Among the welcome visitors to Washington today is Mr. 0. M. John-1 Ston of Booth Creek. N. C.. who ar~> rived here today via the gas boat Victor. Mr. Johnston speaks very encouragingly aa to the crop prospects 'In his section of the county and unless something unforseen happens the farmers In the South Creek section will have no cause to complain nor murmur. Mr. Johnston expect** to return to his home this afternoon | He Is always a welcome visitor to r Washington and. his many Monde I are glad to see him. apest Way to eftain High Roads t die runners, It le possible to make their ende follow approximately the same line on the road, which they would not do If they were set directly behind each other and the drag drawn-at an angle with the road In order to provide standing room for the man, it la venal to nail two boards down upon the rungs parallel to the runners. Standing upon these a skillful driver will bear his weight in such a way as to aid moterially in the successful operation of the drag. The drag (a drawn by a chain which should be about 8 feet long. This can be fastened by eyebolt* to each end of the front runner, or one endvof the chain can pass thro a hole at the discharge end of tho front runner, and the other end be looped over the rung at the cutting end of the runner. -It Is Important that the hitching link should be sc designed that lis position can b? changed readily. It is also desirable to provide a metal cutting edge foi the front runner. This can be made from a strip of iron or steel, a id old wagon tires bare frequently proved satisfactory. .{ The cost of such a drag variei from $2.00 to perhaps $10.00 or $12 This practically Insignificant outlay will secure an implement that wil "be of great service to the community for at least three or four years. Th* fact cannot be overlooked, however that skill In the use of the drag li ; Indispensable. The angle that the runners makt with the center of the road, the ek"^ aqgle as it might be called. Is an lot i portant factor. For example. If th< , .dragging is done to Increase tin crown of the road, the drag shoult be sufficiently skewed to discharge ; all material ae rapidly as it la col i lecled on the runners. On the othei ; hand, the conditions may be sue! that It is desirable to carry along tbl . material In order to deposit It Wher< ' there are depressions in the road' > surface. An latelltgeflt operate: (. will soon learn many ways pf con : trolling the action of the drag. Ttv I length of tho hitching chain, tb > disposition of the operator's weight I the time when the draggin sis done i all these exert a marked Influence k upon the results. ; As to 'the thne for dragging, a saf - rule to fpllow Is to drag the roai . when the material composing th ?- surface contains sufficient molstur t to compact readUy, bt)t Is not suffl . clently wet for traffic to produc 1 mud. b Since the wfcattier plays so impor I Unt a part in the matter. It Is no 9 usually poeethle to arrange oontinc > ous employment for teams on th s road.
