IMPORTANCE OF DRAINAGE GOOD ROADS CANNOT BE BUILT WITHOUT IT. Thoughtful Paper Sent Out By the United States Office of Public Roads—Will Soon Issue a Bulletin on Concrete Drains. With an average of 27,000 tons of water falling in the form of rain on each mile of public road in the United States annually, it is scarcely to be marvelled at that the ten commandments of the road builder can be summed up succinctly in the word "drainage." The saying has truth for a basis, as good drainage is the primary requisite for all roads. Even in sand roads this holds true for there good drainage means such as will safely remove the storm water without erosion or gullying and still retain the surface moisture. To secure good drainage one must take into consideration both the surface water and the underground water. The surface water must be removed quickly and completely and without subjecting the road to excessive scour or erosion. For this reason the center of the road should be raised and the slope toward the side ditches should be from one-half to one inch to each foot distance, or so that the water will run freely to the side ditches and not flow down the road or remain in puddles on the roadway. The side ditches should be of ample size to care for the severest storms with a fall of not less than six inches to each 100 feet. Frequent and ample cross drains should be constructed and every opportunity live should lower the water level not less than three feet below road surface. If tiles are used should be carefully laid, true grade. Most failures in tile drain can be attributed to careless laying, or too flat grade. Tiles than four inches in diameter rarely be used, nor should a grades than six inches to the 10th be used unless absolutely necessary. In a very dense soil it is always visible to cover the tile to allow a depth of six to twelve inches coarse sand or fine gravel. Should always be taken to see free outlet for the drains and to detect the outlet with a concrete head or catchbasin, which can also be kept clean and the outlet. The kind of tile to be used depends on local conditions. Concrete if properly made, are equally as clay tile. Which kind to entirely a local question of cost and cents. If concrete tile can made more cheaply than clay tile be had, use concrete; if not, use tile. One great advantage of concrete tile is that they can be easily by the local users at or near place where they are to be placed so that the freight charges are pensed with as well as the breakage due to handling. Placed the ground both are durable.crete is used, great care should taken to see that a good gravel Portland cement is selected, and the drains are properly constructed. The impression, which prevails some extent that tile disintegrates is erroneous. A bulletin is now in course of publication by the United States of public roads telling how to construct drains. This bulletin be raised and the slope toward the side ditches should be from one-half to one inch to each foot distance, or so that the water will run freely to the side ditches and not flow down the road or remain in puddles on the roadway. The side ditches should be of ample size to care for the severest storms with a fall of not less than six inches to each 100 feet. Frequent and ample cross drains should be constructed and every opportunity taken to get the water away from the road as quickly as possible. Any road along which you see water standing in the side ditches or on which puddles of water have collected or which has been badly gullied and eroded by the rains has poor drainage and is in need of immediate attention. In fact earth roads nearly always require a little attention after each rain. The split log drag is essentially a tool to maintain good drainage on our earth roads, and should be used after each rain. On a heavy clay or gumbo soil, the drag when properly used, tends to puddle the road service, keep it free from ruts, dense, smooth and hard, thus securing the best surface drainage possible. But in many places the underground water is too near the surface and must be removed before a good road will be possible. This means that some form of sub-drainage must be resorted to, usually tile drains, of clay or concrete. Water from whatever source must be gotten rid of effectively, for water plus clay or gumbo, invariably equals mud when mixed in the spring and summer. Water becomes ice in winter and as water in freezing expands one eighth its volume, the road heaves out of shape and when the ice melts the road disappears beneth the rising tide of mud constantly fed by rains, melting snows and underground springs.

With three assistants from the office of the state forester, Mr. Sellers has been at work in this end of state for several weeks, investing the commercial value of the growing tree. "We have found that the eucalypt is commercially the most valuable tree for lumber that is known," the assistant forester. The faculties it is almost exclusively a California product makes it a tremendous addition to the resources of the "Eucalyptus in fifteen years produce as much lumber of mucor wear ing quality than pine 300 years old.

