Tile Drainage

Some of the best opportunities for sol
improvement in Morgan County lie In
under-drainage by tiling. The process
Of improving upland soil is slow at the
best, requires a number @ ars, while
the marked increase In resulting
from the drainage of wet lowlands,
which would otherwise be non-product-
i've is Immediately and lasting In fact
under-drained land seems to become
more productive from year to year as
the good effect Of the tiling becomes
more apparent.
1t Is well known that the most fertile
soils in the country are found in the
bottoms along the streams. If not
too wet, the lowest points In the bot
tom are the most productive, because
they have drawn fertility from the
higher ground for a longer time than
other points. Yet, one cannot ride
far along the bottom lands of a
stream In the cot nty without findi'.p
a large area of land virtually E)r I'-O-
ductive, only because 1t is too wet for
plants to thrive in 1t. The physical
condition of wet land is poor, and In
addition to being compact and hard
to work, 1t is always either too wet or
too dry. After drainage, such land
gradually graduates and becomes
crumbly, holding more water in the soil
from native materials, their expense as
gradually as needed by the plants.
We do not long need to theOrize over
the advantages to be derived from tile
drainage, because there are number Of
areas Of fertile farming land In the
county made so be the practice, and any
one may see for himself whether Il
pays Those who have tried 1t say that
1t does
Many types of tiles are manufac-
tured from several different mater
ials, the most common ones being the
clay or cement tiles. While perhaps
somewhat more lasting than tiles made
from native materitls, their expense as
delivered on our farms is too great
1t Is much better to make our tiles
out of lumber, of which we have ar
abundance. The usual method Of
making tiles from lumber is very sim
pie. Planks 1 inch thick are nailed
together at right angles, forming a
V'shaped trough exactly like the ordi.
nary hog trough. II n larger tile Is
desired, wider planks are used. These
troughs are placed in the ditch In an in
verted position and overlapped slight.
ly where they join. to form contln-
uous drain. Tiles made in this way
are inexpensive, easily made and quick.
ly laid.
The chief expense In draining land
is In the cutting of the bitches
Many attempts are made to drain wet
land by cutting the bitches and leaving
them open, but such system never
completely rlds the soil of It's excess
water, and 1t wastes a great deal Of
land where the bitches run and make
1t almost impossible to use machinery
to advantage. Where anyone has gone
to he expense Of cutting open bitches
1t will surely pay to lay tiles and
cover them so that the entire surface
Of the field may be cultivated.
