FROM TEXAS.

Editors Commercial: After
holding close communion with our
ever welcome weekly visitor, The
Commercial, feel like giving
vent to just a few wandering
thoughts, which my mind is car
ried back to, from reading the
many happenings which occurred
in my old home town.
| have said it before, and will
say it again, there is not a town or
community that equals Union City
for kind, generous, moral, Chris
tianspeople; that is, as far as my
knowledge or observation extends,
and | think have been a close
observer and an extensive traveller.
But few States and none of the
territories have escaped my visits,
including most all the large cities
and the Republic of Mexico and
Canada. When look at your ele-
CANT church buildings, which are
towering monuments for God and
humanity, and know of their
healthy condition, together with
your fine and commodious public
school buildings which add so
much to the moral development of
our country; and again, when /
note the prompt enforcement of
the prohibition laws, as well as all
others, which are honestly and
truthfully executed by citizens of
your community, say, again and
again, you are a favored people.
| feel like using one of the expires
sions found in the Good Book, but
refrain from doing so when | am
reminded OF the fact that there IS
not an ''Ikey'' in your city.
Prohibition, like the wild forest
fires, is sweeping over this once

THE USE OF DRAIN TILE.

The use Of drain tile seems to be
quite generally misunderstood out
side the territory where drainage
is almost an absolute necessity to
secure any crops at all; and even
there we find a great many who
have an entirely wrong idea of it.
1t seems to be a common impress
sion that the great purpose of
drain tile is to carry off standing
water from some swamp or frog
pond, and that the landowner for
tunate enough to have no such
places on his premises has no use
for tile. In the first place we
should not speak of drainage, for
that term has proved to be mislead-
ing. We should say under drain
age, if we desire to make a plain
statement. Even then we do not
imply the full value of the use of
drain tile, for they do more than
drain; or, perhaps we should say
that in draining they effect other
results not expressed by the name
Of the process.
Now let us consider, step by
step, just what .his undertakings
is, what it does, and for just what
reasons it is employed. In the
first place it rains 1--WE will leave
snow and other forms of moisture
out of consideration for the pres
ent), and this rain saturates the
earth with which it comes in con-
tact; that is, the particles of soil
absorb all the water they can hold
and the spaces between the parti.
cles become filled; then the rain
runs off the surface, carrying with
it the animal and vegetable fertil-
izer which has accumulated there,
and deposits it on the lowlands, or
in some swamp, or empties it into
the river. Shortly the sun comes
out and bakes a crust over the sur
face of the field, sealing up the
interstices between the particlesof
soil and cutting off all air from the |
roots of the vegetation. Then the
farmer ''cultivates" to break up
this crust in order that the roots
of the growing crop may have the
necessary air to insure proper
growth. These are the conditions
when there are no drain tile in the
ground; but let us introduce the
tile.
1t rains, and this rain satnrates
the soil with which it comes in
contact; not on the surface only,
but clear down to the tile, and the
surplus which the soil will not alb
sorb is carried away through the
tile. The soil is left open and po-
rous; the air is free to circulate
through it; the moisture line goes
much lower than it otherwise
and the decayed animal and
vegetable matter upon the surface
Is carried into the soil where it
may promote the growth of the
crop in the field, instead of the
skunk cabbage and cat-tails in the
swamps. And this is
not all. The The moisture line having

been extended downward, there is
less water on the surface; being
less water there is lesseyaporation;
and there being less evaporation
the temperature of the soil ishigh-
er, for evaporation causes cold.
The temperature is also elevated
by contact with the rain, which in
coming down has absorbed the
heat from the atmosphere through
which it has passed. Good author
ity states that the temperature of
the soil of we'll drained field is,
practically speaking, as high as it
would be were the field two hum
dred miles further south, thus
lengthening the farming season
from two to three weeks--iust
about enough to change the entire
summers operations from one con-
tinuous frantic endeavor to keep
up with the procession to that of
being ahead on the bandwagon,
with enough leisure to enjoy the
music and to do everything well
and in proper season.
So far we have spoken Of under
drainage, principally in regard to
its functions during wet weather,
but we must not forget the drought,
and how the drain tile rule works
both ways. The soil is dry, but
there is always some moisture in
the air, and the air circulating
through the soil and the tile, which
is possible owing to the loose con-
dition of the former, due to the
presence of the latter, leaves its
moisture there. The dew gathers
at night, and the soil being open
and porous absorbs it readily and
carries its moisture down to the
roots of the growing plants.
Butthe proper and advantageous
disposition of rain water and as
sistance at times when there is no
rain are not all that drain tile are
good for. There are other kinds
of water to be disposed Of; for in
stance, the cold spring water that
comes up through the soil from
below. This is water which has
fallen upon the earth once before,
has filtered through the earth and
given up all its fertilizing matter
and all its heat. 1t chills the soil;
II crusts over the surface; it closes
40 the air spaces around the parti-
,les, and is much more detrimental
han heavy rain to an undrained
ield. Drain tile, properly placed,
arrest the upward course of this
water, and thereby not only keeps
he soil warm, but open and in
condition to absorb the fertilizing
aims. Still another use of drain
lie is the proper care of the water
which runs off the surface of the
property which is not
lnder- drained. This is good water
warm and full Of fertilizer, but its
curse must be turned. Ii must
70 down and leave its fertilizer in
he soil. Drain tile accompIishes
hat purpose, retaining all the
rood in the soil under which they
ay and furnishing quick exit for
ii that is not beneficial.
