and Lnevenly distributed. Some
times we have six months of un-
broken sunshine, sometimes SIX
months of varying rain and sun
shine, rarely two days Of steady
rain. Yet often ON comparatively
fiji days great rains occur, leaving
ponds OF water that saturate even
Oar sandy soil to the exclusion Of
the air. But with the Sanford sys-
TEN we are benefited in these ways
Irrigation-The water from BE-
low ia kept sufficiently near the sur
face SO that capillary attraction
brings an ample supply within reach
Of the roots Of the plants and yet
allows OF plants thorough and con-
stans cultivation.
DlaiRage-The efficacy of tie
drainage Is too well known to need
discussion here. AS installed at
Sanford on our sandy, loamy soil,
nothing more can be desired. A
three inch rain one day is drained
rapidly enough to allow crops to be
plowed the next day.
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1920-08-14

notwithstanding the necessity
of air IN the soil, moments though
will convince one that sufficient rain
to saturate the ground will drive
out the air, because Of the greater
specific gravity Of water. On any
thing like level ground, unless there
are frequent bitches, the only escape
for the water Is by evaporation, and
in rainy weather where the humidi-
ty Is great this amounts to but little.
The ground dries slowly at the sur
face and as slowly allows the air
to enter. SO that sometimes for an
extended period 1t does not reach
the roots Of plants at all. In sub
irrigated ground, as soon as the tile
is empty CIR only party full Of water,
1t Is filed with air, and just as the
water from above drives out the air,
SO thu air from below permeates the
soil without delay. This action
warns the soil below and hastens
the growth Of plants after cold
weather.
So much for the Sanford system

the field. The tile Is in short joints
with us one foot in length-and
the water finds ingress or egress
at the joints. 1t discharges into a
waste ditch, and when the ground
is level and the flow of water not
too rapid it will be found that capt.
larry attraction supplies all the mo e.
ture needed, even for setting plants.
Most fields, however, are equipped
with top boxes at the lower end of
tile, and when the ground is much
broken these boxes are placed at in
tervais, damming the water up to
any level required, even to flooding
the ground.
Benefited in Three Ways.
By e, comparatively inexpensive
and permanent system of thing three
essentials OF successful farming are
omplished-irriga tion, drainage
and @ration. In the humid climate
OF Florida, where sixty inches Of
rainfall In the average, 1t Is hard to
say TO which OF these we are most
indebted. The rainfall is uncertain

of sub-irrigation. Let us look at
the results obtained. The system
was first used In 1898, and In that
year the first four car loads OF
celery were shipped from Sanford.
1t may be of interest to note that
these were the first carloads Of pro-
duce shipped in three years after
the great freeze of 1895, which de-
stroyed $500, 100000 worth of prop
erty IN one night in Florida. At
that time the artcsian lands around
SanforG-noW known as the San
for Celery Delta-were without
yalue and annually sold for taxes.
In 1899 q thousand acres were sold
for twenty-five cents an acre. Cn.
der cultivation some of these lands
have sold for $15OO.OO an acre, and
we count the output Of vegetables by
the hundred carloads. The estimate
ed output this season will exceed
1000 cars.
If more Is needed to tell the story
it is a fact that through this Celery
Delta, where fourteen years ago ]
and lay family were the sole inhabi-
tai now runs to handle trainloads
of vegetables; upon the track of this
road street cars are operated for
twelve miles, and hundred school
chil1ren are brought daily to the
public schools at the county's ex-
pense. Through this same terri
tory seven miles of vitrified brick
road will be laid this year.
Celery the Main Standby.
So far celery ha sheen and Is thu
great crop, with head lettuce close
second. These are planted in the
fall and grow all winter, as do cauli-
flower. cabbages, beets, peas, onions
and ali the harder vegetables. They
are followed in the spring by Gu
cumbars, beans, Irish potatoes, to-
matoes, squash, and so forth. These
in turn are followed by corn, sWee.
potatoes, rice, peas, peanuts and
other summer crops. Abundant
crops CT hay can be cut without
planting or care, beginning as early
as April and succeeded by crop after
crop until the land Is broken for
fall Planting. As yet the principa!
summer crop Is corn. 1t is planted
on the vegetable fields at small ax-
pensa, and without fertilizer yields
from fifty to one hundred bushels
an acre, worth twenty-five cents
bushei more here than in Chicago
became Of difference in freight.
The ccrn-sta,ks are p1owed under in
August or September and decay suf-
ficiently for the planting Of celery
in October.
This article would be incomplete
without the statement that by sub
irrigation the finest Strawberries are
grown. Vines planted in Septem-
Der yield continuous crop from
December until May, a six-month's
season.
ALL this and more Is ample proof
Of the value of sub-irrigation, dram
age ana aeration, and l am conf
dent that where advanced farming
is followed it Is worth the cost.
With ua that cost Is SLOGAN acre, in
Guiding an artesian well; and the
expense Is well repaid for drainage
and aeration alone where cheap
water cannot be obtained for irriga-
ton purposes.
