Editor Times:—Complying with your request for a letter on farm drainage, I herewith give you some of my experiences and ideas. In a way I have been urging the vast benefit to be derived from tiling ever since I have been in Bates county. Until within the last three years it was not possible to get tile in our county in less than car load lots at a price that would permit their use. Tile until the past six months could be had at Rich Hill as cheaply as they could be bought most anywhere. I regret to say prices have now been advanced but not to a prohibitive price. However, any two or three farm- ers could club together and get a car load and get prices that would be rea- sonable either from the Rich Hill fac- tory or the factory at Creighton, Mo. A car load of tile does not go so far, but that most any farm in Bates coun- ty needs one or possibly several car loads. Some of our farmers hesitate about tiling, because they say it takes sometime for the tile to get to doing full service. Our esteemed friend P. J. Jewett raised that objection to til- ing in a discussion of the matter with him at one time, and I replied that if that were true, it was all the stronger reason why it should be gotten in the groundvearlier. I think it is true that the full benefit of tiling in our Bates county uplands is not realized for possibly two to four years, but it is an important fact that we get imme- diate results and that these beneficial | results increase until the tile does all it is possibl: for it todo. The State University of Illinois has investigat- ed tiling layed in real hard pan, and found at the end of five years the tile was giving complete relief, although for the first three years very little ford to farm Jand not underdrained. the mud, and that means to raise enough.
