all we can do, but the harder
the clay foundation surface is and tne
firmer it is compacted. the longer win
the gravel stay on top and give 9
smooth wearing surface and the long
er the road will last.
All authorities are agreed on THIS
point, and the first thing that . road
builder should strive for Is to have his
earth foundation solid and hard and
the drainage so fixed that It wiz re-
