The present pride of Iowa is found in record

told that the state will give The greatest production
of food from any equal of land in the worlds
history-this will be Iowa's record for l917-as
one of her contributions to the success of the armies
fighting for world democracy
This is broad statement. but We are informed
that ii is based on reliable governmental informal
ton, which if not complete errs in its failure to
obtain a record of the return from every foot of
cultivated land. Therefore, the figures are conser.

In every city and town in Iowa. back yards and

an effort has been made to guess at the amount of

was valued at $5,O0O,O00. The approximate figure
for 1917 will be $20.OOO0OO-or an increase of BOG
per cent.
In 1916 Iowa produced approximately $4,000
0OU bushels of oats. Present Indications are that
this year she will produce close to 34O0OO OOO
bushels, or an increase of over - per cent If this
proportion of increase is maintained throughout the
United States, Uncle Sans oat crop will be more
than 40O0O0O0O bushels greater than it was last
year-or grand total of 100000 600 bushels
And if Iowa should produce 24O,OOO0OO bushels

The College Road Record

CONCLUSIONS: The road has been in use
about sixteen months and il is therefore 100
soon to derive final conclusions as TO the De
havior and performance of each OF the dlneFeh'
kinds of pavement; there are, however, certain
general observations that may he made at thls
lime which apparently are conclusive.
|. That concrete pavement should not Ike
laid without reinforcement. This has been
clearly demonstrated by the relative behavior OF
these two payements.
> Foundations for concrete pavement
should be as carefully prepared and as we'll
built as for other pavement In other words,
the concrete should not be called upon to cover
defects of foundation. 1t is automatic in road
construction that solid foundations and proper
subdrainage are two important factors to be
taken into account and the behavior OF this
road has followed this law.
g. The Importance of thoroughly rolling as
phalt macadam both before and after the as
phaIt has been applied cannot be emphasized
too strongly. This point has been strlklngIy
illustrated in one of the sections OF asphalt
macadam in which section of about fifty feet
in length received a much more thorough roll
ing than other portions of the same kind OF
pavement Notwithstanding the fact that this
particular ffty-foot section did not receive
seal coat 1t has stood up against severe test
and is today in better condition than any other
part of the asphalt road, and it is believed that
this superior condition today is due to the IGct
that il received much more thorough rolling.
PRESENT CONDITIONS: Due to the ex-
tremely heavy traffic passing over this road con-
siderable wear has taken place and the road is
now in need of repairs. These repairs are being
executed and consist in filling in the broken
and worn spots in the plain concrete pavement
with new concrete and the filing in of all
cracks with hot asphaltum in order to prevent
moisture from getting at the foundation. The
asphalt macadam sections which have raveied
in number of places are being repaired by cut
ting out and replacing with new material the
rayeled spots; after which the entire surface of
asphalt macadam will receive new seal coat.
number of photographs showing the con-
dition of the different sections of the road be-
fore the repair work started, were taken and
are of special interest, particularly those show
ing the relative condition of the two kinds of
concrete pavement.

The foregoing is from the report of the engineer
in charge of the experimental road at the College
of Hawaii, the first experimental road ever con-
structed i'm the islands, unless it be held that all the
road building of the last ten or twenty years has
been one grand and expensive experiment i
Attention is called to the very definite conclusion
regarding the concrete road Any person interested
and every taxpayer should be interested-can see
for himself by passing over the road. The record
is so clear that he who runs or rides may see and
understand. E~. .-... .a. -.
1t is of the utmost Importance that the facts
gained from this experiment should be given close
study by the people at large well as the man
ayers of the city. ." A.,
During the last twenty years Honolulu residents
have paid for the education of nearly every road
engineer who has been in Office.
In the next ten years, hundreds of miles of new
street and road will be reconstructed, and for a
great portion of it the householder will have to pay
directly from his own pocket.
How necessary is ii, therefore, that the man who
owns a home should understand the essentials OF
road construction results as proved by definite
and well.managed experiment M d." -.
When this particular experiment was first pro
posed in the legislature it received with scorn
or Indifferent interest because, it was assumed
there would be no traffic over the road.
The fact is that this highway has had the hardest
traffic of any street in the city with the possible ex
ception of King street on account of the hauling OF
heavy material for the Manoa district street i'm
proyement.
What we need in the road construction of Fono
lulu is a standardzing based on general record OF
fact rather than spasm of work based on the per-
ronal ideas of engineer supervisor who does
not foot the Drills.
