Bituminous Material Is
Useful for Road Surface

Application of bituminous material
may be made successfully on any farm
road which has already been construct
ed of stone, gravel or other similar ma
terial, and is In a thoroughly COM
pacted and reasonably smooth condi-
ton. A coal-tar preparation applied
cold, or an asphaltic oil, can be used
and If applied by the farm employees,
the cost should not exceed 2 or 8
cents a square yard for materials.
The compacted gravel or stone road
should be thoroughly cleaned of dust
and the bitumen applied with ordinary
sprinkling pots from which the per
forated nozzle has been removed and
the spout carefully fiattened into a
symmetrical rectangular opening about
one-quarter of an inch wide, so thar
the material may be poured in a broad,
fat stream.
If a large amount of work Is to be
done, a specially designed pouring can
may be purchased of dealers in road
equipment. Care should be taken TO
have an even distribution, and the
quantity applied should be approx
mately one-half gallon to a square
yard Of road surface. After applying
the bituminous material, clean gravel
or stone chips should be spread evenly
over the surface, and If possible, rolled
with a lawn or field roller. Where
gravel or chips are not available, clean
coarse sand will serve as coverina
material. 1t should be spread in suf-
fcient quantity to prevent the btu
minous material from adhering to tires
OF passing vehicles.
1his treatment should not be made
where drainage from the stables or
barns will flow over It. Where mud
holes are likely to form around hitch
ing posts or at stable entrances, II a
more durable pavement is desired, a
section of concrete slab should be laid.

Information Sought on
Strength of Hard Roads

Actual stresses in concrete road
slabs and subgrade conditions beneath
are to be investigated in many states
by the bureau of public roads of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. A truck is now being equipped
with suitable apparatus, including
graphic strain guages and an auto
graphic dedectometer especially de-
yeloped for the purpose. Data to be
collected will include soil and moisture
condition of the ~subgrade, design of
slab, direction and magnitude of
stresses, and DETECTION of slab under
legal limit Of loadings as well as other
loadings.
Some of the southern states will be
visited first. Valuable information
should be secured as to the strength OF
different types of design.
