TILE DRAINING IS
FOUND PROFITABLE
BROWN COUNTY FARMERS ARE
FOLLOWING SCIENTIFIC
INSTRUCTIONS
VALUE OF FARM LAND GREAT. Y
ENHANCED AFTER 1T is
DRAINED

Many of the farmers of Brown county
are taking up the draining problem
seriously this year and many miles of
bitches and tile drains are being con-
structed this spring. This is especially
true of the district southeast of New
Ulm, where nearly every one of the older
farms are being tiled and properly
drained. 1t is no uncommon sight to
see a string OF five or six wagons loaded
high with tile passing along the road
towards the Little Cottonwood district.
According to farmer living east of
Searles over fifty miles of drain tile
is going to be laid in his neighborhood
during the coming summer. The dis
trict in need Of drainage extends to the
southern boundary of the county.
The farmers were at first loath to be-
lieve that their farms could he greatly
improved by the installation of a scien-
titic system, but some of them tried it
out with beneficial results and now there
is hardly a farm requiring drainage,
where a start has not been made to re-
claim the land instead Of letting it lie
idle as pasture or slough.
The state farm at St. Paul has been =
great help to the farmers in this matter
and has sent representatives to the dis
trict to give advice as to the proper in
stallation of drainage system. In a
circular on the subject the state farm
management recounts the success of a
Renville county farmer, A. B. Wolff, who
took the advice of the state farm serious
ly. 1t says:
''As a first experiment in drainage,
Mr., Wolff tiled a pothole of eleven acres
at a cost of $184. This land has pro-
dueed an average Of about two tons of
hay a year, but since he put in the
drainage system, it has become the most
productive land on the farm and has
risen in. value from almost nothing to
$125 an, acre
Drainage has made not only the waste
zand productive; it has made the sur
rounding land yield more and has i'm
proved the field in general What was
formerly q broken-up section. is now the
best field, on the farm. Physically the
field has been made granular, porous
and. friables- The soil has become warm

planting season is from one to- two weeks

warEn SOIL, the seed germinatas more
readily and. I'll better stand is, secured
than usual. The land can be: cultivated
sooner after a. rains as we'll: as earlier, i'll

view, the drainage has been satisfactory.

have pretty hard time to keep
a ticket in the field until election.
So far Messrs. Brunette, of
Trail county, Quanbeck, of Mel
son county, and Nelson, of
Steele county, have refused to be
known as League" candidates
and have published signed state
mants to the effect that they did
not propose to be controlled by
the self-appointed League of
ficials at Fargo. The first

the latter states that he is tired

the insurgents. Burdick seems

SUBSCRIBER

Why shouldn't Geo. w. ap-
prove? Does anyone for a min
ute doubt that anything political
that might mean the certainty of
even one extra vote either for
himself or family would make
Mr.. L. do some right smart ap-
proving?
When the farmers of Emrnons
county are thus given a chance
to see at first hand the class of
men that are so quick to ZAP
prove of this Townley affair
isn't it a good idea to give some
credence to the apparent facts
that the deal is being put through
for the purpose of creating some
soft snaps for Townley's bunch
as well as amply paying its way,
at the expense of the farmers?
The Townleys, the Lynns and
the rest of the smooth ones will
try to show up the methods
which are being used to control
the farmers votes. And we
wonder which side is entitled to
the support of the farmers them
selves: Is it the class of men
who have charged the men so
much per head for organizing
them and who have copied off
all the salary jobs and who also
expect to control their votes or is
it the country newspaper man
who pounds along in an honest
endeavor to turn on the light Of
publicity to the constant stream
of schemes advancedto catch the
iunwary? All this without any SO
per head, either. If there is any
farmer in this county that hon
|,estly believes that there is any
money or glory in taking a
stand which may easily be mis-
construed by many of our pa
irons, we'd like to have him trot-
ted out. And as to newspapers
being bought we believe the
most perfect example of that is
the sale of the Devils Lake Jour
mails editorial columns in return
| for subscriptions asked for in the
guise of donations.
