Steep Roads Do Not Bar Concrete.

When the state of New York began
to build concrete roads this type of
construction was not used ON grades
exceeding five feet rise in distance of
hundred feet. Experience has shown,
however, that this limitation was I'm
necessary. and concrete roadways hav-
ing grades of eight feet rise in dis
lance of a hundred feet, or per cent,
have been built. These grades are
sleeper than road builders like to have
on highways carrying more than a
light traffic, no matter what kind of
construction is employed.
III. Eltinge Breed, first deputy com
missioner of the New York highway
department, recently stated that the
grade of concrete road seems to be
limited only by the character of the
mixture forming the concrete, the abil-
ity of the wet concrete to stay in place
until it hardens and the nature of the
traffic ON the road. He reports that
even on steep grades the use of coarse
sand in the concrete prevents the sur
face from being slippery, and he advo-
Gates grooming the wet concrete SO
that the very minute particles which
make the surface smooth will be dis
lodged before the mass hardens. AS a
matter of fact, concrete pavements
have been laid in number of cities on
slopes sleeper than those of the New
York highways. Dale place in Little
Falls, n. Y, has pavement of this
kind on an IS per cent grade, as has
Twenty second street in Kansas City
Mo. The pavement on Baxter street
Los Angeles, Cal, is on a grade of 20
per cent and holds the record at present

CULTIVATION or CORN.
Too Frequent Stirring of the Ground
When Dry May Do Harm.

Too Frequent Stirring of the Ground
When Dry May Do Harm.
Cultivation is OF greatest Importance
in the early growth Of corn, according
to L. E. Call, professor of agronomy
in the Kansas State Agriculture col
lege.
The harrow may often be used to adj
vantage after planting on both listed
and surface planted corn, but when
the shoots of the surface planted corn
are just out Of the ground it Is not
best to harrow again until the corn Is
two or three inches high. Weeds that
are just terminating or that have not
yet obtained good root hold on the
soil are easily killed by light cultiva-
tiol, with the harrow or the weeder.
The lister cultivator is admirably
adapted for cultiyating listed corn.
Ordinarily it is used twice, once with
the disks set to throw the soil away
from the corn and once with the disks
set to throw it toward the corn. 1t is
important that the cU,tivator be set to
kill or cover all the weeds in the row.
Those which escape the early cultiva-
ton cannot, as a rule, be destroyed
later.
The shovel cultivator is used in cul-
tivating corn after it becomes too high
to harrow or, in the case of listed
corn, after the ridges have been work
ed down with the lister cultivator. The
number of civilizations depends on the
type of soil, on the distribution of the
rainfall and on whether the weeds are
unusually numerous.
| Experiments show that from three to
six civilizations are as many as are
practical. Too frequent stirring or the
| ground, especially when it is dry, may
| do harm, in that the dusty condition
| of the soil is effective in keeping
rainwater from entering the soil read,
| lily. The ideal condition in which to
maintain the soil is to have mulch
two or three inches deep, composed OF
small Jumps mixed with small granules
and reasonably free from dust.
On the average it is best to cultivate
two or three inches deep. While the
plants are small and before the roots
occupy the space between the rows the
ground may be stirred deeply witt
good results. After the roots have per
meated all the soil it should not be cul
tivated to depth of more than three
inches.
An extra cultivation or two with 6
one horse cultivator may be given Il
advantage if rains have heavily crested

than the others and scuttle away,
when each earwig which they nearly
touch in fight will savagely swing
back It's tail and nip in the air with
fury. Sometimes the blow falls upon
neighbor, which instantly retaliates,
idly interchanged. But fighting weight
quickly settles the quarrel. the smaller
earwig scuttling off and the larger pur-
suing him for several inches, running
backward and reaching savagely to
right and left with his nippers. Yet
these same earwigs, so vindictive at
meals, will be crammed, all sizes to-

The auto truck and tractor business
has scarcely been touched, but it is
now generally recognized that this
new form of traffic is destined to re-
place old Dobbin on the highway i'll
the very near future.
"These methods of transportation re-
quire new and adequate systems of
road and bridge construction and main
tenance. The condition of the roads
and bridges is many years behind the
traffic.
Our roads were planned for horse
drawn traffic, moving at a maximum
speed of about ten miles an hour, and
we have not even rounded off the right
angle corners in most cases. Even the
weeds and hedges are not cut at these
corners, and we are only beginning
now to talk about the elimination of
the railroad grade crossings. The old
drainage structures we call bridges
and culverts were not designed in most
cases to carry any given load. They
We're just built. Then fast driving
signs We're put on the bridges to pre-
vent the boys when out driving with
their best girls from rafting these old
structures to pieces.
"Much as we need improved roads
we need permanent bridges and cul-
verts more. 1t is more important that
all of the bridges and culverts be in
| good condition than that all the roads
be kept in first class repair, for if the
road is to be used at all the drainage
structures must be kept up. At the
present time it is not practical, nor is
it necessary, to surface all of the road,
but a junk pile of wood or tin for a
| culvert or scrap heap of wood or
steel for bridge is just as much out
of place and just as expensive to main
tain on an earth road as on highly
improved boulevard, for the bridges
