Show Little System Is Used in Dragging Highways The trouble with most dragging Is that it Is done with so little system and with so little perseverance. Roads which are dragged after every ralD can be distinguished readily from those which receive attention only now and then through the season. Still, the poorest job of dragging will Improve any road In which clay Is present in any large amount. In some localities where the roads are graveled grav-eled It is customary to run a drap over them when wet. This, of course Is not because of reasons similar to those which govern the use of this Implement in the case of dirt roads, but because the gravel responds more readily to treatment when It is soft than it does when It is dry. A smoother smooth-er and more uniform effect is produced under such conditions. |
