THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



of a concrete road near Mason City, Iowa. The 

 concrete has been placed between rigidly staked 

 side forms. The road is then troweled with wooden 

 floats. The finished road presents a smooth and 

 admirable surface. This type of road appeals 

 especially to the farmer and his family, because 

 it provides them at all seasons with an ex- 

 cellent place to walk as well as a thoroughfare for 

 vehicles. It is a fact that in Wayne county, Michi- 

 gan, children go to and from school on roller skates 

 over the wonderful concrete roads of that locality. 

 Horses never slip or fall upon these roads and will 

 draw twice or three times their accustomed load. 

 In Wayne county one farmer has driven an unshod 

 horse over the concrete roads for a long period of 

 time without injury to the animal. It is needless to 



say torrential rains cannot wash through these 

 roads. The water must go over or under them. 

 Another especially good feature of the concrete road 

 is its freedom from dust as well as mud. Where- 

 ever farmers have used these roads they are en- 

 thusiastic in their commendation, not only because 

 of their great durability and low maintenance cost, 

 but because in every sense they represent the ideal 

 highway and, therefore, the solution of the road 

 problem as it applies to rural communities.
