TO PBOPLB, BARNWELL, 8. 0 DRAINAGE HELPS YIELD OF CROPS How to Plan and Install a Profit* Paying System on a Valua* • ble Fertile Farm. fU MS ME nVOIEI BIG CORN CONTEST IS NOW ORGANIZED Sixty-Five Counties in Indiana Have Been Enrolled. Where Money Is Not Available to Drain All of Land, Start Where Profits Would Be Greatest—No Rule for Size of Tile. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) A Rood drainage system on a fertile farm that is not nnturafly well drained Is a permanent improvement which continues to pay dividends in the form of increased crop production. (City gardens and lawns frequently need drainage, and if properly * tiled, would be greatly improved.) Tile drains usually give more thorough drainage than open ditches. They occupy no land surface and do not in terfere with farming operations. If properly constructed they require al most no expenditure for maintenance. 1 Economic Arrangement. The ihost economic arrangement of the drainage system Is one that per mits the use of long laterals and re- 1 quires the shortest total length of main drains. No hard and fast rule can he given for determining the size of the tile to be used. Drains should be large enough to remove the sur plus water before the crops arc In jured. It la better to use sizes too < large than too small, and no tile less than four Inches In diameter should be used Ou common dark silt looms where tile average rainfall Is appeal- mutely 9t Inches eight-luch tile haetug • full of two Inches to 100 feet will provide outlet drainage far 40 acres; aevew loch tile for SO acres, alx turh e f nr 10 Demonstration to Shew Each Commun- v ity How Proper Methods of Planh Ing, Cultivation, Etc., Increase Yield of Crop. 4 (Prepared by the United States Depart- ' ment of Agriculture.) 7 Sixty-five Indiana counties have or ganized for the five-acre corn-growing contest* the biggest event of the kind heUT by any state, and indications are for the largest enrollment ever ob tained.

Under ordinary conditions tile should l)e laid and blinded or primed every day after the ditch is made. Any de lay in laying may cause Injury to the di(ch by rain , or by particles falling Into It. If the banks are likely to cave, the tile should be laid as fast as the ditch Is completed. The smaller sizes are laid from {he bank with a hook. Large sizes must be laid by hand from the bottom of the ditch. All misshaped and badly cracked tile should be discarded. If a tile does not Join closely with the preceding one, it should be turned over until it fits at the top. Cover all large cracks with pieces of tile or with cement. After the tile are laid and inspected they should he covered with a little dirt from the sides, which process is called priming, and left to settle. The purpose Is to hold the tile in position and prevent breakage when the re mainder of the ditch Is filled. After the tile are primed they may remain without injury for several days or un til all of the ditches afy ready for filling. If the soil Is close and It Is desirable to aid the water In reaching the tile quickly, the ditch can be par tially filled with straw or brush or with stones and pieces of brick If they are available. Under ordinary condltlona the ditch is most easily filled with a turn-plow equipped with a# evener 12 or 14 Inches long.
