failures of cement concrete struc
tures has been attributed wftouy
to carelessness and lack of exper

esty on the part of builders. No
reference is ever made concern
ing the inherent bad qualities of
the cement itself as being contri

Man cannot change it no matter

where cement concrete fence
posts have failed in less time.
Promoters of cement concrete
use questionable methods of ad
vei tising. They point with pride
to the pyramids of Egypt claim
ing them to be made of cement
concrete and have resisted the
elements for thousands of years
w hich need not be disputed but
they fail to explain at the same
time that the preservation of
those ancient buildings is due al
most entirely to the very arid
climate of that part of the world.
They also call attention to the
fact that great sea walls and
breakwaters, etc., in all parts of
the world are built of cement
concrete. Here again they fail
to ive out the information that
oceati water is strongly alkaline
and is not a solvent for cement
concrete.
Frt-sh water and soil moisture
will dissolve cement concrete the
same as it does a lump of sugar
or salt, the only difference being
the much greater length of time
required to do jt.
A cement concrete structure
which is exposed to the infiltra
tion of a considerable quantity of
fresh water or soil moisture must
in time yield to structural disin
tegration, if a fence post it w ill
f.ill over, if a drain or culvert
pi)H' it will collapse.
Submerged cement concrete is
in a state of rest, the pressure of
water being about equal on all its
parts.
There can be little if any cir
dilation of water through it, this
accounts for its great durability
under water. The adaptability
of cement concrete below the
water line need not be question
ed. Large concrete cement con
units have Uen constructed to
provide outleU for the drainage
of immense areas of some of the
finest agricultural lands in the
United States.
The failure of those costly and
imiortant subterranean water
courses is predicted in the near
future by eminent authority,
Those drainage systems are local
e i on comparatively level teni
tory, their stoppage would be
followed by incalculable damage.
Public officials who are vested
with legal and exclusive author
ity to exercise a choice of mater
ial w hich may enter into the con
struction of those public enter
prises are responsible for this
deplorable and threatening con
dition which confronts thousands
of farmers in th Mississippi val
ley.
