A Farmers' Voice correspondent describes three tools used to maintain dirt roads in Missouri. The grader costs 200 to 500 dollars and is used to roll up roads, especially in spring or fall. The road drag, built from split logs, levels rough spots and fills ruts with one or two teams pulling in tandem. The field harrow, though less effective, helps pulverize clods and smooth depressions when roads are dry. Neighbors using these tools can keep roads in good shape most of the year, except during heavy rains.
