OF the matter. The fact is that just
above these seepy places where the
ruts are, there is a vein of hard clay
coming out, which the water cannot
readily penetrate. Hence it comes out
under the roadbed, just as a slough
comes out on the side OF a hill.
The remedy for this is tile drainage,
and the drain should not be located
in the seepy place, but above 1t, so as
to intercept the water that makes the
seep. Just on the same principle that
In draining a slough with many
branches and prongs, the work is done
best by thing around the prongs and
into the slough below at the lowest OF
them, instead of in the middle of it.
For whenever water gets into a slough,
the damage is done. The point is to
keep it from getting in.
A little attention to this, together
with dragging the road after every
rain, will give US fairly good roads
dirt roads without any hard surfacing
for nine or ten months in the year.
OF course, when these seepy places
are drained, they must have ditch
into which the water can run.
Permit US to repeat once more a
statement we have been making ever
since we made our first address on
good roads, 80 years ago: that wa
ter uncontrolled is the cause of bad
roads; that there are two kinds of
water, SO to speak; the under water
and the upper water. The under water
Is that which comes in under the road
bed; and the upper-water what comes
on If from above or flows in from the
sides. The way to get rid of the first
is through drainage; particularly in
these seepy places. The way to con-
troll the second is by grading and then
dragging, to put an enamel on the sur
face Of the roads Wallace's Farmer.
