EFFICIENT FORCE IS NEEDED
Roads Should Be Looked After at All
Seasons of Year and Kept in
Constant Repair.

Under our present system of county
pike maintenance, roads have been
receiving a quantity of crushed stone
en- their most-traveled and WORKOUT
sections. This is usually applied
after grading and scraping of the
surface to fill the ruts. This grad
ing is a semiannual affair. The first
grading Is done in the early spring
just as the roads are thoroughly
thawed and beginning to dry after the
heaviest of the winter freezes are
safely over. Previous to this grading
they often become long lines of slushy
mud almost impossible to the heavier
loaded wagons. In such a condition
they are easily rutted and hard to
mend. 1t is the sort of impermanent
roads that have given rise to the ap-
peal for a permanent hard surfaced
road not so easily affected by the
freeze and thaws. We find crushed
stone superior to the older type of
gravel roads in many respects since
1t holds its shape and body longer,
says Indiana Farmer. Yet crushed
stone roads and even surfaced macad-
ans and concrete or asphalt surfaced
roads need attention after the first
