WELL DRAINED (Continued from page 1.) cated three or four times, each time larger and better. Most of the ditches of recent years are tile ditches. The largest tile used is the twentyfour inch, manufactured by the Krick, Tyndall Co. A few years ago a minister drove through Monroe township to Linn Grove remarked that the low swamp land was not worth anything, and could never be cultivated. Today this same land sells for S9O or SIOO per acre, showing what enterprising farmers and plenty of ditch law can do.

Even the vegetable mold mixed with earth as found in swamps, commonly known as muck land, makes the choicest onion farms. The proceeds of one forty acre onion farm in 1906 was four thousand dollars. One of the largest located ditches of the county is the Holthouse ditch reconstructed at a cost of $6,000 and benefiting fifteen thousand acres of land. Very recently the Lob ditch has been re-constructed, costing Adams and Jay counties thirty-two thousand dollars. We might mention scores of other splendid ditches if space permitted. But from this we can see the progress that has been made since the swampy days of the swampy past. Every section of land is tillable now, made so by drainage into the proper watercourses. It is estimated that there are two thousand miles of ditches in the county constructed at a cost of one million dollars. The history of pioneer life usually presents the dark side of the picture; but nevertheless, those were palmy days according to the “older heads.” Probably the young folks enjoy themselves as much or even more at the present time, but the older ones will not admit it. Times have changed; they will ever change, but there will always be those who will cling to the cherished days of long ago and who may recall times which in the telling will make one regret that he did not live then instead of facing a future that appears prosaic at the best.

OBITUARY. Abraham Welty was born on Crooked Run, Tuscarawas county, Ohio, November 8, 1836. Departed this life April 27, 1907. In Union township, Adams county. Indiana, aged 70 years, 6 months and 19 days.
