te —_: RISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA. MONDAY, AUGUST 31, 1931 ‘Traffic Census Map’ Shows Hov: N. D. Travel Is Distributed HIGHWAY TRAFFIC IN STATE DROPPED THIS YEAR, CENSUS SHOWS Research Engineer Describes How Check-up Affects N. D. Expenditures Traffic on state highways has de- creased 10.9 per cent since last year, according to figures announced Mon- day by J. N. Roherty, research e gineer for the state highway depart- ment, Traffic counts were taken at 333 stations throughout the state during 1930 and 1931 and the results furnish the basis of Mr, Roherty's study. Foreign cars dropped off 17.4 per cent since last year, the figures show. U. 8. Highway No. 10 around Bis- marck, and U. S. Highway No. 83 as far as Linton show an increase, as does U. 8. Highway No. 81 from Fargo to Grand Forks, Traffic in the drought areas of northwestern North Dakota shows a decrease. The purpose of the traffic count is not simply to know the number of vehicles using state roads, Mr. Roher- ty explained. “The traffic count,” he added, “is taken only once a year, during the first part-of August. At the heavier traveled points the count is taken for six days, At the majority of points, however, the count is taken or only one day. The count is from 6 a. m, until midnight. “The traffic count is the basis for determing the advisability of many of our expenditures. More intensive maintenance is required where traf- fic is heavy. The traffic count is the basis for prorating maintenance money. “The wear on gravel is pretty much dependent on the amount of traffic. “On our heavier traveled roads we find that there is approximately rain 6 ea 1 eo feat ae cubic yard of gravel worn out on each mile for each vehicle per day of traf- fic. If we have 500 vehicles per day of traffic the loss will be a little over 250 cubic yards of gravel worn out and blown away on-each mile in a year. On lighter traveled roads this ratio does not hold true. There the loss is higher per vehicle. This shows that rain and wind, and possibly some other factors enter into gravel traffic. From data collected this way we can estimate the amount of re- graveling that must be provided for. It is also the basis for determing the locations where paving or surface treatments will save the people's money. We know that a vehicle can be operated on a good bituminous surfaced road for approximately a cent a mile less than on a graveled road. When the saving to traffic, plus the savings in worn out gravel and the saving in maintenance costs is greater than the cost of a surface treatment, then the surface treatment is a paying investment. We have set a limit of 500 vehicles per day (Aug- ust count) as our present limit, but if funds were available we could afford to lower this limit. “Snow removal is another under- taking of the department that must be based on traffic. Even earth grad- ing must consider traffic.” CARSON SCHOOL OPENING SET Carson, N.

D., Aug. 31—@)— Many of the “star boarders” in Pem- bina county poultry flocks have been “taken for a ride” lately as a result of a concerted campaign by Howard Lewis, county agent, In one flock Lewis said he culled out which were returning any income to their owner, yet all were eating as much feed as though they were lay- ing heavily. By careful culling he raisers are being increased 30 to 40 per cent. M’Lean Farmers Plan To Buy Breeding Ewes Washburn, N. D., Aug. 31—(7)— Many McLean county farmers are laying plans to take advantage of the present low price of breeding ewes, according to A. L. Norling, county agent, who said some of the farmers who have sufficient grain supplies will probably buy lambs for feeding. Approximately 100 farmers attend- ed a meeting at Turtle Lake recently where arrangements for the pur- chasing and financing of the stock were considered. A demand for be- tween five and 10 carloads of sheep was indicated, Norling stated. HAZELTON HAS 13 TEACHERS Hazelton, N.
