SURFACING THE FARM ROADS Materials Ordinarily Used In Building Roads Are Too Expensive Few Good Suggestions. Many of the materials ordinarily employed In road construction will be found too expensive for use In improving improv-ing the farm roads. One or more of the following will, however, usually be found avBllnhle and within the means of the farmer for surfacing his roads and pnths: gravel, mixtures of sand and clay, cinders, brickbats from old buildings, brickyard waste and quarry waste. The materlnl selected should, however, be hard enough to - --withstand crushing under heavy loads and possess sufficient binding power to comport well and maintain a firm, bard surface under all ordinary weather weath-er conditions.
