TILE YOUR LAND AND
INCREASE YOUR CROPS
Ten the Most Important Drainage
BY Elmer Fppin,

Because OF the fundamental char
acter of the process of drainage, its
effects are numerous and far reaching.
Ten of the most important ones may
be given as follows:
/. Drainage removes the excess of
water from the surface and from the
pores in the soil thereby rendering 1t
more firm.
Perry drained soil has the twofold
d.s,d tnee of lack of stability and
rrmness and great susceptibility to
physical notifications injurious to
most farm crops. Such injury may be
caused by any tillage operations, by
tramplng and by the natural drying Of
the soil.
2. Drainage is directly operative to
change an unfavorable physical con
dltion into a de-
~ sirable one, as

4. Drainage promotes the aeration
of the soil that is, the exchange be-
tween the soil air and the external
air. A supply of oxygen is necessary
to the proper growth of the living or
ganisms in the soil, Such "A supply

almost as injurious to the grass and
grain crops. Nor is the injury OF
heaving confined to small plants. 1t
extends to trees and even TO fence

soil by successive freezes.
8. Drainage reduces or prevents ero-

soil as the drainage water flows down
the slope. A saturated soil is in the
right condition for erosion to be most
