On many of our soils needing
drainage, surface water troubles very
little in comparison with other fac
tors. Take pipe-clay slope with a
good stiff hardpan and water never
troubles that soil, but the lack of

soil runs together so tight that air
can not enter and, of course, where
air can not go, water surely will sell
dom penetrate. The top of such
soils will puddle during spells of ex-
IRENE wet, while but little water
will get to the subsoil. The bulk of
the rainfall has no effect on the land
except to wash over the top, carry
ing away what vegetable matter
there may be lying partially rotted
on the surface. Consequently these
seemingly wettest soils are the ones
that usually suffer first when drouth
comes upon the land, simply because
AS pointed out above-their wet
ting was nearly all on the surface,
little going to the subsoil to be re-
turned by means of capillary attrac-
ton when the clouds failed to act at
the opportune time. Such soils as
these are about the hardest we have
to handle and are about the slowest

Tile Drainage Prevents Washing.
With perfect drainage, very lit
tie of our average rainfall should
be allowed TO go off the sur
face of the land, but should be made
to filter down through the soil and,
of course, the greater depth of porus
soil we make, the greater amount of
this water will never get away in
any manner except as it is pumped
out by the plants or allowed to es-
cape from the surface after return
ing by capillary attraction, and this

at some length because of its very
great Importance to the man who
would secure the greatest return of
which his soil is capable OF produc-
ing, if handled rightly. Washing is
one of the greatest curses with which
handlers of Southern soils have to
contend, and lack Of proper drain
age or. in other words. proper depth
and porosity of soil, is probably the
greatest factor that makes washing
of lands possible. Thing Of clay lands
not only tends to conserve moisture,
but prevents washing of the soil sur
face and the waste OF humus that
attends the rushing of surface water
off the land. The tiled soil acting
as a filter. nothing but clear water
ever gets into the drains, so the hui
mus-that product which we some
times mention as the greatest need

is reason enough why we should ex-
pend some money in retaining
them. Grass is at this time, and for
some time to come will be one of our
most profitable crops.
We have a large amount of this
sort of land on Sunny Home Farm,
and until it was tile drained we
could never depend upon it to pro-
duce paying crops. With tile drain
age and the addition of humus, in
the form of stable manure, together
with deep blowing this land is in

Again-as was limited above
drainage with under-drains make
soil porous, allowing the air to pene-
trate to greater depths. Small
streams of water are already in the
soil to some extent; these are tap
ped by the under-drains and surplus
water taken to an outlet more rap
idly than it could otherwise be taken,
and because of the outlet formed
other little water water-courses are
induced to form, coming to the drain
from each side. Air follows the lead
of the water, bacteria follow in the
wake of the air and our soil has be-
come alive to perhaps three times
the depth it was before the land was
drained. This means that the feed
ing roots of strong-growing plants
have three times the amount of soil
to develop in and secure plant food
from that they formerly had Stu
dents of soils and plants know that
both plant food and water are need

course, by making the land more

How We Waste Time.

Then, in closing this paper. must
call attention once more to the waste
of time the farmer makes who works
land cut up with surface bitches.
You remember | wrote The Progress
sive Farmer and Gazette readers
some years ago concerning the folly
of working short rows. when by SO
doing away with surface bitches his
fields and rows could be heightened
sometimes as much as 400 per cent.
increasing by about one-third the
amount OF work a team and man
could perform during a given time,
by avoiding the many turnings con-
sequent upon handling land in patch
es instead OF fields such as we may
have by cleaning off the ditch banks

ness fields instead of boy patches.

in the eighth and ninth, could not

The fireworks started in the first
round for Hattiesburg, when, with two
down, Jones doubled to right and
scored when Tutwiler's fly to left was
muffed.
The second was a tragedy. Oberlin
was hammered all over the lot, and
aided the slaughter by giving two free

It looked for while like McGehee
would fare as badly as his predeces-

two runs for the locals, but decision
