ed they are practically permanent and
require almost no expenditure for
maintenance.
The farmer must decide the amount
of money that he can invest for drain
age. Usually it will be best to start
with that part Of the farm where the
profits from drainage will be greatest
and to extend the system as more
funds are available. Often the first
work must include main or outlet for
the whole farm and. therefore. will
cost more per acre drained than fu-
ture work. II the drainage system
for the whole farm can be construct
ed at once the work can sometimes be
done at little less cost than II it is
done part at time. However. the
plan of doing part at a time has the
advantage of permitting the farmer
to observe the results obtained and
in the following work to make any I'M
provements that may be found expe-
dient in the plan. 1t also permits the
farmer to esti nate closely whether II
will be profitable to invest the money
necessary for completing the drainage
system.
On rolling lands, where only occa-
sional wet spots are to be drained. the
random system Zig. - is commonly
used. On level lands needing artifi-
cial drainage a uniform system Figs
2 and - must be planned that will pro-
vide drains for the entire area. The
most economical arrangement of such
a system is one which permits the
use of long laterals and requires the
shortest total length of main drains.
The advantage of this arrangement Is
shown graphically by figures and 3.
in which the systems drain equal
areas. The cost Of purchasing and put
ting in the tile is. however. consider
ably greater than for the system
shown in Fig. 2.
No hard and fast rule can be given
for determining the sizes of tile to be
used. Drains should be large enough
to remove the surplus water before
the crops are injured. even after a

In planning a drainage system for
the farm it is necessary to determine
first whether open .itches or covered
tile drains are to be constructed. Open
bitches are generally used when large
quantities of surface water are to be
removed or wher- land and labor are
cheap. The disadvantages of open
bitches include the large amount Of
land they occupy. their interference
with farming operations. and the high

PLAN FOR BERMUDA PASTURE
Nothing to Prevent Doing the Work

IL the weather has been too dry or
too hot, or other work has been too
pressing. or for any other reasons Q

summer. none Of these reasons shout
prevent the work being done this
winter. Run a shallow furrow every

sods in the burrows. and then turn
another shallow furrow on these sods
to cover them
Next spring run a section harrow
over the burrows to smooth on the
surface. and the warm weather and
the Bermuda will do the rest-if you
will simply keep down the weeds and
other vegetation until the bermuda

we're put to work today on the paving
work at three different parts OF the

Localities where work was gotten

on Jackson street. between Linden

ing machines will arrive Monday and
supplies, tools and asphalt as well as
two big steam rollers, will reach here
by Wednesday of next week The
streets will be paved with sheet as
phalt, which has been purchased in
this city. Cutters will be of brick and
granite curbing has been furnished
by the city.
There is no doubt about the value
of advertising" said Mr.. Van Horn
today. "as a means of getting work
men. always have used newspapers
for that medium and would have done
so in the first place had the city not
assured me that 1t could furnish the

Mr.. Van Horn said he had been

spare half a dozen of those who an
swered his advertisement. Mr.. Van
Horn gladly granted the request.
