Tangier, April 2S.-It is reported
here that Mulai Hafid, the sultan of

Drainage Of Irrigated Lands.

One of the most important things in
farm drainage in arid countries is to
know just when it becomes necessary.
An excellent rule, adopted by Mr..
Mathew Baer, manager of the Sommer
Farm in Tremonton, Utah, is never to
allow wet spot to appear the second
season. The experience on this farm
is that wet spots, due to seepage,
appear from year to year in different
parts of the farm. By draining these
spots as they appear, this farm con-
tinues to yield abundantly.
So much for wet spots which come
this spring. Our immediate concern
is those wet spots which came last year
and the year before. 1t is not hard to
tell even now where the wet spots are.
They fail to dry even when the wind
blows for days, and the surface gener-
ally is dry enough to plow. If you
will remember. they needed very little
irrigation, if any, last season. If the
crop is alfalfa, the tender sprouts are
yellow, or there is nothing bnt the dry
stubble. If an orchard, you might have
noticed the leaves curling last year
from the effects of alkali.
When such indications as these ex-
ist, it is time to go to exploring below
the surface. 1t is surprising how few
farmers ever think OF digging a few
holes in the ground even: when con-
fronted with most certain indications
of seepage and waterlogging. Besides
showing how thoroughly the soil is
saturated, test holes Twill reveal just
what difficulties will be encountered if
draining is attempted. In many in
stances they will show to what depths
drains must be put by water bearing
strata of sand or impervious strata of
clay or hard-pan. If clay loan is
underlaid with strata of sand carry
ing considerable water, the drains should
cut into it; if on the other hand the
soil is underlaid by hard-pan or i'm
pervious strata, there is no need to cut
through it.
1t may be necessary to secure the
assistance of a surveyor to determine
the practicability of ofconstructing drains
or if there is no question as to fall and
proper outlet, the services of a survey
or may be dispensed with.
