That interest in the goc ads
movement throughout the country is
increasing rather than diminishing is
shown by results of a census of bond
issues contemplated and authorized "or
litghwny construction just completed by
the Asphalt association of New York
The figures stiow that a total of $781,-
228,384, In bond issues, exclusive of
federal aid, were reported under eon
templation In the states, counties
townships and road districts of the
country from August 1, 1022, to Au
gust 1, 1923, and that the sum of $017,-
029,537 was actually authorized to be
expended.
The amount reported as contem
plated exceeded the $748,503,000 con
templated during the year previou.. by
$32,075,384, and the sum authorized ex
ceeded that of the year before by
$75,304,757. The bond issues author
ized from August 1, 1921, to August 1,
1922, amounted to $541,724,780.
“For some time,” said J. E. Penny-
backer, secretary of the Asphalt as-
siciation, “among good roads advo
cates, the opinion has prevailed seem
ingly that the public demand for im
proved roads is not now as great ns in
previous years. That the exact re
verse is the case Is shown by the in
vestigations we have made. Not only
Is the demand for good roads increas
ing practically everywhere, but there
Is a much greater demand for the
finest types of hard surfaced high
ways, such ns shoot asphalt am) as
phaltic concrete. Last year 82,000,(XX)
square yards of asphalt highways
were constructed in tills country. 1’iie
reports we ure now receiving indicate
that asphalt construction tills year
will far exceed that figure,”
That the greatest Interest in good
roads is to he found in the South at
present is indicated by the fact that
Virginia led all other states In con
templated Improvements. Tennessee
was second and Texas third. Penn
sylvania ranked fourth. The last
named state, however, led the country
In the amount of money actually au
thorized to he expended. Illinois was
second in tills respect, Florida was
third and California fourth.
Field Culvert Built to
Decrease Surface Water
Heavy ruins do a lot of damage In
the fields. The ditches are often deep
ened until it is Impossible to cross
them witli furm Implements, and aside
from this inconvenience, the ditches
usually ran at angles, making waste
land and, In fields that are cultivated,
a number of point rows.
The illustration shows how un Indi
ana farmer overcomes the difficulty;
A Simple Field Culvert on an Indiana
Farm.
he always has a good crossing, the
ditch Is kept open for drainage of sur
face water and the velocity of the
running water is decreased until it
does not have the cutting action that it
would have If It were totally unob-
structed.
An old tile is imbedded in concrete
to allow the passage of the water. The
surface of the concrete Is creased to
insure good footing.
Rapid Transportation Is
Possible by Paved Roads
Paved roads and dairying go hand in
hand. As more improved roads are
constructed, milk routes are extended
and the farmer farther from the city
is provided with a market for his milk.
Over unimproved routes, requiring
wagon delivery, the longest route pos
sible Is only approximately 15 miles,
while over paved highways, traveled by
motortrucks, routes covering as high
as 40 miles are established. Large
areas of prospective dairy country are
waiting only the construction of more
hard-surfaced roads. When these are
built many more farmers, now cut off
from their market, will receive the
benefit of tlte economical and rapid
transportation made possible by the
motortruck and the paved highway.
