its greatest help is to lower the wat
er level in the soil.
The action of the sun and wind Will
finally dry the surface of the road but
If the foundation is wet and soft the
wheels will wear ruts and these get
filled with water during the first rains
and the road becomes a sticky mass.
And undrained soil is a poor foun-
dalton upon which to build roads as
well as anything else. When frost
is leaving the ground the thawing is
quite as much from the bottom as
from the top. If underdrainage is
provided the water is Immediately re-
moved.
The best and cheapest method to
secure undertakings is to lay line
of farm drain tile on one or both sides
of the road. The new road law gives
the highway commissioners power to
contract with adjoining property own
ers to lay larger tile than is neces-
sary to drain the road and to permit
the contracting parties to drain their
lands. This helps the roads and at
the same time is a great benefit to
the adjoining land.
Side bitches are necessary to all
roads but no road can be maintained
with the ditch holding the water un-
til it evaporates. In most cases it is
cheaper to get the water away from
the road than to try to lift the road
out of it,
Sometimes roads on the hillsides
are left without side bitches. This is
a mistake, for if any road needs a
ditch it is the one on a hillside, for
where there are no bitches the water
runs along the middle of the road
and wears gullies and as we all know,
makes bad road.
The roads should be so crowned
that water can reach the tile or
bitches. If all ruts and mudholes are
filled, the water will have a better
chance to run off. There are several
machines made to keep the roads in
shape and these need to be used often
and at the right time. 1t is not nee
essary to spend half a day in trying
to get hold of road commissioner to
help open a culvert or let the water
out of a hole in the road. Better
spend the time in doing it yourself
and you will feel better and your
neighbor will thank you.
