On Using the Road Drag.
The state highway engineer of
Washington has sent broadcast
over that state instructions for
dragging the earth roads this fall
and winter. He says:
"With the fall rains comes the
times when the need for main
tenance on earth roads becomes
very apparent, and the split log
'drag can be used to the best
advantage.
"Drag the road when the soil
is moist and mellow, but not
J when it is dry and sticky. The
earth should move freely along
the sides of the slab. If the
! road-way is extremely full of ruts
! and holes, it is best to drag once
| when the surface is slushy. Clay
1 and water, when puddled in an
, intimate mixture, becomes tough
and impervious to water, and
| will gradually get hard if com
pact in this condition.
"It has been shown that this
puddled earth, when compressed
and dried, become extremely
hard. On these facts rest the
- value of dragging the road.
When road dragging is proper
ly done, it produces a smooth
surface, filling up the ruts, holes
and hollow places. As a small
amount of material is always
pjshed to the center of the road,
the surface will present an even,
round appearance, over which
the water will readily drain; and
subsequent dragging will
more elective, and will result in
a better maintained surface.
"As water is the natural
enemy of a road, two things
should be kept in mind—the
shiping of the road so that it
will shed water, and the water
proofing qualities of the material
in the road to the end that the
minimum amount cf moisture
will soak into roadbed.
"Because of the loose character
of the material of which earth
! roads are composed, running
i water will soon wash awav the
dirt and form gu'lies. On the
other hand, standing water
saturates and softens the surface.
Experience has proved that drag-j
ging the road is one of the best
means that can be used in im
provement of these conditions."

Speculators Caught
f With Surplus ot Eggs.
r ; New York, Nov. 22. Big \
I "egg kings" of the United
States, who planned to reap a,
s harvest of profits by selling ship
loads of eggs to the allies, are
. wig-wagging the uu'jlic for'
; help.
t The allies failed to make
heavy purchases of eggs in this
i country this fall, and the specu-
I |
I I lators are caught with a surplus
, of eggs on their hands, with the
, prospects of a mild winter. In
, twenty-four big cold storage
3 warehouses in the United States
j lie more than 1,000,000,000 eggs, j
fl or more than ten apiece for;
, every man, woman and child in j
. the country.
I
j Unless the housewives of the
country come to their rescue and
buy cold-storage eggs, wholesale
. men declared here, several big
II egg men face prospects of
, i financial ruin.
, I The price of cold-storage eggs
are 2 cents lower a dozen than
|on the same day last year. The
: market is wobbling badly. A
J few more weeks of mild weather!
may send millions of dozens of I
cold-storage eggs tumbling into:
the market and force the retai ,
prices down with a crash. !,
! It is possible, wholesale men I
said, that cold-storage eggs may [
be selling at less than 20 cents f
a dozen, retail. The price in |
New York now ranges from 20 to I
ot'» cents.
George E. Cutler, Greenwich
, street egg dealer, admitted that
the egg men had expected to sell
large supplies of eggs to British
agents. But heavy war mu
nitions shipments and a scarcity
, of merchant vessels boosted ship
ping rates out of sight and made
. it unprofitable to send bulky car
goes of eggs to England.
Instead of sharing in the
profits of the ammunition makers,
the eggmen today find themselves
j with about 538,000 more cases
of cold-storage eggs on their
! hands at this time than they had
last year and no great depiand
for them.
Killing Big Hogs.
Mr. John Williams, of Mead
ows, was here Monday and re
ported that some big porkers
were being killed in his section.
Mr. Charlie Williams killed two
Saturday which weighed 528,
while Mr. Riley Turner killed
one at the same time which
weighed 482.
