"Uoad maintenance is like milkiiiK Ji'i'l other chores," asserts W. S. Gearhart, Kansas state highway engineer. "It must be done over and over again, and it cannot be neglected without perma nent loss." The hard smooth road which is the dream of every farmer can be attained even in the case of earth roads, if the road is well made to begin w ith and if persistent intelligent attention is given to maintenance, says an article by M. N. Harrison in Farm and Fireside. "1'ractiially all the work done on an earth road, except re duction of grades, correction of horizontal alignment, the building of drainage structures, and the elimination of railway grade c ross ings is temporary, and should bo considered maintenance," says .Mr. Gearhart. "Doing permanent work is a comparatively easy matter, for w hen once done, if it is done correctly, it will last for a number of years. The maintenance of an earth road, however, is a never-eiuliiig job. For this reason the earth road has a bad reputation. The trouble is not so much with the material of w hich the road is composed as with our system or lack of system of man agement. Other types of roads when treated as we treat the earth roads are much more expensive and serve the traveling public lit tle if any belter." According to the Kansas road engineer, the improvement that can be made on our 'present earth roads by intelligent direc tion and construction and maintenance is little realized by the pub lic, and the fervii eability of a properly maintained earth road is not appreciated when compared with other types of roads as tt cost of construction. Successful construction and maintenance of any kind of a road depends upon the recognition by the public and the builders of a few fixed and fundamental requirements. That one practical, well-paid road builder should be made re sponsible for the upkeep of a certain system of road and should be employed throughout the year, his tenure of ollice dependent en tirely upon the character of services rendered, Mr. Gearhart recommends as one solution of the problem. " The graded portion of the road should be elevated and crow ned so that the water from every section of the road surface will flow into the side ditches," he says. "The road should have a. ditch along each side large enouj'h to carry oil' the water. These ditches should have a continuous fall from the highest point to the outlet, and outlets from the ditches and all culverts into the fields and natural waterways .should be provided whenever possible, in order that the water may be drained away from the roadway. Both the construction and maintenance should be timely." Drainage is the prime essential in all road maintenance, but it never will be adequately provided lor until men who appreciate its importance and who know how to drain the ro.ids are placed in charge of the work. In describing how to secure good drainage Mi. (learhart makes these definite suggestions: "The proper width for a highway depends on the kind of soil, the amount of traffic, the drainage ami topography of the ad lu cent fields. 1'nder normal conditions L'o to :!l) feet between the centers of the side ditches has proved .satisfactory, but in a low Mat country, or w here the drainage is not good, the width should' be increased 111 order that the traveled portion mav be raised a silllicieiit amount above the side ditches to drain the road surf ice thoroughly without making the traveled portion to,, sleep. On heavily traveled roads and where the drainage is poor a w idth of ." to 10 feel between the centers of the side ditches will be more satisfactory. "Such a width will mal e it possible to maintain the IS or 20 feel ot traveled surla.es with just enough crown to ..!,ed the water, and will give a good, convenient surface to drive upon. 1 he lal to the side dit lies then can be obtained between the cen ter of the sal., dit.-l.es and the edge of the traveled portion. If the road is narrower and has to be raised considerably1 above the side (inches, the traveled portion becomes so steep that it is difficult Mid dangerous to drive upon. "In the cor. ,t na tion of a new road it is always adv isable to make them as narrow as practical in order that as large a mile age as possible c in be con.-lrucicd at one tune.
