Tile Users Through County
Increase With Machine Aid
To Ditching Now Available
Dallas Thousands of feet of tile has been laid during
the past two years on some of the most prominent farms of
the county. Crops just harvested off of these tiled lands
snow that their owners have profit-
ed a great deal from this work.
The laying of tile on many farms
has been put off from time to time
because of the difficulty in getting
the tile put in properly. A little
over a year ago O. M. Partridge,
tile manufacturer of Monmouth,
purchased a mechanical ditch dig
ger which greatly speeds .up the
work of laying the tile. Partridge
has taken contracts with the vari
ous farmers for the installing of
drainage systems on their farms
enabling them to get the work done
efflclentyl and cheaply. As a re
sult, hundreds of thousands of feet
have been laid.
J. A. Campbell of Perrydale, B. G.
Fanning of Balston and John B.
Stump of ' Monmouth are three
farmers who have had large drain
age systems Installed on their places
in the past two years, Fanning hav
ing some 60,000 feet laid on his
place and Campbell putting in 15,
000 and on the Stump place many
thousands of feet were also laid.
Campbell reports that his 15,000
feet of tile cost him 1,500 in the
ground but this high cost was due
to the need of putting in a great
deal of 12 inch tile to carry run-off
water from adjoining farms. Fifty
acres benefited from this tiling
work. In commenting on the bene
fits from the tiling Campbell stated
that he never grew much of any
think on 15 acres of the SO acre
field and this past year he got an
excellent crop of fall grain, wheat
showing up the best in the. ground
that was the poorest before drain
age. "Even at the cost of (1,500 it
will pay men 10 per cent on my in
vestment this year," stated Camp
bell. In another field Campbell has
watched the benefits from tile'
drainage for 10 years and is firm
ly convinced that it pays.
On his farm north of Rlckreall
Webb put In 10,000 feet of tile two
years ago before Partridge sot his
machine. This tile Is in a 40 acre
field and was installed at a cost of
(750. Lewis states that this tile
completely reclaimed three acres for
fall grain. "It is difficult to esti
mate how much I am benefitted,
but a good deal. I consider tiling
an absolutely good Investment,"
stated Lewis. Another field on the
Lewis place that has been tiled is
changed over from a spring field to
on? that is suitable for fall seeding.
Just east of Derry station along
the Hawthorne highway, F. E.
Pence is Installing the first unit of
a very complete drainage system
on the Dr. Flndley farm. Already
some 25,000 feet of tile are in the
ditches ready to cover.- This tiling
'project was outlined by the state
college extension service last win
ter. Pence stated that on his place
where It is necessary to put the tile
so close together it is costing in the
neighborhood of (40 an acre for the
tile in the ground.
It is Pence's intention to put in
drain tile on much of the front tier
of fields along the highway but
there is some doubt as to the suc
cess of tiling the ground, that lays
back next to Basket slough because
of the soil type.
Almost without exception the til
ing work is being done to change
fields so that they can be used for
fall seeded crops and for the seed
ing of red clover which is so neces
sary in the rotation on Polk county
farms to maintain their fertility. A
little' tile in some fields would dry
up spots that would enable the own
er to get on the field In almost any
season of the year. These wet spots
keep him from preparing the rest of
the ground untU they have dried
out and that makes the other
ground too late.
MRS. MORITZ ILL
Jefferson Word has ben rceelved
of the serious Illness of Mrs. B. J.
Moritz at the home of her daugh
ter, Mrs. Harry Bosch at Brooks.
The Moritz family formerly resided
for many years on their farm one
and a half miles north of Jefferson
on the Marlon road.
EXPERIMENTAL WATER
SYSTEM HAS SUCCESS
Hazel Green Will Penney, who
has been experimenting with an
overhead irrigation project on two
acres of cucumbers reports that the
experiment is proving a decided suc
cess. So far more than 16 of cu
cumbers have been delivered aver
aging (33 to the ton. Mt. Angel

cukes are delivered unsorted, the
plant doing the sorting this year.
Penney, estimates that barring an
