BUILDING ROAD CULvERTS.
Three Fundamental Requirements Nsc.
esssry In Construction.

esssry IN Construetton.
A recent bulletin of the American
Highway association contains some In
structlons on culvert building which
are Of value to the maker Of roads.
In building a culvert the road builder
must observe three fundamental re
quirements:
First.-The culvert must be so placed
that 1t will drain across the road and
under the road. Of course, all the wa.
ter that is delivered TO II by the side
ditch along the road II this Is not
done the earth along the road and
about the end Of the culvert will be
wet and soggy during the greater part
Of the year. and the culvert opening
will require almost constant repairs.
Repairing a highway culvert I'm the
country is relatively more expensive
than similar work In town because
Of the waste of time of the workmen
In going to and from the point at
which the work must be done. In
placing the culvcrt care must also be
taken that 1t will not be choked by
brush and leaves. This duty must be
discharged by the road supervisor II
he is efficient
Second.--A very important require.
ment in the building of a culvert is
that its ends must be protected by
some kind of wall or facing carried
down to firm foundation. IL this Is
done IL will be found that the end of
the culvert will not be undercut by
the water and will not be broken.
frost will not injure II, the surround
ing or superintendent earth will not
slide downeinto the ditch I'm front Of
the opening. and. with the further
necessary work Of keeping the feed.
ing bitches clear. the culvert will he
able to take care of all the water
alongside the road.
Third.-The culvert must be made SO
strong that it will not break and 50
tight that IL will not leak. These
aims can lie attained by building the
culvert of masonry, of concrete or OF
good piping. The material to be used
must be determined by the relative
cost of the several materials at the
locality where the culvert Is to be
built and by the distance from the
top of the culvert to the surface OF the
road. II the culverts are not built of
good material they will have TO be
rebuilt In few years. Defective cul-
verts vitiate one of the elementary
principles of highway economics, and
the interests of the taxpayers require
that the annual cost of every part OF
the roads built for their use be re-
duced to the lowest possible figure
consistent with efficiency.

KENTUCKY'S CHAMPION
CORN BOY

Eastern Kentucky for the first
time since the organization of Corn
Clubs holds the championship OF
the State. Iona C. Fish Of Berea is
now in possession Of the $500 tro-
ply cup which signifies his champ
ionship and honors won in 1915.
We are proud Of this boy; the
County is proud; the State is proud
II means much to have State honors
heaped upon you. Iona is happy,
but yet he says, I'm going to try
next year to hold the cup again"
Iona is spreading manure on his
acre now and also keeping record OF
every hours work, as he must do
this.
It's not always the biggest yield
that wins.
Notice the papers for LOna's own
words in regard to growing corn
and the club work.
