Strangely enough the solution of the problem of providing such im proved roads to furnish the farmer with proper transportation facil ities between farm and market, has been aided by the “mud shake” machine, employed in one of the basic laboratory tests developed in the Arlington, Va„ laboratories of the U. S. Bureau of Public Hoads. The test provides a method of determining the proportions of sand, clay, silt and other materials in road soils A first step in thi3 method of soil analysis is to obtain a thorough dispersion of the sample in distilled water by the use of the special “mud shake” machine.

The moisture-re taining quality of the soil is among the most Important factors. It is the presence of a moisture film be tween the soil particles that holds them together and provides stabil ity. The extent to which soils de velop moisture film cohesion is largely dependent upon the ma terials of which they are composed. Increasing use of chemical ad mixtures such as calcium chloride —a substance which when spread on the road surface slows down evaporation and draws additional moisture from the air—has played an important part in the rapid de velopment of sand, sand-clay and gravel roads that provide a hard, smooth surface, virtually a ‘‘soil concrete”, at low cost. The road shown at the right, in Onondaga County, N. Y„ is a typical example of such calcium chloride treated highways. Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Pugh, of Mill boro, visited Mrs. Pugh’s children here Sunday.
