THE DRAINING SUBJECT.
If there is any one subject that
the farmers of the Willamette
valley need, above all others, to
study, that subject is the drainage
of lands.
In localities where the matter
has received attention it has been
demonstrated beyond a denial that
crops are accelerated in growth
and yield by it more than any
other agency that can be employed.
.Indeed, wherever it has been thor
oughly tried.' it has proved to be
the most paying investment that a
farmer can put on to his land.
The lands of this country re
quire the drainage system, per
haps, mere than any other locality,
not alone because of the excessive
rain fall here, but also on account
of the dry season that folio s, for
it is an established fact that under
drains not only draw off the super
fluous water in the wet season, but
they also supply moisture to the
land by admitting the atmosphere
through it during the dry season.
The atmosphere during the dry
season is laden with moisture,
though not to the extent to cause
precipitation, and by furnishing
means for it to permeate the soil,
it deposits its moisture by conden
sation in the air coming in contact
With the Cool soil, thus imrart:,,,,!

We are glad to note from the
Evening Telegram that the farmers
in Washington county are largely
experimenting in tile drainage,
and suspect that our old typograph
