Roatl Drainage.
With wet or clayey roadways, sur-
face drainage alone is not sufficient
Without underdrainage the crown of
such roadways will dry only by the
Blow process of evaporation, during
which time the topping becomes more
and more rutted by the passing traffic.
A subdrain in such soils will not prove
efficient for more than about twelve
feet on each side; hence, two lines of
longitudinal subdrains are needed on
those parts of our country roads that
pass through wet places, low-lying
lands or clayey soils. They should
have an average fall of about one In
one hundred; minimum fall, one In one
thousand. At short Intervals, gay from
thirty-six to one hundred feet apart,
are placed cross drains to discharge the
water into the side ditches. These
cross drains receive a greater fall, say
up to one in thirty. Generally two and
one-half to three-inch pipes are suffi-
cient. It is advantageous to bed these
tiles In well-rammed brick fragments
and to cover them with road metal.
Be certain that the tiles are correctly
laid and that nothing interferes with
their free discharge. As said before,
jnglazed round tiles, about three inches
n diameter and, under certain condi-
tions, jointed with loose collars, are
most suitable for subdrains. The bot-
:om of the tiles should be laid both to
he proper grade and below the frost
line, after which the tile trench is
llled up to subgrade with clean gravel,
<mall field stonen, road metal, or
broken bricks. The cross drains are
also made of unglazed tiles, with the
Insects are more injur-
ious to the strawberry than are
diseases, and among the most destruc-
tive of these are the various species of
May beetles (Lachnosterna). One or
more species of these insects abound
everywhere and the larva or grubs,
commonly known as white grubs, with-
out regard to species, are all destruc-
tive to the roots of various plants, es-
pecially those of the strawberry. The
grubs are usually more numerous in
old dry pastures or meadows. If the
ground is thoroughly cultivated for a
few years previous to planting it to
strawberries, the grubs are not likely
to be troublesome. All May beetles fly
in the night and may be taken by a
light placed over a tub of water. Birds
and domestic fowls are the strawberry
grower's most efficient helpers in de-
stroying these insects. The strawberry
leaf-roller, the larva of a small reddish
brown moth, is a small worm which
feeds on the leaves of the strawberry
and causes them to roll up. There are
two broods during the year, the first
In June, the second In September. The
remedy is to cut and burn the vines
after harvest. There are many other
insects which attack the strawberry,
but if the vines are always burned after
harvest and thorough rotation of crops
is practiced, diseases and insects will
seldom become very'injurious.—A. M.
Ten Eyck.
The annual report of the Colorado
Agricultural College says:
This grass has been growing on the
station land since 1891. Spring sowings
each year have been made. One plat,
where the snow was blown away, yield-
ed 211 pounds of seed and 3,000 pounds
of hay per acre; another plat, upon
which the sand drifted to a depth of
from six to eight inches, yielded 2,068
pounds, per acre, of excellent hay. The
latter plat is the oldest one on the
grounds. Still another plat has been
pastured two seasons. In an exposed
position, this plat has shown that bro-
mus inermls grass can be pastured
without injury to the sod. This grass
grows from four to six inches the first
year, producing very few seed stalks.
At the end of the first season each seed
will make a stool from two to six inches
square. One seed produced a plant that
in three seasons covered between 700
and 800 square Inches of surface. This
grass is of high value for cow feeding,
as but little grain is used in connection
with it.
