Dragging to Improve Roads
Must be Persistent.

The main trouble about dragging
roads is that we do not drag them
enough. What's everybody's business
is nobody's business. A rain comes
and the road is cut up. We drag it
and improve it wonderfully, and the
community is enthusiastic over good
roads. Another rain cor IS, and
somebody says, "What's the use?" so
the road is left to remain in chuck
holes and bitches. Probably we have
no more rain for several weeks, and
we bounce over roads that a days
work would have smoothed.
Persistent dragging will keep any
ordinary road in good shape, provided
the road has been put in good condi-
tion with grader to begin with. Drag
ging must be done after every rain, if
good results are expected. The
ground should be dry, but not so dry
that is VIII tear up in clods. Continu-
ally dragging gradually elevates the
center of the road, and keeps the sur
face smooth, so that the water runs
off. Usually, two rounds with drag
is all that is necessary.
A homemade drag that does just
as good work as the steel drag, can be
made very easily. This drag is made
box fashion, out of 2x12 plank. These
plank are bolted together securely
with long bolts, about 18 inches a.
part. The bottom is left open, but the
top is boxed over with plank stout e.
nough to bear the weight of two or
three men. The front runner is faced
with piece of steel to protect the
plank and to cut the dirt smoothly.
The driver rides on the drag, and can
change it's position as desired, by
shifting his weight from one end to
the other.-The Progressive Farmer.

School Consolidation Paid in

Unfortunately, however, this COM

school district, was about equally dl-

knew it, but stubbornness is the key
