Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Rural Highways American Rural Highways was written for use as a text or reference in courses dealing with rural highways and intended for agricultural engineers, students in agriculture and for short courses and extension courses. The reader is assumed to have familiarity with drawing and surveying, but the text is adapted primarily for students who do not receive training along the lines of the usual course in Highway or Civil Engineering. The text is intended to familiarize the student with the relation of highway improvement to national progress, to indicate the various problems of highway administration and to set forth the usual methods of design and construction for rural highways in sufficient detail to establish a clear understanding of the distinguishing characteristics and relative serviceability of each of the common types of roadway surface. Experience with classes made up of students in agriculture or agricultural engineering and with trade school students in road making served as a guide in the selection and arrangement of the material. Detailed discussion of tests of materials and of the theory of design has to a considerable extent been eliminated as being outside of the scope of the course for which the text is intended. In the preparation of American Rural Highways reference was had to many books on highway subjects and to current periodical literature. Wherever direct extracts were made from such source, appropriate acknowledgment appears in the text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roads of Rural America An adequate road system is essential for the economic and social well-being of tho u.s. Rural population. The typical rural family relies on the road system for essential communication between town and city service centers. Children are bused to school. Farm produce is shipped, farm supplies are delivered, and repair parts, groceries, and household supplies are purchased many times throughout the week. Many vehicles, such as school buses and milk trucks, require year - round accessibility, Many rural families have one or more members who commute to factory or service jobs just as regularly as families who live in the cities. It is neither possible nor desirable for rural families to live in isolation. Technological advancements have imposed the need that rural residents have better and safer roads. Faster speeds of passenger vehicles require smoother road surfaces for easy control and wider roads and intersections for safety. The heavier weights of vehicles require stronger roadbeds and bridges. Many rural roads do not meet reasonable standards for today's use. Other roads, adequate now, will deteriorate if funds are not available for required maintenance. Rural America's road network is approaching a crisis in many areas. Roads are deteriorating, maintenance expenses escalate because of inflation, and maintenance and new construction funds are decreasing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Roads to Security: America's Third Struggle for Freedom We have long allowed ourselves to be fascinated by the glitter of industrialized power, forgetful Of its inherent weaknesses. Too much urbanized, too much mechanized, men know little about the great productive power that lies hidden in the land and in its organisms; in the things that live and grow and reproduce their kind; in the seeds that sprout; in the fruits that ripen; in the flocks and herds that help to feed and clothe mankind. America's agriculture 'has become biologically unsound. As the authors of this book scientifically express themselves, we are merely soil chemists, not soil biologists; soil miners, not real husbandmen. And great, we all know, is the cost that America's manhood and womanhood are paying as the price of this neglect.

This book was released on 2018-10-05 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Highway Mileage, Income, and Expenditures, 1921 and 1922 In 1904, the year for which t e first rural road survey was made by the Bureau Of Public Roads, the motor car had not been seriously thought of as introducing a road problem. Now, only 19 years later, we have about motor cars and trucks on our roads, although more than miles, or over two - thirds Of the total mileage of our rural roads, is little or no better than it was 20 ears ago. These facts tell us most emphatically that the job of budding the nation's highways has been but little more than begun. How soon and how well the work will be completed depends entirely on how intelligently and resolutely we dedicate ourselves to the task.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Highways: A Popular Account of Their Conditions and of the Means by Which They May Be Bettered HE historian of this country for the century which is now drawing to its close is likely to note the fact that the people of the United States bore in a singularly patient manner with the evils arising from poor carriage roads until near the end of the tenth decade, and that they then were suddenly aroused to a sense of the sore tax the ill condition of these necessary features of civilization had long inflicted upon them. Let us hope that he may be able to say that in approaching this great economic prob lem, they did so in a manner which showed that they were well informed as to the conditions under which they could deal with it in the light of the previous experience of men, and with the help which the resources of modern science could afl'ord them.
