The sst payment on the big
coal iel, in the Hanson country,
optioned some time ago, by Gar
land Ropey, of Providence, Thad
Ortop and otheis of this county,
for Eastern Capitalist, was made
Thursday. Parties of the big
deal who hold abstract deeds to
the land approved by the pro
moters yesterday received one
third of the purchase price in
cash, notes of one'abd two years,
bearing six percent interest be-
ing given on the balance, with a
lien on the land as further Sc
curity. Quite q number of the
land owners in that section re-
cSived the first payment yester-
day.
II is understood that the men
representing the capitalists will
soon make another payment on
the field, as sefp as the papers
are property fpared.
An option this field, which
contains som hing like 100000
acres of coal rights, has been
held by these men for some time
and the fact that one-third cash
is now being put up shows thai
the company is stricly in GOOD
faith and will become owners o.

WASTE LANDS BECOME PRODUCTIVE
AFTER DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT
Some Of the Benefits Which Come From Drainage Are
Prevention Of ErOsion-SOils Can Be Worked Earlier
improves Plant Growth Avoids Loss Of Nitrogen

90 Good drainage also avoids the
loss OF nitrogen from the soil by the
action Of Identifying bacteria; It re-.
duces the Manage done by freezing
and beavlng; 1t increases the amount
OF available moisture for plant
growth; il Increases the available
plant food in the soil.
Because OF the above named benefits
the drainage OF wet lands practically
assures the production of crop every
year. Although It might seem other
wiss. a well drained soil will produce
a rger yield than poorly. drained
one In a dry year as well az In . vet
one. Drainage also permits the culti-
walton of otherwise worthless lands,
often making such areas the most pro-
dIctivs OF the farm. The added yield
and saving Of labor from the drainage
OF wet lands should pay for the cost
in from two to four years. and at may
be said that the farmer who has prop
efly Installed tile drains where needed
