There has been a great deal lately
written about the relation of the
underdrains of the Middle States.
and the floods of the Ohio Val
ley, endeavoring to prove that the
great increase in volume of water was
due to this cause. By the latest esti-
mates there are less than zoo, 900 miles
of under-drains doing duty in Ohio, In
diana and Illinois. And the great floods
are opposite Ohio; and It is too much to
say that there are Is, 900 miles of drains
in this State, and if the volume of this
claimed extra, or more rapidly dis
charged water, was liberated ut once,
it would not raise the Ohio River over
six inches. nor even then would the
drains account for the surplus of water
above Marietta There need be no
scare about undertakings to those who
need to employ it, on that score. The
value of drainage to large districts Of
our territory can not be overestimated.
There is no other way to reclaim the
swamps, boys, lowlands and semi
marshes As q country we are fast APP
preaching the time when all this now
waste land will be demanded for cult
walton, and when properly drained the
testimony is that no better land can
possibly exist. There are also other
objections being raised against drain
age, that the great subterranean flow
of water win rapidly exhaust the soil OF
its humus and disolvable mineral mat
ter, by percolation into these drains.
This also rests upon no better support
than the submerged theory. A
long series of tests in this country
and in England show that the loss from
this source is exceedingly small. This
retention of fertility by the soil is ex-
planned by affinity Of one element for
another, that chemists 50 well under
stand in the liberation of chemicals. II
the drains are put down deep. as they
tility or nearly so. before it reaches the
drain, and the plant and cover roots
will again return them to the surface.
On very sandy lands and soils resting
upon . coarse gravel sub-strAta the
teaching of fertility may cause serious
loss in fertility, but such lands do not
need underdrainage,s so the argument
has no application 10 the most solid
water containing and retaining clay
soils.
Surplus water must be carried OF
from the soil in two ways, by drains or
by evaporation. The last is very slow
and requires great deal of heat; and
look at it IN any light we may. the in
crease in the temperature Of the soil,
and consequent rapid growth Of the
plant, would overbalancs any loss of
fertility by underdrainage. Let the

prevents rumination. This points to a
