G rea t Success of Government Test Near Fort Myer. The °thee of public roads of the de- partment of agriculture has been mak- ing experiments on an eight : mile stretch of road in Virginia to demon- strate the results that wily h t . obtained on country earth roads by continuous , work under a patrol system. A 1ialrol. man was employed to furnish a horse. eart and small tools. and be WIla sup- plied with . road drag built of plank and required to' furnish two horses to drag the road *believer it poi in. snit- nble eondition for drugging. usually following catch rain The entire eight miles of road are well trnveled. and there is considera..le heavy teaming over parts of it. Th United States ea vii try stationed at Fort Myer freoneistly tinsses over a . portion and batteries of artillery also use the road at intervals. A traffie census for three days Itiat March showed the fel- lowing daily average of teams travel- ing over, the road: Loaded one horse wagons. fifteen: niiloaded one horse wagona, fifty-eight: loaded two horse wagons, thirty-eight: enloaded two horse wagons. forty-nine: loaded four horse wneona, nine: unloaded four horse wagons. four: saddle horses. ntnetv-six, tind motor runabouts. one. , The patrolman was paid Pin a wont) and $1 ci day extra Whenever be used two horses to drag the road. His pres- ence was required on the road_fmm R a. ni. until 4:311 p. m.. witb one-heli hour allowed for lunch. The average cost of dragging last year was S1ii.11 per mile for six and a half then s, which is at the rate of $29.74 a mile for, the first year of twenty-four Iraecrings, or nrinrsxlninte ly $1.25 per mile for each dragging of three rotted trips. The use of the road drag has greatly Improved the daily condition of the road and rendered It smooth and min- fortable for travel for a greatly in- creased number of days in had weather The department expects to eonlime. the experiment this year. for it is al- ready apparent that the entire eight miles of road will show remarkable improvement under the systematic work of the partolman. ROAD MAINTENANCE. Keep the Improved Reads In Their Present Condition. The present year promise's to be the greatest in the history Of the move- ment for the improvement of the pub - lie roads of the United States, accord- ing to the rettortm received from all parts of the 'Country A joint commit- tee of congress is engaged in tutu inves- tigation of the feasibility of federal aid tu the construction. improvement and maintenance of public high ways. and a number of the state legislatures now in session are yunsidering good roach leg- islation. In connection with the gen- eral impetus that the good road move- ment has recently had in all parts of the coentry. the director of the office of public roads says: \Too much stress cannot be laid upon the importance of maintenance ho eon newton with the work of improving the roads. The people in nenyly all the states are tilled with euthuslasm for road improvement and are spending enormous sums of money in the con- struction of superb roads. and yet al- most without exception they mire mak ing little provision to care far the roads after they are built. This is true not only in the various counties. but under many of our state highway de- partments. \To maintain the roads in good'eon dition year *after year requires a con- siderable annual outlay, but tll oat - lay Is infinitely less than the loss which must fall upon the people event- ually if they allow their roads to go to utter ruin. The thing for all advocates of good roads to do is to urge contlim- ous, systematic, maintenance and the setting aside every year of tin sm 000 t per mile estimated by the engineer in eharge to he '4'1111Mo-tit for the proper maintenance of the road—a course which must make for eemunny and ef- ficiency.\ WIDE VERSUS NARROW TIRES. — - In the road Improvement dIsetoodott the (petition of., the' advantages of wide tires as compared with narrow tires is always brought up. 'King's \Physics of Agriculture\ reports these differ- ences in draft: On ['milldam streets: wide tire 211 per rent less than narrow tire. On gravel road. wide tire 24.1 per rent less than narrow tire. On dirt rends, dry, smooth, free from dust, wide tire 211.R per cent less than narrow tire, On clay road, with mud deep and drying on top and spongy beneath, wide tire 52 to di per cent less than narrow tire.
