the year while the ground is moist and
in such condition that it will work
easily and at the same time pack well
under passing traffic. Considerable
skill and judgment is required TO use
road grader to the best advantage. An
unskilled and careless operator will
sometimes actually leave the road in
worse condition than when he began
work. Do not scape sod and refuse
into the road. Good earth 10 far better
as it will not decay nor absorb moisture
so readily. Do not be guilty of the
too common practice OF leaving a
the middle of your road to impede
traffic and absorb water at the FIRST
rain. Leave the roads smooth over the
entire surface and traffic will spread
and be less likely to produce ruts.
Always use the grader in such a way as
to make the road better and not worse
for the passing traffic.
When the road has been placed in
good condition as to crewn and smooth
ness the road drag is the best tool for
maintaining it in that condition. Drag
the road after each rain while the sur
face is still msist but not sticky. Use
a light drag and move only very little
earth-just sufficient to fill the ruts
and depressions and leave a slight sur
plus il the crown is low. Ride on the
drag and shift your position according
to the amount OF earth necessary to be
moved. II the rain has been of long
duration it may be advisable to drag
the road twice; first very soon after
the rain, and again when the clay is
drying out or beginning to set.
Do not drag dry road. Successful
dragging is dependent on a certain
amount of water or moisture in the
road surface. Practically all clays and
most soils, If not too sandy, will puddle
il worked when wet, and on drying out
will set very hard. The drag in con-
nectIon with traffic is essentially a
pudding machine, which, when prop
erly used, leaves the road sarface
crowned and covered with a smooth
layer Of puddled and densely packed
soil. This layer is as nearly impervi-
Gus to water as it is possible 10 make
it. Following rains find little or no
place for Judgement, as the water
quickly runs of to the side bitches
Unless the rain is long continued the
road surface is not softened TO any
great depth. The prompt use OF the
drag after each rain leaves the surface
smooth and ready to Withstand the
next storm.
Therefore, to make your road smooth
use road machine or grader to put il
in proper shape in the spring OF the
year. To keep your road smooth, use
the road drag judiciously after each
rain This will keep an earth oil
gravel road in the best shape in which
it is possible to maintain it throughout
the year.

HOW TO MAKE AND KEEP
THE ROADS SMOOTH.

The traffic on earth and gravel roads
has a constant tendency to develop
ruts, chuck holes. and depressions. The
chief aim and purpose of road main
tsnance IL to prevent and remedy this
destructive action. To be successful
and efficient, road maintenance must
be systematic and continuous. Hap
hazard work is expensive and unsatis-
factory.
II the road is very rough and uneven
or the crown very low the road machine
or grader is very efficient for placing
it in shape, One must guard against
the all too common practice OF scrap
ing the sod and other vegetable matter
and refuse from the sides and bitches
on to the road, In general, on the clay
and heavy soil roads all vegetable or
spongy material should be carefully
excluded. Such materials absorb
moisture readily and furnish but little
resistance against wear. The road
surface should be built up with the
best material possible-material which
will pack and consolidate under traffic
and will wear uniformly.
In general the road machine or
grader should be used in the spring OF

The above figures represents infor-
nation just now received by wire from
the government This somewhat CON
Ilrms predictions we made more than
two months ago, at time the govern
ment was estimating the crop for the
country 25,O00,O00 bushels more than
last year
We advised the growers in a bulle-

Will observe, however, thta they still

recent reports convince us that the

Moral Every grower who can
possibly arrange to do SO should store

OF higher prices later. Those who
cahnot make arrangements to store

Large Potatoes.
Inc demand for extra selected large

ROCKY FORD SUGAR FACTORY
Ceiepratlon OF Sixteenth Annual Open.
ing or Factory a Community Affair.

s. l.. a. It. I
Promptly at seven O'Clock Monda,
morning the big whistle at the loca
factory of the American Beet Suga,
company announced the fact that thu
sl4teenth annual campaign of the lac
.ory was starting. A few minutes
iater the wheels in the big mill begar
70 turn and once more the mammoth
industry which means business anC
prosperity to Rocky Ford and the en-.
tire Arkansas valley began its annual
task OF converting beets into sugar
every man was at his post: ever,
piece OF machinery was oiled and
ready for use; every screw and bolt
IN the immense factory was ready tC
do its full share of the work.
Indications are that the l9l5-191G
campaign will be record breaker for
the local factory Several hundred
tons Of beets have been delivered to
the bins and tests have proven that
the per cent OF sugar content comes
well up with the average of previous
years. Twenty thousand acres OF
sugar beets have been contracted by
the A. b. S. company in the Ar B S,
company in the Arkansas valley end
large majority of them will be
ground at the local mill The factory
at Las Animas will start next Monday,
October II, and will handle the beets
grown in that section Of the valley,
but the campaign will be several ,lays
81 '"tes than th;,. of the Rocky F,l 4
plant.
More than five hundred men began
work at the local factory today. About
,f r., ~.
employed on the day shift and two
hundred will work hte night shift.
The machinery will not be stopped
night or day for nearly four months
and several hundred employees will be
kept busy every minute of the time
Acreage Large This Year.
Twenty thousand acres of sugar
beets grown under contract for the
Beet Sugar company are
practically ready for the harvest.
More than two-thirds of this acreage
is grown In the immediate vicinity of
Rocky Ford and will he handled by
the local plant. Thousands OF. tons will
be delivered to the factory during the
next few days The acreage this year
is considerably larger than last, and
necessary to start the Las Animas
mill. The acreage this year is larger
than any year since the factory was
built, except in 1913, when about 22,-
300 acres were grown.
Capacity 1900 Tons.
The capacity of the local mill is
about 1900 tons a day and this
will be handled each day dur
ng the campaign. For the first few
lays the average may be little small
or, due to the fact that the beets will
be little green.
More than million and half dol
ars will be paid to growers and en-
ployes by the American Beet Sugar
during the next few months.
There will be two pay-days each
month, probably the 9Th and goth. The
average payday is about $25,000.
Most Of the factory employees are
Rocky Ford residents and the money
paid to them will be spent in Rocky
Ford Tribune
