to spill over the sides of it max
ing the ground wet and muddy
as well as causing erosion at the
base of the tank. This was the
problem.
After toying with the problem
for couple of days, Mr.. Ogle
came up with simple solution
on the plugged pipe problem.
The solution amounted to
placing three-foot piece Of
wn-spout, with large notch
at the lower end, down over the
outlet pipe. The water enters at
the bottom of the piece of down
spout and rises to the top of the
outlet.
When and if the leaves sink,
a hole midway up may com
plete the answer to the problem
of leaves in the stock water tank.
Thanks, Mr.. Harley Ogle.
