Lexington, Ky. The cost Of drain

can almost be paid for by the crop in

the tile are put in, according to re-
suits obtained during the summer just
past by w. G. Duncan, who is coop

ton OF the College of Agriculture In
carrying out drainage demonstration
on his farm near Luzerne, Mullen

the crop OF cowpea hay from each acre
Of the drained area this year was val
ne dat $2S,SS more than that from each
acre OF the undrained section. The
drainage system therefore lacks only
1914 an acre OF having paid for itself.
The field being used In the demon
stration contains about 20 acres, IL
OF which were drained. The other nine
acres had better soil on them and since
they were not as wet rs the eleven
acres, they were left undrained 30 that
the yields from the drained part Of the
field could be compared with those
from a part fthe same field that was
not drained. The system was put in
during this last spring, all the
trenches for the tile being dug by
hand. The cost of $500 an acre for
putting in the tile probably could have
been reducved had some of this work
been done by machinery. Immediately
after the drains had been put In. the
entire 20 acres was treated with acid
whosphate, which was applied at the
rate OF 200 pounds an acre. and the
field planted TO cowpeas.
When the cowpeas we're cut this fall.
it was found that the undrained part
OF the field yielded 1859 pounds OF
cowpea hay an acre while the drained
part OF the field yielded $3.50 pounds
OF hay an acre, or 1892 pounds more
an acre than the undrained area This
increase in the yield was valued at
