DRAGGING ROADS IN SPRING
Operations Should Begin Just as Soon
as the Frost Starts to Come
Out of the Ground.

Nothing adds more immediate value
to our farm land than accessibility to
markets, such connecting link between
the farm and market being a good
road. The early dragging of our dirt
roads is certainly to be commended.
Just as soon as the frost begins to
come out of the ground, the farmer
should commence dragging.
This is not laborious job, a good
team can put the road between him
and the first crossing toward town,
even If half a mile away, in good con-
dition in a half day, and he will save
many times the cost of such labor or
expense during the year. Besides the
additional value it adds to the farm,
there is that personal pride that we all
owe to every community, and especial
ly to ourselves.

GRADING AND ROLLING ROADS
tain Degree Fault of Drass on
Dry Highways.

Split logs and drags and CONNER
cially manufactured drags involving
the basic principle Of Mr.. D. Ward
Kings simple split-log drag, have
done much for the dirt roads of the
nation, and these make up the bulk
of the mileage of the country roads of
this nation. The originator of this
type of drag advocated their use while
the road was still muddy to puddle"
the dirt of the roads surface and SO
make it more waterproof as well as to
smooth the surface of the road. This
Is the best time to use them, for then
they accomplish these two tasks so
important to the making of a good
dirt road. But for some reason or 9th
er the bulk of users of road drags per-
sist in using them only after the sur
face of the road has become dry and
rough after rain, simply to smooth
it up.
When used in this way, all the drags
of this type have one basic fault they
leave ridge of loose dirt in the CEN
ter of the road. If the weather con-
tinues dry and hot, this soon dries
and pulverizes into dust, to be blown
about with the shifting winds. If it
rains, this loose dirt quickly absorbs
a large amount of water and turns
into mud-much quicker than it would
have been if it had been packed firm
and hard, instead of being loose and
porous. Herewith is shown q drawing
of a steel drag of this same kind
which is designed to correct to GER
tain degree at least this fault of drags
when used on dry ground. 1t is de-
signed to pack more or less firmly
this little ridge of loose dirt which is

AUT0IST LEARNED TO GROAN
Sight of Road Grader in Offing Fills
His Heart With Dismay-Drag
Is Cause of Smiles.

Speaking of grading operations, the
autoist has learned to groan when he
sees road grader, manned by half
dozen willing men, show up in the
offing. He knows that the presence of
the grader forecasts bad roads for
weeks to come-sod, loose dirt, ruts
and bumps, and when the rain comes,
with little prospect of quick drying of
the sodden mass. But he smiles when
he sees road drag, for he knows that
means immediate Improvement of the
road and permanent benefit.

drawn into the middle of the road by
the smoothing action of the drag when
the road is dry.
Just back of the delivery end of
both blades to the drag is hinged
roller for the purpose of further pull
verizing and also of packing this loose
dirt. One lever controls the cutting or
dragging blades so they can be set
at whatever angle is desired, to regu-
late the degree of cutting which is
done by them. Another lever regu-
lates the height at which the rollers
may be set, and so the amount of
packing they shall do.-Business

also will select special records and

Good Roads.

The value of farming land depends
very largely on the distance from a
market. A good road has the effect
OF shortening the time required for
carrying load of produce to market
which is practically the same thing as
shortening the distance.

Flowers are more fragrant when the

Do Not Sell Your Corn for
Expectation.

The Herald is advised that great
deal of corn is being sold in iberia
and st. Mary parishes and shipped
off, most of it going to Texas. We
are also told that many of the small
farmers, enticed by the big prices
paid, are selling too short. 1t is a
custom Of this class of farmers to
sell short every year, even when the
price is low, and then have to buy
corn with borrowed money to finish
their crops the next year.
Conditions now are altogether diff
ferent from what they have ever
been before. The farmer who sells
his corn now to realize some ready
spending money will most probably
find that when he needs more corn
next year he will not be able to buy
it at any price.
There was sufficient corn raised in
this locality to supply the local de-
mand, but no more. Every commun-
ity is interested in this matter and
should conserve its corn crop. It is
true that big wheat crop was rails
ed, but no one knows how much of
it will be allowed to reach the South
ern States. In one of his notes,
President Wilson told the Southern
rope had to be fed and warned them
that if the South did not raise more
foodstuffs, the Southern people
would have to go hungry. Before
another crop is made we may not be
allowed to buy any flour; 50 the i'm
portance Of keeping the corn at
home should be apparent to every
one.-Coast Herald.

TIME MEASURE OF AMBITION
Successful Man Uses It for What It 10
Worth, While failure Places No
Value Upon It.

Time is only measure OF ambt.
ton. The allotted expectancy Of life
is three score and ten years. This Is
a period, space; and in this sense
all men are equal. Yet how different
is the value of this allotted time to
different men.
Successful men use time for what it
is worth; the failures place no COM
mercial value on time. Successful
men divide their time so that every
hour brings them returns. Business,
recreation. rest and education, each
has its certain time and that time Is
used for that particular purpose, says
an exchange.
To such men time is money, for
money Is the logical return for the use
of time properly expended. Not a
minute is wasted. The time devoted
to recreation, rest and education Is
valued because it makes men phys
ically and mentally able to get the
most out Of the time strictly devoted
to business.
The man who gives all Of his time
to business is a failure because his
health won't stand it. and when health
is lost time is of no commercial value.
So the expression "time Is money"
does not mean that every minute
should be given to business, but that
the time given to business will bring
more money because Of the added EN-
cheney possessed by the man who SEN
sibly divides his time between bust.
ness, recreation. rest and education.
To such men all time Is money.
