1t will be many years before tn,
earth road will be in the minority, ant
and in many places it will neither be
economical nor will the taxable re
sources justify the construction Of
a higher type.
The earth road has often been
maintained by the most ignorant men
in fact, it has not been maintained
at all. II has been generally believed
that it would take care of itself, re.
quiring no work except, perhaps, the
cutting away Of bushes and possibly
shaping with a road machine in the
spring to give it better drainage to
the side bitches | know of no other
type that has been so abused or has
received the careless and inefficient
maintenance to which the. earth road
has been subjected. There is no type
upon which so much money is being
wasted as the earth road, primarily
through ignorance and neglect
have seen instances where a soft
place existed in hollow badly under
drained. Year after year a large
amount Of stone was hauled to this
place and dumped on it, where it
disappeared by the close OF Spring.
Nevertheless this procedure would be
steadily adhered to every successive
year until the stone finally formed a
compact mass. But the moisture in
the earth made a mudhole at each
end, and the same performance had
to be repeated at each end the next
year until a large quantity Of stone
finally displaced the mud This is ex-
pensive road building.
Earth roads should be worked in
the early spring. If the roadbed is
rutted, in bad condition, an fiat. with
out the proper cross-section, it should
be plowed from gutter to gutter, shap-
ed with a road machine until it has
the proper cross-section, and then
kept constantly dragged until it Is
properly consolidated. After the road
has been given this attention, then
with constant care, it can be kept in
good condition until the freezing and
thawing are at hand, when it is nee
essary to dig it up again just as soon
as the frost leaves the ground
In maintaining earth roads we find
that after the road has been properly
haped, the bitches opened, and the
road given the proper cross-sectiOn, a
patrolman with a split log drag can
keep from five to eight miles in good
condition for at least ten months in
the year The patrolman drags the
