In one Oregon county the presence
of black alkali rendered a trert of
land practically worthless, and one
of the owners called upon the county
agent to suggest a method of treat
ment. Drainage was recommended
with the suggeatlon that the trial be
made on a small but representative
plot. Because of high freight rates
on small shipments of tile, four acres
were drained at a rather high total
labor and material cost of $138.00.
The owner gives the following figures
on the operatiens:
(roo 1914. four acres 20 bushel
barley, or five buhels per acre.

In our mind and from these results
we firmly believe that tile drainage
Is an unqualified success. There ar
few Investments that pay ao well on
