Good Duck Hunting Prospect

Perre, S. ID. June 13, 1920.-The
wild ducks which have remained in
thousands of the many ponds and
sioughs of the state this year are
reported to be matching and taking
their young broods out to the water.
Some of these birds nest fully a half
mile from the nearest slough or pond
c1ncealing their nests in tufts of
grass or weeds, and hurry the young
to the water as soon as they are
Matched The outlook Is for a bot Of
young ducks ready for the hunter
at the opening of the eason this fall,
as the indications are hat a great
pumber of ducks remaining in this
state for the summer than fol- any
former year, and the fall hu nting
should be great.

Drain Thing Insures
Crop Against Excess Water

Bookings, s. ID. June 24.-Drain
tiles laid from three to four feet deer
in fiat lands or under the sloughs is
the only safe way Of insuring a crop
against excess water, says r. L. Patty
extension engineer at 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 70
make the ground fit for cultivation In
a reasonable time after a heavy rain.
The fine thing about tiles Is that
they are busy working ahead of the
Eext rain, providing a reservoir under
the ground that will take-up a large
amount of water from the following
rain before any Of IL will show-up
above the surface OF the ground.
In the average soil 1t is safe to fig
ure that tile will completely drain the
soil for a distance Of one rod on each
side of the line for each foot in depth,
The extension department OF State
college is cooperating with the coun-
ty agents in tile drainage work on
farm systems.
