On clay soils the chief object of
tile drainage IS 10 remove the surface

To do this II must have az easy
access 10 the tile and for this reason
they should not be put down more
than two OF two and half feet deep.
On a clay soil II requires longer for

Il takes longer for the watercourses

hence We viii secure better imme-

On one OF our farms the tile drains

did the first ten years they were put
in. These drains were put in from
three 20 four feet deep and for the
first few years they did very poor
service.
