By LOGAN WALLER PAGE, Director Office of Public Roads, United States Department oi Agriculture. Copyright by American Press Asso ciation, 1912. SAND-CLAY road Is composed of sand and clay mixed in such proportions as to form a compact and firm support to traffic. The perfect sand-clay road should be neither sticky nor sandy, The sand and clay may form a natural mixture, in which case tbe road is termed a "natural sand-clay road." The two materials may have become mixed in the fields along the road by MIXINO THE EAr AND CLAY. successive cuitivauou of the soil, and if this soil is used in the construction of a road it is known as "top soil road." There are many varieties of clay and consequently a vide variation in the characteristics of a sand-clay road. The quality of the sand is a variable factor, as it may range all tbe way from fine, dust-like particles to coarse grains and gravel uud may be perfect ly clean or mixed with loam and other material. In consequence of these wide differences in the materials constitut ing sand-clay roads it is impossible to maintain a uniform standard as tc quality Of the road or methods of construction. Not all but most sand consists of tiny grains of quartz. While quartz is one of tbe hardest minerals known, it possesses practically no binding or cementing power. The grains of sand, instead of cohering in a tough mass under the impact of traffic and the ac tion of water, remain loose aa-1 shift ing. Fine sand when dry is easily displaced by the wind, which pro duces in this way the ever shifting sand hills. No rond Is so difficult to travel as one through fine sand. If clay has linen enrried in small quantities by ninning water and de posited as pediment It Is known ns "sedlniputnvy oli'.v." If the fe is;inthlc rocJt has bt".:i flv'.-. ; . lvu'd iu piire by water the clay U knewn t:s "residual clay." The sedimentary clay. h;ivln?i- been carried in tin fVrin of line par ticles, is finer T.-.!nd thua ih rtrjdu.il clay nnd is rnorc siie'iy tvv.l plnstx. Iu contrast veiih s.md, which possesses no binding power, but is very hard. clay is a powerful Under, but does not possess the quality of hardness. It is evident that in the construction of a sand-clay road the important property In the clay is its plasticity or tendency to become sticky and elastic when mixed with water. Theclays which are most plastic are called "ball clays." Another important property which Is possessed by clays In widely varying degrees is the porosity or ca pacity for rapid absorption of water. Clays which possess this quality In the highest degree fall to pieces under the action of water. These clays are called "slaking clays." It will read ily be seen that tbe plastic or ball clays will form a better and more powerful binder for sand-clay roads than will the slaking clays; but. on the other hand, they will be much more 'difficult to mix. as they c'.ih:t;;;::itt' with far less rapidity. The Bhrinkpce of elar i nn Impor tant characterlsr-c in cinne-tlnn with the builuiiii? of riouU When water is mixed with clay p::pr:i;:'!i :! r,-r,'.tg,.and when the wrtrr cv.ipir.-.ioi '.!:e clay contracts. This ch.'r.-a-'mVtie of ex pansion is much more pronounced In some clays than in others, nnd it must be sppnrent that tb clays which ex pand the least nre preferable for road building. The theory of the sand-clny road Is very similar to the theory of the mac adam rond. In the latter rock dust and screenfh? fill the voids between the angular fragments of stone and when wet serve as a cement or bnder. The grains of sand may be likened to the angular fragments of stone and clow to fthe rock dust tUnder. In the most successful snnr-clay rond Just a sufficient amount of day is used to fill the voids between the grains of sand. In this way the sand nustains the wear, while the clay serves as a binder. If too much sand la nsed tb result will be loose sand on the ear face; If too much clay Is used the sur face of the road will become sticky after rains. , The best mixture of sand and clay can be made when the materials are wet, and particularly is this true of the plastic or ball clays. If the clay Is a plastic or ball clay much greater effort will be necessary to obtain a complete mixture; if it la a slaking clay the mixture will be ; much more readily obtained. This kind of clay is not as satisfactory, I however, as the ball clay, as its bind-' ins powers are murh less. In select-' ing clay for rond purposes it Is always best to select the stickiest clay avail able. A common test is to wet the thumb and place it against a piece of clav. If the rlnv will not srlplr tn tha thumb it Is safe to assume that it will be a poor binder in a snnd-elay road. As the desirable proportions of sand aud cluy are such that the particles of clay barely fill the voids between tbe grains of sard, it is well in determin ing the minuli:y ot clay to be applied to a sand roail or ami-1 to be applied to a cluy road to know approximately how! much is needed. A simple method for determining the relative quantity is to take two glasses of the same size and fill one with dry sand which it is proposed to use and the other with wa ter. The water should then be poured carefully iu the glass of sand and al lowed to trickle down through the sand until it reaches the bottom of the glass. When the water has been poured into the glass of sand to the point Of over flowing wp may assume that the voids between the ,';:v!::s of sand have been filled, and consequently the amount of water taken from the full glass would . represent Hie volume of clay needed to fill the va'An i:i a volume of saud equal to that l:i.t'ie orhur siss. It is better to use a ll;:'o 1ssm clay than would ap pear to be i"?trs:ir.v, as the tendency is to c verbs'; hump tt-.o amount needed. Good d:,.n?:i:','r-j U the most essential feature cf tlic s:ni.l-Hny rond Just as it is of all other types of road. A sandy or gravelly koII iifTords betf - natural drainage. c.r.A if the sand Is present to an cscepllonr.l extent the only provi- 1 sion ncrcssarr fr;r drainage will be to ' crown the s-jvre of the road in tha nie manner r.s prescribed for earth, gravel or mncftdam roads. If the road Is locntcl !;in?h land that Is so low as to lie continually wet it will be.nec ssavy In addition to crowning the road to provide wi !e ditches on each side and U raise the roadbed a little higher than tin sr.rronrdtnjr country. Aflcr proper drainage has been se cured the roadbed should be crowned beginning ue::r the source of supply ol the clay or sand. The clay should then be spread to a depth of from six to elglu J'K-Iips in the. center, sloping off gn lnai:; to a thin layer at the sides. I'pcn the clay should be placed a thin covering of sand. If the clay is of (he plastic kind it will then be necessary to plow and harrow it, ad vantage being taken of rains to puddle the surface with a disk harrow. Sand should he gradually added until the surface of the road ceases to ball and cake. If the clay Is placed on sand to a depth of six Inches n cubic yard of clay will cover fifty-four lineal feet; consequently a sixteen foot rond treat ed, iu this manner would require one cubic yard of clay for each throe feet of length. A mile of sixteeu foot road would therefore require 1,700 ' cubic yards of clay. If the clay subsoil Is to be treated with sand it should be plowed and harrowed to a depth of about fonr inches. On this prepared subsurface V should be placed fronj six to eight inches of clean sand, spread thickest at the center nnd sloping to the sides in much the same manner ns the clay Is applied to a sand road. These ma terials should then be mixed dry in stead of he wet mixing, which is sand. This is preferable because the clay can bo better pulverized when in a dry state. After dry mliing the road should be puddled following the first heavy rain. When the materials are thoroughly mixed and puddled a road my- v mm:-: mmmmrm sir?'- v v;::-';.:.:.'-iji:v::;;:.",-: ;;;? fen :1T IVi'v"' '.-.: : Si?"?

In 1004 there were ortv 2.000 mllasL of sarid-clay roads In the United States, but nt the present time there mi tj proximately 23,000 miles.
