EXCESS WATER HURTS ROADS
Cold Weather Does Not Cause Injury,
No Matter Whether Road Is
Earth, Gravel of Macadam.

Water, not cold, is the cause of the
deterioration of roads in winter. Cold
weather does not in itself injure roads
no matter whether they are earth,
gravel or macadam. In fact an earth
road will stand more traffic when it is
sOlidly frozen than at any other time.
Excess water, however, is always de-
trimental to highway. When cold
weather turns this water into ice, the
damage that it does is greatly in
creased. Ice occupies considerably
more space than the water from which
it Is formed, and every person who
has lived in Il cold climate is familiar
with the powerful bursting effect of
water when left to freeze in q con-
fined vessel. The same action takes
place when wet road freezes to any
considerable depth. 1t simply bursts
or, rs we generally term it in road
parlance, the road hcnveS. Later, when
grated and ruts badly. If this process
is repeated number of times during
the winter, gravel or macadam road
may be practically destroyed while an
earth road may become entirely i'm
paSSable.

fectly dry contract slightly on freez-

From the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)

specialist Of the department recently
had observations made in different sec,
tions of the country. The observers
noted many country-bound teamsters

essary to leave one wagon by the road.

the power of their teams was devoted
to hauling a single wagon over the un.
improved road.
Farmers bound for the market frc.
quehtIy were seen to haul wood and
silnllgr products to the beginning of
the good road, there dumping them,
and returning for second load. When
this arrived, the two loads We're con-
solidatcd and easily hauled by single
team the remaining distance to market
over the improved highway.
In one section of the country where
oxen are still used teamsters We're OBJ
served to bring their loads over the
dirt roads with two or three yoies of
oxen. When the beginning of the good
roads was reached, the teamSters
would unhitch the extra animals and

WeIl-Drained Road.

ing. In order to expand on freezing,
these materials must contain or be
miypd with water, and the more water
they contain the greater the expan-
sion which takes place. But so long
as the road remains frozen. the dam
age does not become apparent. Hence
the frequent and erroneous idea that it
is the thaw which Injuries the road.
The injury was done when the water
in the road froze and the particles of
the road surface-broken stone, sand,
still fine particles Of earth or clay
We're pushed apart by the expanding
power Of the freezing water. The
thaw merely allows the ice to melt and
assume its original volume as water.
The remedy is self-evident. Keep
the water out of the road. The time
to begin preventive measures is before
the rains begin. If the road goes into
the winter thoroughly dry with the sur
face and drainage in good condition.
the chances are extremely favorable
that it will come out all right the fol-
lowing spring.
