The attractive and appetizing out
ward appearance Of most FRUITS is gen.
orally explained by supposing that its
function is to attract animals. which
eat the fieshy portion and carry the
seed away from the parent plant, thus
AIDING the distribution of the species.
The red cheeks OF a peach are so en-
ticing that this explanation probably
finds acceptance. But why that brill
liant red color where the flesh meets
the kernel? The bird that pecks at
the flesh Of the fruit does not strike
this colored layer until the work is
practically accomplished.
Certain trees that furnish the So
called dye woods deposit pigment by
the hundredweight within their stems.
The woad or indigo plant and several
others contain a substance known as
'ind,can," which is normally color
less, but is transformed by fermenta-
ton and oxidation PROCESS into deep
blue indigo. This case is particularly
puzzling, since the color of the dye
stuff is not even developed in the livs

acre. Both open canals and covered
conduits are In general use. The OBJ
n canals. however, are intended pri-
marily for the main outlet systems In
which provision must be made for a
considerable TOW OF water. The COW
cred drains are for farm drainage
proper, although, except for the aooi-
uoral expense, they could De used
equally well tor tine main outlets. AS
a matter of fact. although they cost
more than the open canals, the mann
tenance charges are usually lower,
much valuable space is saved, and
cultivation IL irrigation are much
easier with them thar with open ca
aals. Where covered conduits are en-
ployed they are usually made either
VI cement CT clay tile. In some local
Iles lumber box drains are used, but
this is usually advantageous only in
isolated places where lumber is cheap
and transportation rates high. The
life OF such a drain is reasonably long
If the lumber is continuously wet, but
if alternate wetting and drying takes
place. the material may last only a
few years.
In properly drained land bacterial
activity is. increased and more plant
food provided by the admission of air
into the soil to take the place Of the
excess water which has, been removed.
The downward movement of water
through the soil also teaches out the
excess of harmful salts, and this is
one OF the most important functions
Of drainage in the irrigated sections.
The water removed by the drainage
system may be employee for the irriga:
ton of other areas. thereby increasing
the available irrigated area Further
MORE, drained land may be plowed
earlier than undrained, and in conse-
Quence may be irrigated earlier. This
is an obvious advantage in that II
makes it possible for the land to be
irrigated before the supply of water
becomes reduced. Various forms of
drainage systems and the best meth.
DDS of constructing them are discus
sed in the bulletin.
