Why County Fairs Offer Good Open ings For Starting Reform. One of the most practical sugges tions yet offered tor the creation of j sen! iincut for good roads is that, put j forward a.s follows in tho Metropoli tan Magazine: "The county fair offers a peculiarly | 1:00 t opening for slivrting reform. ! Hero are gathered the brain and sinew j of the community—intent, it is true, on j diversion and recreation, but equally i alive to tho material benefits to be de- j lived from the umiuHas meetings i where a free interchange of ideas is j insured. Secure some good •, | make it known by circular or through ! the columns of the county and town j papers that the good roads problem at tin.- next county fair is to be discussed , b.v local talent and by men trained in j the actual field work of this impor- : taut business. There will be no.difli-i cully In securing interested audiences, and it will be tho exception if results are not manifested either in the change of feeling or in the organiza tion of a reform movement. Meetings of boards of trade, granges, both state and local; educational conventions, chambers of commerce and such func tions are also good starting points for elective work in the good roads move- j ment," Public spirited thinkers whose ] minds can transcend tlie needs of the | immediate present, says the Atlanta j Constitution, are impressed with the i wisdom of pushing the propaganda! far good roads side by side with that : for better transportation facilities by ! rail or water. What will it avail to double track ! trunk systems and construct more in- j dividual lines and deepen navigable , rivers if wo make aocess to them i along the country roads difficult, slow and expensive? The county lair is an established j institution in Georgia in as great a ' degree as the other popular meetings iii which reference is made in the foregoing excerpt. If the importance of good roads is j made a topic of discussion at such j gatherings and at such state wide as semblages as that comprised in the Atlanta interstate fair the substan tial progress legitimately expected hardly lends iisclf to computation. PREVENTIVE OF DUST. Calcium Chloride Tried on a Road in Washington. it. ieials of the agricultural depart ment have made experiments with the use of calcium chloride as a dust pre ventive, and the tests were attended with great success. A stretch of road in the city of Washington was select ed tor tin- trial, and in preparation for the treatment all dust and dirt were scraped from the surface of the load way. A solution was prepared by mix ing 1500 pounds of commercial calcium chloride (granular, containing 75 per cent calcium chloride and 25 per cent i moi ture) with BUO gallons of water in an ordinary street sprinkler, care being taken to agitate the liquid tlior oughly before applying it to insure a uniform solution. It was then applied from one sprinkling head, the sprin kler passing slowly back and forth over the road to facilitate the com plete atfcorption of the solution. Each application consisted of 000 gallons over an area of 1,582 square yards, or 0.38 gallons per square yard. A marked improvement in the condi tion of the road was noted at once, and after the second treatment it was necessary to repeat the operation only at i olatcd spots. The use of the wa ter wagon, which had before made regular trips over the lir d. was aban doned as re ie -e ary.

It..' a luoii tei I steam roller, with a diTiible row ot i : spikes la one of i'ie wheels, and tlio | | function of the contrivance is to loosen i up the old mail-rial in the roadway, i i preparatory to covering it with at j fresh coating of crushed steno.

When the pum-hei i i has been rolled along the road until the j | rows of holes reach the width of the j j driveway it presents the appearance i lof a sheet of perforated postage > ! stamps, and the whole operation lias j ■ j to be explained for the benefit of the I onlookers. GOOD ROAD CONGRESS. I Purpose and Features cf the Interna- 1 tionai Gathering at Paris. Colonel Charles S. Kromwell, Clif- , ford liiclni i dsoil and William i'ag. 1 ] have been appointed by President I I Itoosex - elt to represent the United 1 States at the international road eon- j | gross to be held in Paris during Oeto- j ! ber, 1008. Napoleon was a-great advocate of j road building, and since his time | ! France has spent between X),o0o.- ; ; 000 and ;?i!f*),Ooo p ui'H) on her highways. ! The advent of the automobile has j j proved a serious menace to the sur- | ; face of tho roads, and the purpose of ! I this congress is to hear opinions of ! experts on the subject and to con -1 dense tliein into-a practical idea of the ■ tix itmeut aud care of the surface of a road* ! This congress, to which the goverti ; incuts of the various nations have j been otlleiaily invited t» a uh' I : I resentatives, will be opened Oct. 11 and will be in se.-siou seven dajs It is proposed during the life of the | congress to give several festivals in 1 I'aris and also excursions, one par ! ticularly to Nice, to enable the liiem bers to visit especially fitted up roads or roads in course of preparation, j The United States government has j made several tests at Washington late- i I ly, principally by taking photographs I jof the clouds of dr.st raised by each j automobile, going at different, rate:, of speed at from five to sixty miles lan hour. These dust clouds were : weighed in order to determine how i much of tho surface of the road was ! taken off by a motor going at an ex -1 eessivo rate of speed. This point and , a number of others which have been ascertained by the government of lb. ■ Tidied Stales undoubtedly will b> j brought to tlie attention of the con- I gress by duo of th ■ American reprc | sentafives, and it is more than likely j that Colonel Rromwell will read a pa ! per. SPLIT LC3 DRAG EFFECTIVE. Keavy Rains Give Implement a Fine Chance to Prove Itself. I The lie;, ey fall of rain that the lied | liver valley and northern Minnesota i experienced recently proves beyond ! doubt the extreme cllicaey of the split log drag as a -■ oil ro : imaUer. The streets of Thief Kiver Falls and many of the rural highways leading into the |cily have been con i Uontly worked by ! these drags for two years. There- I suits wet'e most apparcut and strik j ing tlie other week, just folloxving the j heavy rains. Iu spite.of the amount of traffic that the streets of Thief ltiver Falls carry daily, they are in excellent con dition. nicely graded and as hard as a paved sir"(M. The country roads that have been dragged for two years ma lts pa-sable as during the driest sea son in summer, while the roads tha: have not been worked by the drags 'are almost impassable. Novel Highway Proposed. ; A novel proportion has been made j for the beautificatlon of tlie highway ! lietwscu Thermal and Co.achella. in j California, a distance of three miles. ! The waste waters from the Coachelln | ici plant, are diverted along this lilgli- I way and extend almost to Thermal be ' fore they are absorbed by the soil, j says the Los Angeles Times. The I proposition is now made that tig tree< be set aloug the highway, on the water • ;'i;eh, where they would lie kept grow ing by the waste water. Within a ' ; year these trees come into bearing, and the three mile highway, lined with be.-uing llg trees, would not only be a most attractive drive, but might be mule to yield a profit for road im provement.
