drainage of farm land pay this question- may be even more significant now when their farms might be sold tome time in the near future four farmers have cooperated with the halton soil and crop improvement association in draining one portion of a field and keeping records of yields on the drained versus the undrained sections this year the average yield or grain com on the four drained areas was 982 bushels per acre compared to 757 bushels per acre on the undrained area the moisture content of this com was three per cent lower on the drained sections this is a good indication of the value of systematic tile drainage on our heavy clay toils a new type of tile-plat- ft ticwhlch it available fn long rolls is being installed throughout ontario this could greatly reduce the labor of installing tile many fanhers could use surface drainage to advantage this would involve open ditches grass waterways and water furrows etc t mcgees holstein tops in butterfat a purebred holstein
