DRAINAGE SURVEY
OF 200 ACRES LAND
EXPERIMENT STATION SClENTl-
DRAINING FARM.
DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH
Doin9s and Happenings That Mark
the Progress Of North Carolina PEG
pie Gathered Around the STATE
Capitol.
RaleiRh.

The Division of Drainage of the
North Carolina Experiment Station
has completed survey of about 200
acres of land on the farm of Mr..
George A. Holderness, at Tarboro, N.
c. This is possibly the largest acre
age Of well-leveloped farm lands that
have yet been surveyed for drainage.
1t is estimated that in making this
improvement to his farm, Mr.. Holder
ness will be called upon to spend ap-
prOximately $4,000.
The great feature of the proposition
is that the whole system will be laid
scientifically correct. Mr.. H. M.
Lynde, senior drainage engineer Of
the North Carolina Experiment Sta
ton, has made the survey, and Messrs.
Harry Cowley and J. C. Wickersham
have been engaged by Mr.. Holderness
to ditch the land and lay the tile.
Both of these men have had consider
able experience in the work and will
b. employed until the whole scheme
of drainage is complete. About 5000
feet Of tile has already been laid; and,
to drain the whole two hundred acres,
a total of about 10000 to $4,000 feet
will be required The system will do
away with IL miles Of open bitches.
The land on the farm is all level and
lat-no fall for natural drainage and
the work requires skill and care.
There is one line 5000 feet long that
has been run, allowing only 2 IL feet
fall to every hundred feet in length.
This is one of the lowest grades used
in tile drainage and is permissible in
this case only because the ground has
been carefully mapped out and the
tile is being laid by experienced
ditchers.
After the system has been put in,
experiments will be conducted by
the drainage office for the purpose of
finding how much water in proportion
to the rainfall is removed by the
drainage system.
