Try Little Tile Drainage This Year

Try Little Tile Drainage This Year.
While on most of our rolling
sandy lands tile drainage will
probably not be a good invest
ment, there are, ever, in sections
where such soils predominant,
very, very few farms on which
there are not spots that will pay
for the cost of tile drainage in
one or two years. Of course, on
our sitter, heavier lands, there
are many millions of acres that
should be tile drained.
AS we see it, on the average
Southern farm the place to be-
gin with the tile is in the low,
wet spots that few farms are
without. Such spots may be due
to hillside seepage, or in many
cases to hollow or branch that
gets the water from. the sur
rounding slopes and as a conse-
quence is too wet to make crops.
Very often a single line of tile
will make of such places the
most productive land on the
farm, at a comparatively small
cost.
Of course on our fiat river
lands and on much of our rolling,
stiff clay soils, tile drainage will
pay well, and in many cases
should be put in on the entire
farm. True, the initial cost may
seem high, but we have known
tile drainage to double crop
yields, and it is unnecessary to
say that anything which, at q
reasonable cost, will do this is q
good investment.
Try a little tile drainage this
winter. We believe the results
will please you. The Progress
i've Farmer.