If tiles are used they are carefully laid, true to the specifications in tile drainage routed to carelessness in too flat grade. Tile less patches in diameter should be laid, nor should a grade of 10 inches to the 100 feet less absolutely necessary. Since soil it is always adjoined the tile to at least six to twelve inches with or fine gravel. Care must be taken to secure a for the drains and to protect with a concrete bulk-basin, which can always be laid and the outlet free. If tile to be used depends on conditions. Concrete tile, made, are equally as good as brick. Which kind to use is local question of dollars.

Mr. Neff Gives Valuable Information Upon Timely Subject. The budding of nursery stock walnut trees has been practised with varying degrees of success for several years, and some work has been done on old trees with the view of changing them to better and more productive varieties. The greater part of the nursery budding has been done in the southern part of the state and almost all of the top budding in the counties bordering on the San Francisco bay. Mr. Pennington of Vacaville has been very successful in budding by cutting buds in the regular shield form about 1¼ inches long, cut from branches ½ to ¾ inches in diameter so as to get wide buds with but little wood left in them. He also prefers to have stocks large and considers a stock 1½ inches diameter not too large. He uses ordinary budding twine for tying but does not use wax to cover the incisions. Says it is best to put off the budding as late as it is possible to get a good flow of sap, as then the weather is likely to be cooler, which is an important factor, and the growing season is about finished, which will allow the twine to be left in place all winter which he considers advisable. When doing the work Mr. Pennington prepares the incision to receive the bud, then cuts the bud, and puts it in place, tying at once. No special preparation of the budding wood is made except that mature buds are taken. About 90 per cent of the buds placed are said to grow. Old trees can be prepared for bud- It conlains great care should be that a good grade of vent is selected, and that are properly constructed.

Call secured. When doing the work Mr. Pennington prepares the incision to receive the bud, then cuts the bud, and puts it in place, tying at once. No special preparation of the budding wood is made except that mature buds are taken. About 90 per cent of the buds placed are said to grow. Old trees can be prepared for budding by cutting back during the preceeding winter so as to induce the growth of young wood, or if grafting has been done and part has failed, the buds can be placed in the shoots. The shield buds are also used by Mr. Keith of Selma, who has made further experiments in preparing the buds before they are cut from the wood. This is done by cutting the leaf stem off at about two to three inches from the wood two or three weeks before the bud is needed. This leaf pruning is supposed to ripen the stem and cause it to fall, leaving the bud smooth and easily tied. It also serves the double purpose of preventing evaporation through the leaf stem which is very severe on a newly placed bud if the weather should be hot with dry winds. The bud is cut 1½ inches long the longer half of the bark being above the bud. The wood is either cut deep, or the bark is cut so as to form an oval of considerable width, and peeled from the wood, in this way differing from the ordinary shield bud which has some wood left under the bud. The buds are forced well down under the bark of the stock, tied with soft twine and all the cuts waxed with soft wax well pressed in. Care is taken that the bud is clear. The branches are cut above the buds the following February and waxed over. A shade was placed over the buds at Selma but this is not necessary unless there should be excessively hot weather. Successful budding has been done by using plate buds, or ring buds, where the cutting was done by a especially made knife, made by taking two knife blades with a block of wood between and riveting the whole securely. In this way the bud will exactly fit where the bark was taken from the stock.

In this way the bud will exactly fit where the bark was taken from the stock. The success of budding depends on having the stock and bud both in vigorous growth and in keeping them in that condition until the proper union has been made. Weather conditions also affect the setting of the buds, since a much larger percentage will grow if the next succeeding days are cool. The twine used should be soft cotton and as large as 12 threads budding twine. The tying should be firm enough to exclude all air from between the bud and stock, but not tight enough to crush the bud. J. B. Neff, Anaheim, Cal.
