DIRT ROADS CARE IN SPRING I
Proper Drainage la Chief Essential in i
Maintenance Road Drag 13
Especially Useful.
The cardinal essential In sprin'j
maintenance of earth roads. espechdlt
those on heuvv soils. Is good drainage. ;
So long as the water can be kept
from penetrating dcei.lv Into thest i
roads they will remain r.t least fnlrlv
passable. To Accomplish this on aver
age earth roads, however. Is far from
easv. I luring the earlv nan of this
season of the year rains are often ot
long duration and tend to saturate the
soil. Water from melting snows N
perhaps even more penetrating than
leiig-cout inticd rains, while alternate j
freezing and thawing of the wet sur
face tends to Increase the porosity of
the soli and neriuit even more read.'
access of water Into the foundation. j
The chief attention of lb" road men :
must therefore he directed toward
getting anil keeping the water away !
from the road. So long as the founda
tion can be kept dry. even a heavy
freeze followed by n rapid thaw will
do little or no real damage to the road
surface. A dry soil does not heave. J
The foundation will therefore still be '
solid, and the road will be able to j
sustain the traffic without serious ru' j
ting. On the other hand saturated (
soil expands greatly on freezing, and
when It thaws out has not only Ins'
practically nil power of sustaining tti
weight of unfile, but also is in an ideal
condition for taking up or absorbing i
still more water, and tints forming !
still more mud.
Iiurmg the early part of the season
as long as the weather Is very rainy
or there is melting snow on the ground
It will pay to have the road man go
over the road dally to see that the
drains and side ditches do not become
clogged and to note the need of any
necessary repairs. A few minutes'
work with a shovel may prevent a se
rious washout or damages, which. If
not promptly cheeked, might make the
road practically Impassable.
The road drag or some other similar
device llnds Its greatest usefulness
(luring this season. It may be used
to good ailvmitnge to clear the road
way of slush and melting snow and so
prevent this wnter from sonklng Into
