King Drag Theory for Dirt Road Improvement
A Rural Free Delivery article endorses D Ward King’s drag method to improve dirt roads. It explains how to build a drag from a log or plank, hitch four horses, and drag at a forty five degree angle to fill ruts, smooth the surface, and widen the road over successive rains. It cites Mr Vaught’s success near Jasper and notes wide adoption across Missouri with state support and a rail company publicity effort.
