Economic Arrangement.

The most economic arrangement of
the drainage system Is one that per-
mits the use of long laterals and re-
Quires the shortest total length Of
main drains. No hard and fast rule
can be given for determining the size
Of the tile to be used. Drains should
be large enough to remove the sur
plus water before the crops are in
jured. 1t is better to use sizes too
large than too small, and no tile less
than four inches in diameter should
be used. On common dark silt loans
where the average rainfall is approx
mately SO inches, eight-inch tile having
fall of two inches to 100 feet will
provide outlet drainage for 40 acres /;
seven-inch tile for 80 acres. six-inch
tile for 10 acres and four-inch tile for
six acres.
The proper depth for drain tiles de-
Ponds upon the soil and varies from
two to four feet. In heavy silt loans
the depth should be from two to three
feet. In this case the laterals should
be placed from 80 to 40 feet apart. In
open soils that give up water readily,
and where the drains are three to four
feet deep, the laterals may be from so
to $50 feet apart. In the more porous
soils the space may be even greater.
Secure Proper Fall.
The drainage should have fall of
NOT less than ono inch m 100 foot if
possible and greater fall than this is
very desirable. Where little fall Is OBJ
tanned, particular care must be taken
to secure proper grade. The drain
age ditch should be started at the out
let and it's course should follow line

SMALL NATIONS
Still war HOT
Ban on Battles Would Cool Sit
uation in Holland, Belgium
and the Balkans.
BY FRANK w. ROSTOCk,
Editor The Cincinnati Post,


Amsterdem, Holland. Dec. 23.-It is
difficult for an American to realize
what league of nations, which would
make war a relic of a dark and savage
era, would mean to the nations of
Europe.
This applies especially TO the small
nations which are in constant fear of
each other and of the larger coun-
tries.
Conflicts are still being waged in
several quarters and some of the
smaller nations are ready to spring at
each others throats.
Belgium, a .war-riddled nation, seeks
to control the mouth of the Schedlt
river outlet to the sea from Antwerp.
It is controlled at the mouth by the
Dutch a serious inconvenience to Bel
gium That nation feels it would grow
commercially If the complete control
of the river passed into it's hands.
The Dutch, Of course. are up in
arms against a change. Holland OBJ
jects, to relinquishing any territory,
and does not care to give UP COM
mercia1 advantages.
There is much feeling against the
BeIgians. The Dutch point out that
during the war they bsfriended Bel
gium in many ways. And now, they
say, Belgium wants TO forget this
fact.
In one of the large cities of Hol-
land I talked to a German who had
fought on the Russian front.
Germany must revenge itself on
France, he said. I'VE have no great
feeling against the EngIishers' or the
| l.Amerikaners.' but we must chase the
French off German soil.''
