DRAIN THING BEST

Drain tiles laid from three to four
feet deep in fiat lands or under the
sloughs is the only safe way of insur-
ing a crop against excess water, says
r. l.. Patty, extension engineer at the
State college.
The best depth to lay them will de
pend upon the texture of the soil in
each individual case. The shallower
the tiles are laid the closer the lines
of lateral tiles must be installed to
make the ground fit for cultivation in
reasonable time of heavy arin.
The fine thing about tiles is that
they are busy working ahead of the
next rain, providing a reservoir under
the ground that will take up large
amount Of water from the following
rain before any of it will show up
above the surface Of the ground.
In the average soil it is safe to fig
ure that tile will completely drain the
soil for distance of one rod on each
side of the line for each foot in depth.
The extension division of State col
lege is cooperating with the county
agents in tile drainage work on farm
systems.

il and take action on it at a special
this meeting Che county boards OF

jcct A joint meeting was planned
last Tuesday but the Moody county of
ficials were unable to attend so the
meeting was postponed until July.
Last Friday the county commission
ers along with the city engineer, J. p

ing over conditions in the valley. They
waded around in the mud and water
until they gained a definite idea of
what was needed and the importance
and magnitude of the project. They
Investigated the place in the river
where a farmer has put in ditch
which cuts off one Of the big bends in
the river and found that the water
was flowing over the banks Of the
ditch and was running west into the
lowland where the proposed ditch is
to be dug 1t scem"1 te them an argu-
ment favoring the proposed ditch west
Of the river rather than the plan of
cutting off the bends in the river as
recommended by the opposition. Since
