Every farm- er along the way was personally seen by the Chairmen agreed to give the one hour that was asked for. fFarmers were asked to bring their plows, scrapers and road drags, and an organization equal to those em~ ployed in professional "railroad build- ing was worked out. In the weeks preceeding the work all bridges and tculverts along the road were repair~ ied and put in rst-class order, that no delay might come to the road Ibuilders `when once the latter start- ed working. The result of the organization was shown on the appointed Saturday. Shortly before 9 o'clock in the morn- ing farmers began getting out in the road. Hundreds and hundreds of plows, picks, shovels, scrapers, road drags, grading machines and other implements were brought along. Every farmer brought his team with him. Superintendents and over- seers had been appointed in read- iness when, promptly at9o clock the order was issued to fall to."
