uson
er -uson handled the subject convinced
d
his audience that he had a thorough
insight regarding the manner of
drainage. After the lecture a number
of films were thrown on the screen,
showing the manner of taking the
levels, draining machines at work,
and also ?emits obtained by .crop-
ping after the land had been thor-
oughly drained, compared to the
