Side drains may be constructed In
the outs on each side of the road, just
o. outside OF the limits of the macadam.
These drains consist OF narrow
trenches, filed with broken stones or
small gravel stones, with pipe FIVE
or six inches In diameter near the
bottom. The pipe is laid with open
points, true to grade. and is carried to
proper outlet. Sometimes the pipe
is omitted and the entire trench filed
with stones, in which case It is
called blind drain. Such drains serve
to cut OF the subsurface water before
IL can get under the macadam
A trench of n width Identical with
the width OF the macadam may be
eXcavated for depth OF from 12 to Is
inches In the center and to a depth
of from six to eight inches on the
sides. shaped on the bottom like a

filed with field or any sort OF stones

stones need not be placed with special

LAND DRAINAGE.

or all the conditions which influence
the growth of crops none is more i'm.
| portant than the amount OF moisture
in the soil While water Is absolutely
essential to plants, an excess Is as bad
as deficiency.
There are two kinds OF conditions
which require drainage: FIRST, land
which is wet or marshy. because Il is
| too ilat TO allow surface drainage; !;
second. land which has sufficient slope
to give good surface drainage but which
on account Of the large amount OF
vegetable matter or humus II contains
and OF its impervious clay subsoil,
does not have good underdrainage.
The lack of drainage I'm the first
case is readily seen and understood,
but the importance OF drainage in the
second case is not generally recog-
nized, although It's benefits are as
great as in the cases OF marshes.
Replies from 129 assessors. selected
at random throughout the state, show
that there are 132.19i acres OF land in
their townships which are practically
worthless for agricultural purposes be-
cause of lack OF drainage. This is over
100 acres per township, at which rate
there are but 100000 acres in the
entire state of this class of land Then
there are at least 100000 acres Of
marshy land which are only partially
productive on account OF too much
surface water to allow proper cult.

are at least 100000 acres OF up
land clay soil which require under.
drainage to allow IL TO produce max.
imum crops.
We believe that the thorough
drainage Of this four and half mil.
lion acres would increase its value
one hundred million dollars.
In the case of tile drainage of clay
land already under cultivation, the
increase In yield varies from 10 to
so per cent This is a net profit on the
cost of drainage, since there Is no in
crease In expense of cultivation OF the
land. In fact, II Is easier to work
perlence shows that drainage usually
pays for itself in from two to four
years. Considered in detail, the ben.
fits from drainage are as follows:
(a) Allows cultivation of land other
wise not available for farming.
(b) Allows earlier working In spring.
(c) Allows the soil to warm up
more rapidly in the spring, thus
increasing the length of the sea-
son and lessening the danger of
frost.
(d) Produces good ventilation and
tilth In the soil
(e) Increases the amount Of water
available to crops.
(D Aids nitrification, retards deni-
triiication.
(g) Lessons surface washing.
| (h) Allows fields to be made uni
form in outline and hence worked
| to better advantage.
