The remedy, of eonrse, Ts provide drains to remove the gfchfiid wider quickly. ‘ . The only kind of water which the roots can use Is the capillary water. When this is present In the right amount, It fills about half of the Unites between the aoll particles. The the rest are tilled with sir. The water easily dissolves plant food from the soil grains which it surrounilT Thus the two essentials for rapid root de velopment, air and plant food, are present In the pi-oiicr amounts and in a readily available furw. As fast as (he water Is taken up by the roots more is brought up by capillarity from the supply in the subsoil In the man ner noted in article No. 2. The place where the capillary water Joins the ground water is colled the water table. If this water talffe Is too high, the feeding ground of the roots U greatly restricted, alucc they cannot go below it.

A mistake—mhde more freqnenUy than that of not putting the drains in deep enough is that of using too stun!) tile. The character of the soil, the fall and the amount of surface drained arc..— the factors which largely determine the proper size to use. Almost every book or bulletin of tile drainage.gives tables for figuring the size »f tile re quired under various conditions. If there Is any doubt it alw ays pays To get u size too large rather than a size too small, even If the cost Is a little more. It i» usually better to let the job of tiling to u contractor rather than to ttl- terapt to do It yourself. There are re liable tilers In almost every local it y- i’| who can lie depended upon to Iny the tile to grade nt:d do a first class job tn every particular. Only the hard burn ed tile should be used. These will last for^a lifetime or longer If properly put In. When tile go Within fifteen or twenty feet of trees the joints should ke cemented.
