The farmer cannot Influence the
amount of rainfall, of course. After
the rain haa fallen, however, It be
longs to him to do with as he sees fit
The way he handles it from this time
on determines to a large extent the
size of the crop he will harvest when
fall comes.
The first problem Is to 6et Hd of the
surplus ground water quickly, and the
aecond is to waste as little of the cap
illary water as possible. An endeavor
should be made to lower the water
four feet below the
surface as soon as possible after each

This is the third class, or Wuip
moisture. This, of course, Is of no
ralue to the plant, since the roots
cannot extract moisture from an nlr
dry soil. Neither can tney use me

the roots cannot get enough air.
During a rain the ground water

are placed the farther they will draw.
Tile are usually piaceu

many instances four would be better.
The extra cost of digging the ditch a
foot deeper is something of an objec
tion, but is balanced ny ""-
the lines of tile do not need to be as
close together. Deep tile are not as
easily displaced by freezing, and a
deeper feeding ground for the roots is

'.. mitHnr the drains in
deep enough Is that of using too , .maU
tile. The character oi me
and the amount of surface drained are
the factors wbicn largely U
the proper size to use. Almost every
book or bulletin of tile drainage gives
tables for figuring tne size
oulred under various conditions. If
there is any doubt It always pays to
get a size too lnrfre rather than a size
too small, even if the cost Is a little
more. . -
It Is usually better to let the Job or
tiling to a contractor rather than to at
tempt to do it yourself. There are re-..-,.1-

will find their way through the joints
and fill up the drains to such an extent
that the flow of water will be cut off.
The most Important part of a drain
age system is the outlet. The tile
should empty into a stream if possible.
Water should not be allowed to stand
over the mouth of the outlet if It can
be avoided, as this checks the current
and causes the drain io piu,

too high, tho feeding ground of the
roots is greatly restricted, since they
cannot go below It. If, on the other
hand the water table Is too deep,
capillarity cannot bring the water up
as fast as It is used by the roots.
In dry weather the water table low
