equipment. and frequently force the au-
tomobue owner to abandon the use Of
his car for the entire spring rather
than risk a breakdown.
Most of the unpleasantness and diff
ficulty may be remedied in many local
tiles even in the worst weather, for
there are times when the worst cut
up surface is in fairly good condition
for dragging. By taking advantage Of
the proper moment, the ruts and bumps
can be smOothed out and the next
freeze viii result in a smooth hard
surfaced pike that can be fayorably
compared to a concrete highway.
Owing to the fact that the road sur.
face will be rather wet and sticky
when dragged, greater care must be
exercised in handling the drag. If the
blades of the drag are set vertically,
there win be a tendency to scrape up
too much earth, or, in the language
of the road. man, ''Ball up in front"
Also, if the hitch to the team is set too
near the center, the angle of the drag
with the. road will be too nearly
right angle, or straight across, to shed
or CROWN the wet earth.
Dragging under these conditions
should be more an "Ironing out the

SO arranged that the angle of the drag
is more nearly parallel to the road
than ordinary. thus causing the earth
to shed better and prevent trouble. For
extremely bad conditions. the use Of
the road machine ahead Of the drag
will be found effective. In all cases,
the road should be freed Of all stumps,
snags, and powders, as these seriously
retard good dragging.
A little practice will enable the op-
orator to do a fairly ereditable job,
and after subsequent freeze the road
will present a smoother and much more
comfortable surface. Then, when the
spring rains come. the road will quick
ly shed the water that formerly col
lected in the deep ruts. and be dry and
hard long before similar roads not
dragged.

MANY Factors in Tree Planting.

In places the trees along the road
side form screens so as to break up
the long stretches of views and allow
openings here and there which frame
and make more attractive the road

of trees are more suitable for highway
planting than others, according to the
use to which they will be put. The fac
tor of planting for the protection af-

the assistance given by the proper

PLANT MORE CHERRY TREES
Good Reasons for Urging Increased
Cultivation Of Useful and Pretty
Bearers Of Fruit.

Although In at least two states.
PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio. there are more
than 100000 cherry trees and nearly
as many IN several other states, the
commercial interests are relatively
small compared with several ether
fruits in which the Dumber OF trees
is considerably less.
In the south the summers are TOO
long and hot, as a rule. for cherries
to do we'll and they do their best at
the higher attitudes.
In their endurance Of low tempera-
lures sour cherries compare favorably
with apples. Sweet cherries are less
hardy than sour sorts. Their endur-
ance Of cold corresponds more nearly
to that Of TIE peach
Cherries are sensitive to q poorly
drained soil Clay soils. extremely
retentive OF moisture give the poorest
results. and the lighter. better drained
soils the best Soils that dry out ex-
cessiyeIy are also unsatisfactory. Mod
erately productive soils give better re-
suits than those which represent either

comparatively early. the sweet sorts
earlier in most cases than the sour
varieties: therefore sites that are sub

FEDERAL AID FOR ROAD WORK
Small Amount Paid Out in 1918 Was
Because Of steps Taken for
Conservation.

(Prepared by the United States Depa-ts
ment OF Agriculture.)
Although S14,55O000 was avaiIabls
for expenditure on the post roads from
the federal aid road act only s425, 70
was paid from federal funds in the
highway construction season of 1913
on an projects The reason for this,
according to the annual report Of the
secretary Of agriculture, was the steps
taken to conserve money, labor, trans
portation and materials in highway
work during the war, and at the same
time to facilitate really essential high
way projects.
In connection with the federal aid
road work a letter was addressed TO
each state highway department asking
that program Of federal aid con
structon be submitted at the earliest
possible date In which would be in.

state highway departments considered

ment were made available for inspect
ing and reporting upon proposed nigh
way and irrigation and drainage bond
issues. Inspections were made Of ISL

issues Of SS8,912, ,39G. An arrangement
was made with the fuel administra-
ton whereby highways Of special i'm
portance should receive enough btu
minous material to provide for ade-
quate maintenance, and where neces-
sary to permit construction and re-
construction. From May 13, 1913,
when the cooperation became actively
effective. until the close Of the fiscal
year, 2.235 applications, calling for
T5,000,000 gallons of bituminous NATE

BEST CROWN FOR EARTH ROAD

The earth road can best be crowned
and ditched with a road machine and
not with picks and shovels, scoops

a suitable power and operator will
do the work of many men with picks

Most earth and gravel roads are in

precedence over any kind of road
