How Mach Tile Per Acre

drains are only needed wuvre water

has to be drawn off.' But when thla la

Iowa ao much dryer and bettor fitted
for cropping that tha farmer sees that
even the uplands, that h.d been sup
posed dry enough, need drnlulng also.
Usimlly the first drains nre put in too
shallow. That, if continued, means a
large useless expenditure for tile. No
where should underdralns be dug less
than three feet deep. They will then
drain perfectly two to two and a iio.lt
rods on each side of the undtirdraln.
The soil will hold so much mora water
with a deep drain that It will sot re

one.
Car for Transp'aated Trees.
. Thousands of dullara are every year
wasted by neglect of proper care for
trees that have been transplanted.
The moat common cause of this la lu
the Idea that plenty of water applied to
the roots can be made a substitute for
frequent cultivation. Newly trans
planted trees really need little water
on the soil. The roots of newly planted
trees cannot at once begin to supply
plant food from the soil They need
time and contact with moist soil, but
not too wet, before new rootlets can
put forth. To keep the soli sodden with
water while the roots are In this semi-
dormant condition Is to rot them. .Less
water with thorough surface cultiva
tion, to keep the surface soil loose and
prevent rapid evaporation, la what Is
needed. If water la applied it should
be tn moderate amounts, and often by
spraying so aa to keep the buds from
withering until the roots can supply
them with moisture. i
Grain Fields,
Go through the grain, walking be
tween the grain drills, and cut out the
rye, cockle, garlic and other weeds.
This should be done early, before the
wheat heads out An acre can be gone
