ditions and difficulties exist. 1t is
valuable along these lines and espe-
cially suggestive to those who have
the direction of preliminary drainage
work of a comprehensive character
A few pertinent conclusions are here
noted as indicating the general scope
of the work accomplished:
While the necessity for the drain
age of irrigated lands will doubtless
be less obvious when water is more
economically used and supply canals
are improved in such a way as to dl-
minish leakage, considerable loss
of water from both causes will always
be unavoidable, so that drainage will
always be an essential part of the i'm
provement of irrigated land in some
localities.
The complete drainage of farm
lands in humid belts can be effected
only by the enlargement and general
Improvement of the minor arterial
streams which receive the drainage
and by the excavation of new bitches
where natural streams are insufficient
AS the low lands near the streams
are transformed into farms, they must
be protected from the overflow which
periodically endangers them. This
must be considered in connection with
the more complete improvement of
higher lands, the drainage of which
contributes to the supply of main
streams So many phases of the
drainage problem are involved that
the investigation resolves itself into
an examination of individual cases in
which local as well as general diff
culties must be considered.
The ultimate removal of the surplus
soil water from the fields is the end
sought At the same time the proper
conservation and distribution of the
water should be considered more fully
in the improvement of farm lands
than it has been in the past. The rate
of removal of water from soils should
be as slow as is consistent with eff
cient drainage.

The drainage legislation enacted in
1903 shows the Importance with which
the subject is regarded in States hav
ing inadequate drainage laws. New
laws were enacted in Arkansas, Cali
fornia, Idaho and Nebraska, and
amendments to existing drainage laws
were passed in ten other States.
1t should be added that the e.
pertinent with hillside undertakings
in Georgia for the purpose of pre-
venting the erosion of land, so harm
full in the South, promises good results
and will be watched with much inter
est by cultivators of hill land Such
an experiment requires several sea
sons to fully demonstrate the eff
cheney of the plan adopted. Future
reports will doubtless give results, to-
gether with cost and the best methods
to be employed in work of that char
acter
