The use of elevating grader* is
sometimes desir.ible in the construc-
tion of eart a roads. The essential fea-
tures of this machine are a plow’ with
a heavy moldboard, an elevating belt,
a suitable frame for supporting the
plow and belt and driving and adjust-
ing niechan sins for operating the belt
and controlling the work. The plow
loosens the material and throws it
onto the belt, which conveys and de-
posits It either in the roadbed
wagons.
Elevating graejsrs are adapted
petially to building up embankments
with material excavated from shallow
borrow ditches along each side of the
road. They also may be used to ad-
vartage in excavating long, shallow,
through cuts and loading the material
thus excavated into wagons for use
in building up embankments at other
joints. The latter use, however, is
restricted to situations where there Is
sufficient space to operate the grader
and at the same time afford passage-
way for the teams and wagons to fol-
low under the end of the belt to re-
ceive the successive loads as the
grader is drawn forward.
Operating Elevating Grader.
It is customary to employ a trac-
tion engine tor operating the elevating
grader, though teams are used some-
time*. Ordiaarliy, the machine may
be operated successfully either with
a 25-horse power tractor or with 12
well-trained horseu.
The rate at which earth can be ex-
cavated with an elevatiag grader is
relatively very hi?h when conditions
are favorable and the grader C9.n be
kept moving. But there are a number
of rather complica ted parts about such
a machine which sometimes get out
of order, and the work also is usually
hampered by manj’ unforeseen contin-
gencies, such as ‘ bogging” of the
wheels, choking of the plow or the
elevator belt, occurrence of buried
Stumps or stones in the excavation,
etc. For these reasons the actual ca-
pacity of elevating graders, considered
over a long period, seldom is more
than about one-third or one-half the
rated capacity, and where the material
Is lotided into wagons as it is excavat-
■wl the actual capacity of the machine
:ouy be reduced still further. Elevat-
ing graders of the size used ordinarily
in road work have :i rated capacity of
about 1(10 cubic yards per hour.
Use of Scrapers. Wagons, Etc.
To grade a road of any considerable
length, no matter where it is located,
usually will re^juire a considerable
amount of work with devices other
then the grading machine and elevat-
ing grader. The latter machine, as
jircvinuKly explained, may be very eco-
nomical for social conditions to
which they are adapted. But these
special conditions seldom prevail for
zuore than comparatively short
stretches of roac without sections in-
tervening which require that a rela-
tively Urge volume of material be
moved from excavation to embank-
ment within a distance of only a few
hundred feet. Figure 1 shows a typi-
cal cross section for an earth road,
where Jie grading machine hardly
could be used advantageously except
for finishing the road surface. To ac-
complish work of this kind econom-
ically. the devices for loosening, load-
ing and hauling the material must all
be adapted to turning around quickly
in a sid” 11 space and, not infrequently,
must b< such as to be handled read’ly
user very rough ground. Such imple-
ments as wagons, wheeled scrapers,
dreg scrapers and plows therefore
should form a part of the equipment
on practically all road-grading proj-
ets.
The choice of projier implements to
employ in moving material from ex-
cavation to embankment depends, first,
cn the nature and quantity of the
material to be moved, and, second, on
the length of haul. In general, where
t ie material consists of earth it is
loosened with plows and the econom-
ical method of hauling is fixed by the
haul length about as follows:
For lengths of haul not exceeding
feet, drag scrapes; for lengths of
haul between 150 feet and 600 feet,
wheeled scrapers; for lengths of haul
<al*ove 600 feet, wagons. Where the
material consists of solid rock it must
be loosened by drilling and blasting
azid practically always is hauled in
wagons or carts, regardless of the haul
length.

Use Wheeled Scrapers.
Wheeled scrapers are used to a
greater extent in road grading than
either drag scrapers or wagons. The
reason for this is that in road work the
haul length falls, m -.‘frequently than
otherwise, within tbe limits for which
wheeled scrapers are economical. Sev-
eral different -izes of such scrapers are
in ordinary use but the size employed
most commonly has an actual load
speculator.

follows:
“Since the southern portion of th? '
cotton belt has begun to market Its
