TILE DRAINAGE.
It Not Only Reclaims Land, but Less
ems the Cost of Crops


An item which drainage authorities
In Iowa have found important in the
profit of drainage is the diminished ex-
pense of the management of the land
Drained fields are unbroken by sloughs
and wet places and by unnecessary
bitches. Messrs. Stevenson & Christie
say: Every farmer has noted the fact
that an exceedingly large number of
fields in this state are difficult to pillow,
cultivate and harvest because of the
irregular sloughs and wet spots of va
rious sizes which cannot be TILED
These wet places cannot be crossed at
many times during the year with a
pillow or cultivator. They are not only
unproductive, but are also a source of
great annoyance and expense. Their
presence in the field often makes short
rows and badly shaped lands neces-
sary. AS result, great deal of time
and money is lost in operating plows,
cultivators and harvesters.
Abundant testimony is at hand to
prove that farmers have successfully
tiled wet places similar to those men
toned and have thus brought all the
land in their fields under the pillow.
Many of these wet spots were regular
ponds during rainy seasons, but
through intelligent drainage they have
been converted into an almost ideal
state for cultivation. The diminished
expense in the management of the
Farms after this improvement has been
Sade is an important factor in increas-
ing the net returns from the land. Ev-
cry landowner who has been compelled
in years past to cultivate broken up
fields realizes that the total annual loss
for the state is a very considerable
sum.
There are many fields which are
scanned with tortuous open bitches
through which surface water flows at
certain seasons of the year. These
bitches are frequently of such width
and depth that they can be crossed by
team with difficulty, if at all. Serious
/ inconvenience in cultivation often re-
suits from the presence of these open
waterways, and it is a costly mistake
that landowners do not more generally
] lay tile along these bitches and pillow
them shut. When this improvement is
made, the work of tillage is greatly ia
cilitated and an increased acreage is
made available for crop production.
Considerable care. however, needs to
be exercised in closing these open
bitches, for in not few cases the sur
face water will tend to rush down the
old channel in time of heavy rainfall
and wash out the dirt and tile. A large
number of bitches have been tiled and
filled during the past few years, and in
every case when properly done the
work has never proved other than per-
fectly satisfactory and a profitable in

Burdette Thayer created ruction in
the house when he introduced a reso-
luton today calling for the appoint
ment of committee of seven, to whom
all bills relating to increases of sala-
!, ries for state officers should be referred.
The speakers committee of three to
investigate salaries and fees of state
officers were authorized to be included
in the seven. W. B. Anderson, speak
ing for the judiciary and the appro-
priations committees, limited that the
Thayer resolution was scarcely cour-
teous to those committees. Then the
question rose whether or not the reso-
luton covered bills now on the calen-
dar, and the resolution was returned to
its author to be. amended so it would
apply only to such bills as had not
reached the calendar. Ward Stone g

newspaper talk as to his being for or
against an anti pass bill, all Of which
was "buncombe. He carried passes
himself and did not see how any SEN
ator who accepted them could vote for
the bill. The passes carried by the
members were insignificant compared to
the total amount at ISSUE.
Senator Peterson declined to answer
the argument on the merits of the bill,
saying that he would save them for a
later date. AS to blindly following the
committee, he pleaded that the mem

Senator Dale said both parties were
committed to the anti pass bill by the
ernor.

Senator Cole spoke for the minority
report. He said he did not believe
members were Influenced by the re-
ceipt of passes, but in view Of the fact
given eiv 'n for the purpose OFF, of
members, he favored the abolition Of
the pass. In supporting the bill he was
representing his constituents. AS for
the fare reduction feature, he believed
in it. The railroads deny the ability
Of the state to regulate freight rates.
In view of the vast net revenue re-
ceived by the roads, the place to make
a reduction was in passenger fares.
passenger business alone, the great rev.
enue from carrying mails made up for
any losses. :.
Senator Hawkins defended the ma
iority report. He cited the investiga-
ton made two years ago by the rail-
road commission. which declared that
present rates are not excessive. He
thought if the railroad commission
could not betrusted to defend the in
terests of the people, state regulation
was failure.

A roll call showed only five absentees.
He then asked that the bill go on gener-
al orders as measure Of great public
Importance. He did not believe the pub
lie would be satisfied with the major
ity report. No less than 200 newspapers
in the state had commented on the
measure. Other states, like Michigan,
had adopted similar measures.
Senator Horton asked if the author
| of the bill had other information as to

He replied that he had, and that if the
senate thought a maximum of cents
was too low, it could be changed to
21a cents. -,
Senator Horton then asked why the
full facts had not been presented tc

piled that the committee had received

not have changed the action Of the com
mittee. Senator Horton then appealed
