Cost of Work.

The valuation of the land after
it has been surface drained will de-
termine whether it will pay to ditch.
In the Little Yellow district of $4,000
acres the price of land has advanced
$40 an acre while the cost of drain
age was about SO per acre. in the
Remington district at a cost of 81
an acre the land value has increased
per acre in the Beaver district ranged
from $3.50 to Sc per acre, according
to distance from the ditch. Two sec
tons of land drained by ditch
through peat underlaid by sand were
sold four years ago for S. an acre,
and could not now be bought for $25
an acre. The cost of digging open
bitches is between eight and ten
cents cubic yard. The work is
facilitated greatly by the use of
steam or gasoline dredges, but the
work and cost of building and tear
ing down dredge is so great that a
contractor can not afford to take a
piece of work amounting to less than
$4,000. The cost Of digging small
bitches, by hand, two feet wide at
the bottom, three feet deep, and
eight feet wide on top, is between
fifty and sixty cents per rod. A sum-
mary of the benefits of drainage re-
veals the fact that such improvement
allows the cultivation of land other
wise not available for farming; per
mits of earlier working of the soil
in spring; allows the ground to warm
up more rapidly in the spring months.
thus increasing the length of the sea-
son and lessening the danger OF
frosts. 1t produces a good ventila-
ton ar filth in the soil; increases
the amount of water available to the
crops; aids nitriication and retards
Identification. 1t lessons considerably
the surface washing of the soil, and
finally, it allows fields to be made
uniform in outline, under which con-
dition they york to better advantage.

MARSH LANDS RECLAIMED

Ways.

The thorough drainage of the four
and half million acres of undrained
marshy or clay soil in Wisconsin
would increase its value one hundred
million dollars, according to the
estimates Of Professor A. r. Whit
son, soil physicist of the University
of Wisconsin, who with E. r. Jones,
his assistant, has been making an
investigation of the costs and bene-
fits of land drainage in various parts
of the state. In the 129 townships
from which data were taken. there
are 1928 acres of land which are
practically worthless for agricultural
purposes because of lack of drainage.
This is over 1000 acres per town
ship, at which rate there are about
l 500 600 acres of this class of land
in Wisconsin. There are also at
least 100000 acres of marshy land
Which are only partially productive
on account of teo much surface water
to allow proper cultivation. In adj
dition there are also at least 1000 900
acres of upland clay soil which will
require undertakings to allow it to
produce maximum Crops

Mr.. Nels Holman of Deerfeld feels
, that his experiment in the draining
! a marsh for pasture is highly Success
full. His land was similar to that or
Mr.. Foil until 1908. when Mr.. Ed.
ward Roichenbach, a Jefferson drain
age engineer and contractor, planted
and put in drainage system cover
ing forty acres. The land is becom-
ing more firm every year and the
grass has begun to grow between
the boys where the water formerly
stood continually. AT least ten per
cent of the money invested was
realized from the benefits of the tile
in the first year. Drainage on the
farms of Joseph Winterling, of the
Jeffe son County Asylum, and of
ex-Gov. w. d. Hoard, which were
among those visited by Professor
Whitson also gave good results.
Tests Show Good Results.
OF total of about 500 acres OF
tiled land investigated, eighty per
cent yielded one half of the money
invested in tile in increased crops
each year. Ten per cent of the land
was used merely for pasture. and the
anrnai income FROM The tile was per-

fault of the tile itself.
Benefits Of Open bitches.
The value of open bitches was al
so investigated. Aside from remov-
ing the surface water, open bitches
receive seepage from the SOIL and
furnish an outlet for tile drainage.
Although open bitches are common
at roadsi6es, and are used with ad-
vantage to remove the surface water
from cultivated fields. they are most
necessary in broad marshes. Upon
such areas they are the first step in
reclamation. In newly settled local
tiles where land is comparatively
cheap, the marsh lands are usually
first drained by open bitches in order
to convert them into meadows, for
the price OF surrounding land does
not at present warrant the expense
of tile drainage. Then, also, peat
soil is not ready for tile Immediately
upon the completion of the open
ditch; it is much better to allow the
soil to go through the settling pro-
cess before the laying of tile is at

Benefits of Tile Drainage.

The benefits derived from the use
of tile on marsh acres are illustrated
by the experince of Mr.. Carl Foil of
Deerfield, WHO had fifteen acres of
marsh of which 10 per cent was prac-
tically useless. Cattle often became
mired in attempting to cross 1t, and
at no time of the year was it dry
enough to admit of blowing on at
least ten acres of the lowest portion.
The soil consisted of black muck
and peat to a depth varying from
five to ten feet, undertake by a gravel
subsoil. On about two acres the
gravel lay within three feet of the
surface, and here the undertakings
was sufficient so that the land could
be used for pasture. After laying
the tile in 1901 the first crop planted
was corn, which was injured by the
spring frosts, but finally ripened
we'll. After the corn had glazed.
the crop on a typical square rod
was cut and weighed. 1t was found
that the yield was at the rate OF
twenty-four tons and three hundred
pounds of green fodder per acre. The
corn for the entire field, when husked
averaged seventy-five bushels per
acre. The first crop was sufficient to
pay not only for the thing, but also
for the top dressing of manure, and
left the improvements a clear proht'
The following year the yield of green
fodder was seventeen tons per acre,
and the field was then sown to rye
and seeded to timothy and red-top'
which yielded last year three tons OF
hay per acre. The results OF this
first experiment in thing were so sat
isfactory that Mr.. Foil continued the
work until. at present, he has 100
acres tiled. all of which is giving
good satisfaction. Mr.. label a
neighbor of Mr.. Foll tiled twenty
acres of his farm. On one half OF
this the increased yield was 100 per

COLER PLEADS FOR BROOKLYN,
wants Fourth Avenue Route In That Dor.
ough Started at Once.

UuEu StuTttu at piiCt
Borough President Coler OF Brooklyn ha s
sent a letter to the Rapid Transit Commits
sion urging that the building of the Fourth
avenue route in Brooklyn should be begun
without delay. In his letter he said that
Brooklyn, because Of engineering blunders
and delays incident to vexatious litigation, "
was as far from IN adequate system Of
transportation relief as ever. Mr.. Coler
drew attention to the fact that Manhatta
and The Bronx we're being we'll served in
the matter of new routes, but hat il seemed
that Brooklyn was destined to have to be
satisfied with a miserable two track tunnel
under the East River, and even this has
been 30 faulty constructed as to make it a
matter Of doubt as to whether or not it will
be OF any real service"
Mr.. Coler insisted that IL the borough Of
Brooklyn was to be properly developed
and the convenience Of its population con-
sidered "the Rapid Transit Commission
must put an end to it's policy Of laying out
its subway routes in short sections and
thus providing tid-bits for the Transports
ton corporations. The commission should
in the future compel the corporations to
take the fat with the lean and to construct
whole systems instead OF short sections of
systems by including in the same contract
tunnels in these sections of the borough
where the business Is Of the long haul traffic. +"
Mr.. Coler commended that the Fourth avenue
route should be built at once because II
provided a trunk line which would help to
develop the outlying parts OF the borough.
