Drainage will reclaim it and make it one Of the beet fields on the farm. Drainage does four things. First it removes the ;surplus water and makes it post - table to cultivate and seed about thaee weeks earlier in the spring than on the same land' when 'un- chained. I Secondly it makes the lan,ra ;Mom 'ten to fifteen degrees warmer than if not drained, and this warmth germinates the seed properly and gives a good stand of grain. Thirdly it lets plenty of air down to the roots of theplants, which is Aleoervaitv ?Icor entisfacte ory growth. Fourthly it makes the soil more porous, and this in turn causes the soil to atorte up more water for the use of the crops in time of ,deerruth. Frequently 'the increase, of crop in one year pays 1 or the drainage, and seldom or liver does it take (longer than threo years, so that drainage pays (flora 33 per .cent to 100 per cent per annum on the money invested.
