Roswell Gives Up Drainage
Tile Idea For a

Roswell. n. NJ, Dec. 26.-Because the

thought that this would be a good place
to locate a factory The first step was
to test the valley clay for making the
tile He sent samples to the bureau OF
experiments and received the following
reply with analysis;
1.-The two samples Of clay marked
No. 1 and No. 2, from Roswell, n, NJ,
on which an examination as to their
suitability for making drain tile was
desired, are reported as follows:
'The two samples of clay from near
Roswell, which you submitted some
time ago were referred by the bureau
Of soil TO the bureau Of standards
Herewith is a copy of their report.
Knowing what I do Of the manufac-
tUre Of tile, it does not seem to me
that either clay would prove very sue
cessful. In such cases 1t is lar better
to secure large enough samples ana
where they may be actually tested I'M

that is not advisable, several OF the

In stead Of attempting drain tile man
ufacture from the clay, plans are being
made to cultivate the clay lands on an
