"If you can take a handful

of soil and squeeze water from
it, then there's too much water
and you're drowning your crop,"
states ag,ricultimal engineer
John Clark, Kemptville Agricul-
tural School.
Ditches offer some solution,
but ditches become, filled with
silt, brush and weeds, and
cows often knock the banks in.
The low spots„- tak even long-
er to dry up and the field can-
not be worked evenly. 1.f ditches
are run to all the low spots, the
cure is worse than the disease:
the field becomes cut up into
small sections: Underdrainage,

Mr. Wlliiath Humphries and

prebierns — and tiling is the •
best method.
Underdrainage appears to ,
expensive. A system of til
,laid in rows about 65 feet apa
will- cost $100 per acre. Ye
once tiles are installed, th
will last twenty to thirty yea
or more. Keeping the drain ott
let clean is the only upkee
To pay for tile drainage i
stallation, , a farmer may bo
row the money from his munic
pality at 4% interest for te
years. For each $100 borrowed
the farmer will pay $12.33 pe
year, SO, the newly drained Ian
need only produce 51/2 extr
bushels of wheat or eight bush
els of corn each year to pa
this bill.
Tile -drained land can be ex
pected to produce higher yields
The field is ready to cultivate
ten days to two weeks earlier
in the spring so that the crop
can be planted sooner for a
longer growing season, ' Mr.
Clark explains.Since the soil
is free of exceis water, plant
roots go deeper into the soil.
If the summer is dry, deep-
rooted plants will stand the dry
spell much better than shallow -
rooted plants sown in soil that
was too wet during the growing
season. Heavy • rains will be
drained off quicker with very
little damage to the crop. A
well designed drainage system
will take off three-eighths inch
of water per acre — or about
9,000 gallops — every twenty-
four hours.
Under normal circumstanees,
a drainage system will pay for
itself in about six or seven
years time from the extra yields
occurring because of the earlier
planting, more uniform growth,
and better utilization of fertiliz-
er. Since the money can be
borrowed for a period of ten
years, a farmer can make a
25,% profit on his investment
