DIRT HIGHWAYS ARE EASIEST
Unpaved Country Roads Cause Least .. Wear on Tires, While SIag Is i Most Destructive.

The much maligned dirt road finds a champion in Denver tire manufac- turer, who asserts that exhaustive tests show that the unpaved country road causes the least tire wear. But the road must be in good condition, with no ruts to wear against the side walls of the tire. When properly dragged, the unpaved country road is found to generate less heat in the tire than any other type of road.
 Slag roads were found to be most destructive to tires, the sharp points soon pitting the tread with my holes. With the test cars wheels fraction of an inch out of alignment, the tires looked as if their tread had been sand papered after only few hours travel.
 Asphalt pavement was found to de- velop much heat, but little external wear. Macadam roads in good condi- ton were found to be better than slag.

To both city man and farmer the good road means release from bond age-bondage to electric, steam car schedules and Misunderstanding to distance-bondage to time. Coun- ties and states where good roads have become a steady part of progressive program of legislation have seen val ues shoot up in most surprising fash ion, and this again has brought home the fact that good roads pay for them selves.

Because of its tendency to damage roads, the tractor is barred from many state, county and private highways. In spite of being thus in disrepute, however, it is considered indispens- able in many communities for build ing, repairing and maintaining roads. Many a fine dirt road owes its smooth ness and state of good repair to ire quent use of the drag or grader, pulled by a husky tractor.
