dead furrow will
help drain lands
A permanent system of
plowing low, wet bottom land
can be followed which will
materially lessen drainage
problems according to H. K.
Thatcher, district farm dem
onstration agent with the Ag
ricultural Extension Division.
Land plowed in narrow,
parallel lands, back furrowed
! to the center, giv&s a dead
furrow running the length of
the field to carry off the sur
plus water. The lands should
be wide enough to carry from
3 to 5 rows of planted crops.
Even the first year, that this
system of plowing is follow
ed,it will be noticed that the
drainage is much better, but
after two or three years the
lands become well rounded i
and drainage will be good.
When the back furows are
made, a ditch will have to be
constructed at the end of the
field to carry off the water.
The usual method of plow
ing around the field and
throwing the dirt to the fence
! causes a bank to be formed
! around the fiejd and leaves a
low place in the center. This
makes good drainage impos
sible.
