water Generally speaking, on heavy
clay good outlets for bitches can be
had without much trouble and at
small expense.
Whatever system is used. it should
be planned and carried out in the
most effective way. The important
fact TO remember Is that in order to
farm successfully the flat clay lands
with most crops 1t is necessary to pro-
vide some practical system OF surface
drainage.
The land should be plowed in par.
row lands leaving dead burrows about
30 feet apart. The open burrows are
cleaned out and the water from them
flows into a ditch on the side of the
field. BY this means, very little sur
face water will stand or the field after
heavy rains. BY this means. deep
cross bitches are largely avoided.
When the land is plowed in the fall.
the dead burrows are filed and new
burrows opened about Is feet from
where the old burrows we're. This sys.
TEN OF surface draining has giver
satisfaction in many localities

The drainage Of heavy clay lands
deserves much attention. for the yield
Of crops obtained on such soils is very
largely proportional to the degree of
drainage. This soil. being naturally
retentive of moisture, puddles very
easily II worked when wet, thus pre-
venting the entrance Of air into the
ground. The excess of water also pre-
vents the soil from warming up early
in the spring, and thus retards the
planting o: seed and its termination
after being planted. The bacteria and
other organisms which prepare the
nitrogen OF the soil for the use Of the
higher plants cannot do their work
well In a wet or puddled soil. They
must have air and comparatively
high temperature Ia order to do their
best work.
The surface water which accumu-
ates after heavy rains should not be
allowed TO remain on the ground long
