Of the land. II In not uncommon for
lands too wet for cultivation to pro-
duce, when drained. 90 to 10 bushels
Of corn or oats or from one to one
and half bales OF cotton to the acre.
On much of the drained land the In
crease OF yield Is from % to 100 per
cent, and by the increased yield and
decreased cost Of cultivation the value
of the land Is often doubled.
Drainage improves the physical con-
diti0n Of the soil by making II more
porous and friable. Thus stiff soAs
are made more easy to work. The
roots OF plants are given greater
feeding depth by the lowering of the
water level and hence the ability OF
crops to utilize moisture Is increas.
Well-drained soils also absorb more
rainfall than undrained soils, thus de-
creasing erosion and damage by floods.
The following, however. should be
borne In mind In connection with
drainage operations:
/. The grade of the ditch should be
uniform and free from says.
z The tile should be placed firmly
In the ditch with the ends as close
together as possible, the top Of the
Joints particularly SO.
3. All Joints larger than one-ei ghth
of an inch should be covered with
pieces Of broken tile.
4. Either top soil, sod, straw. grass
or fine brush should be placed next to
the tile In soils where there Is
danger In sitting.
8. A drop should be provided from

DRAINING WET LANDS
Operation Improves Physical
Condition of the Soil.

able and Therefore Easier to

Greater Feeding Depth.

Lands that are too wet for the most
profitable production of crops, such as
wet level land, low spots and the dry
subsOils Of Hat areas on the submits
of knobs, river and creek bottoms,
and peat bogs, should be drained.
Even uplands may often be drained
with profit, especially hlllsides subject
to erosion or inclined to be "spouty."
Indeed, drainage Is profitable wher-
ever II Is necessary to the fullest use

o. As few outlets of the main tile
as may be should be constructed and
these should be properly protected.
Z. Silt wells or catch basins wherein
to catch sediment should be construct

3. A surface Inlet should be provid-
ed wherever the tile comes to large
surface depression or N pond usually

even before 1t Is planted. This bed.
ding" as IL Is sometimes called, can
be done with the mule much better
than with mechanical power. The ren-
son for all trls is long story and
we shnll not 20 into It here.
In rice farming the tractor can be
used for at least three general opera
tions: plowlng, narrowing or disking.
and, In some cases, hauling binders
for cutting. 1t is more adaptable TO
rice farming than TO either of the
others.
2 ON n 2OO-acre sugar farm. ordinar-
lily 20 mules would be used; ON cot
ton farm Of the same size ten mules
and on rice farm of this size about
eight mules.
The writer doubts very seriously II
n tractor would replace even n single
mule on the cotton and cane planta-
tions. but on the rice farm of 20 acres
possibly four mules could be replaced
some seasons. Even In this case, how
ever. 1t would not be at all safe to de-
pend upon the use of the tractor for
the cutting of the rice. because II is
by no means always possible to run a
tractor over the land when rice Is har-
vested. It Is sometimes impossible to
use n binder, and the planter has to
resort to the old hand sickle.
3. For cotton and cane work two OF
the prime prerequisites nre short
turning radius and general ease Of
handling. Otherwise, the type makes
no particular difference unless II Is de-
sired to use the tractor for cultivnting
Tho growing crop. For rice work the
endless apron or caterpillar type might
be used some seasons where the round
wheel type could not be used.

YEARLY PROFIT ON POULTRY
Increased Returns May BE Obtained by
Raising Necessary Feed for
Chickens on Farm.

II Is usually conceded by poultry
men that dollar Il year can be made
or each hen even when all the feed
has to be purchased, and since each
bird will consume over dollars worth
Of grain during the season. the profit
per head when this IL raised on the
farm will easily amount to two dollars
or more per annum.
