ne Ditch Problem.

EdIIOE5 MIbIIRtutet' ~ N
! submit herewith an answer 10 the
ditch problem in your issue Of the 9th inst.
Surprising the digging gets more difficult
In the same proportion IS the distance
shortens from the easier end to the other,
and that the price increases in hesame
ratio, which Is $3.50 cents for each rod;
then the man who begins at the easier end,
at 97i cents will have to dig 53.1A rods
for 5000, and the other, who begins Of
81 ,12f for the first rod, and gets $3.50
cent less for each succeeding rod, will have
to dig 1886 rods TOR 5000, making in
all 100 rods for $4,000.
Ibelieve that Is what your correspond
ent meant. Any other way Is impossible.
