ers to go over every road in the dis
trict with the grader. and IL the farm
ers along the roads would NOV the
weeds at the sides of the road along
their farms, and the weeds burned. II
would be a big help to the grader,
and save the district quite a lot Of
money. as II Is not good policy to
grade weeds into the center Of road.
Travel while road Is being graded

the road will be noticed after two or
three rains, and tie roads are packed
down. ANY farmer in the district who
wants a drag, and will use Il, should
make application to the commission
