TMM JOHNSON ÀDTOCATl WINS MINNESOTA 1 Fanaer-Laborite Candidate for U. S. Senate Has "WnMnwny.** Survey Shows Good Road Soon Repays Its Cost (•**»«*■« Sr <Bs VaHM ai»i»» D»»«rt«.»»t •t Asn««:<»r» I A good road is such a paying Invest- ■snt that It la tha poorest kind of buainvsa judgment to de without it. ac cording to tha bureau of public roads •f th« United btataa Department of Agrtawlrwrv The bureau produces flg urea based upon a survey of traffic la t0 prove its contention. An actual count of the traSc on the Bos- t<* post rood ahowsd that tha average height vehicles and cwnmoditlae paaalng over the road tn nine hours each day was 1.140 ton* Adding ooe- thlrd ss a conservative estimate for tbe full day Increases the weight to L- M0 gross tons dally. Expsritrents made at the low* ex reriment station show that with gaso line at 25 cents a gallon the cost of aaevtag this tenasge over a dirt toad would have been 3X.44 a mile, assum ing tbe Impossible, that such traffic could be carried over a dirt road. The coat af fuel for moving the name ton nage over a paved road would be <11.70, a difference of >14.74 a day. On Ct baala of SOU days a year tbe actual ring in fuel alone for moving this tannage would be 34.422. if the pored Mghway costs >40.000 a mile, the av erage Interest at 5 per cent would be ffl.OOO s year, which, deducted from tbe saving on fuel, would ¡eave a bal- aace which would retire tbe cost of the road In leas than 12 year* This calculation does not take Into account other savings In the cost of op erating commercial vehicles or value of ths heavy movement ot passenger vehicles In lees developed rural sections the value of the gasoline sa»ed Is reduced tn proportion to the lighter travel, but the cost of the roads Is corresponding ly reduced, and there Is doubt that an analysis and comparison of the highway coats and the vehicle operat ing coot la any particular case will demonstrate the economy of improve^ meat wherever the traffic la sufficient to call for any improvement at all. do Bituminous Material Is Useful for Road Surface Application of bituminous material . laay be made successfully on any farm road which has already been construct- sd of stone, gravel or other similar ma terial, and la In a thoroughly com pacted and reasonably smooth condi tio*. A coal-tar preparation applied cold, or an »»phallic oil. can be used and If applied by the farm employees, the cost should not exceed 7 or 8 cants a square yard for material* The compacted grave! or «tone road should be thoroughly cleaned of dust and the bitumen applied with ordinary sprinkling pot» from which the per forated nozzle has been removed and the spout carefully flattened into a ' symmetrical rectangular opening about oaequarter of an Inch wide, so that the material may be poured tn a broad, flat stream. If a large amount of work Is to be done, a specially designed pouring can may bo purchased of dealers In road equipment. Care should be taken to have an even distribution, and the quantity applied should be approxi 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 covering material. It should be spread in suf ficient quantity to prevent the bitu minous material from adhering to tires of passing vehicles. This treatment should not be made where drainage from the stables or bams will flow over It. Where n;ud- bolea are likely to form around l.tch- ing poets or at stable entrance«. If a more durable pavement Is detired, a •action of concrete slab should be laid. Information Sought on Strength of Hard Roads Actual at reuses In coacrete road •labs and subgrade coo'’ tlens beneath are to be Investigated n many states by the bc-eau of pub! c roads of the United States Department of Agricul ture. A truck la now being equipped with suitable apparatus, including graphic strain guages and an auto graphic deflectometer especially de veloped for the purpose. Data to be collected will Include soil and moisture condition of the subgrade, design of •lab. direction and magnitude of •trasses, and deflection of slab under legal limit of loadings as well as other loadings. Some of tbe southern states will be visited first. Valuable Information should be secured as to tbe strength of different types of deslcn. SCOUTS DO MANY GOOD TURNS In Greenville, Mississippi, the boy scouts distribute tbelr “good turns" In a most Interesting way.
