ROCK ROAD QUESTION I southern farms. I WHY D. WARD KING FAVORS BUILD ING MACADAM HIGHWAYS. Expert Telia How and Where The? Are a Poaalbllity Advlaea Any Com munity to Build a Mile or More of Stone Road Each Year, "The conviction tbnt progress Is pos sible must .first exist before any at tempt at progress will be made. It cer tainly Is unfortunate tbat tbe mistaken Idea that niaeailuuiizeO roads are im possible prevails Id so many communi ties," writes D. Ward Kins in the Uootl Itoads Magazine. Some folk seem to Lave a notion that unless the tlelds are covered with stone rock Is too scarce for road buildiug. 1 will lie dogmatic for a moment nnd assert, as a general proposition, that a macadamized pike Is a possibility wherever laud Is worth $30 per aere and rock can be obtained -within two and a half miles of the pro posed road not all of the roads, of course, but the main thoroughfares. "Permit :no a few moments in sup port of my position. While visiting In Alabama one summer I saw rock roads building at a cost of $'J,'J00 per mile where the best land was priced at only $25 to $30 per acre. Moreover, in my opinion, tbe road they were building was far heavier and wider than the travel demanded and therefore much more expensive than necessary. Hut the people there have been educated to see the advantages of the stone road. 'lease do nut think I am speaking of a radically progressive community. The old darky still .dun's his tatlered hat nnd steps il'l' Hie sidewalk as you pass. Chain harness Is the rule. The old style bull tongue plow is in the majori ty, and these line roads iuv traveled by cx teams. Not of the 'new south' am 1 speaking, but of the genuine old fash ioned hospitable 'old s null' of the, antebellum days. And now another statement: Although rock Is superabun dant thereabout, still the contractor found It profitable to haul the crushed rock two and a half miles before mov ing the crushing machinery. 1 submit that these two facts prove that with rock less tli;m two and a half miles distant and land nt s::o per acre mac adamized mads nre a possibility. And it would seem a natural sequence that win-re land is more valuable the stone can In- hauled farttser. "And now let us consider an in Htunce where a community might have Much Benefit to Be Derived From Sub toiling the Land. A large number of farmers who, act ing on our advice, have subsoiled parts of their farms have testified to us tbat they derived much benefit from so do ing, says the Southern Planter. An ther good reason for plowing and sub soiling land in the south during the winter months Is that it is the only certain way in which to make an end of the gullies and galls which so dis figure the farms of the south and giva to them in the eyes of strangers the appearance of being wasted and neg lected anil which are a source of great loss to southern farmers in the depre ciation of the value of their farms and In the loss of soil. Hillsides In the South. The reason for the existence of these gullies and galls is that the rainfall cannot permeate the subsoil and there fore accumulates in the surface soil until It becomes so supersaturated that it can no longer retain its hold on the subsoil and slides down to the lower land In the form of mud. The subsoil thus left bare then begins to disinte grate under the action of the sun, air and frost nnd as soon as disintegrated slips oil" its subsoil as mud and so en larges the g::l!iy, and this process is continually repeated until we have the terrible scarred hillsides which are so frequent mi eyes ire in the south. Deep Plowing and Subsoiling. ecp plowing and snbsoiling will make tin end of these guliies and add d.illars an acre to t'ae value of the laud. The new soil may be turned up to the surface now without any risk of Its not Icing si'li.iiciitl..- :,(!:. ted for its plant food to be available for crop pro duction next yr.iv. In 1 1 absence of severe frost tin- surface may crust over, but t!:i surl'aee will be easily broken and tbe who'..- soil be made into a line seed be v.-'.ih eitl.er a disk har row or a si.a;-ti t i itlio 1 spike harrow, ii tul this aiid tional w-a-kiiig will great ly conduce tj tie v. ell doing .of the crop by making mure of the plant food available.
