Does undertaking pay? Drained
land can be worked earlier in the spring
and later in the autumn, and sooner
after rain; it gets warm sooner, and,
therefore, the seeds sprout earlier, more
evenly and with more certainty. The
soil is dryer in wet weather and wetter
in dry weather. In short, it makes
farming pay where other means fail,
and many field is doubled in value.
