Drainage Problems Discussed At Meet School bells tolled again for some 30 Adams county farmers at the county's agricultural extension school Wednesday afternoon at the Adams county Farm Bureau Coop building in Monroe. Dan Wersma, Purdue agronomist, and Don Sisson, extension engineer, dissected the county’s drainage problems, giving the farmers insight as to what causes good and poor drainage. The two ‘’teachers” also cited several examples of how to overcome ineffective drainage. Wersma told the group the history of the 1 and in the county, and how the various soil in the area affect drainage. He cited Hoytville Pewamo soils as poor drainage; soils, while listing St. Clair and Morley as being better adapted for good natural drainage. . Wersma also correlated the soil and drainage with erop yield, showing conclusively that better drainage on any soil increases crop yield. Percentages, depending on the crop and soil, ranged from 3 to 14 per cent increased yield. After a brief intermission, when Krick-Tyndall tile manufacturers provided refreshments of cold milk, Leo Seltenright, county agent, introduced the various dignitaries in the audience. ■Among those mentioned were Dan Fiechter. chairman of the 1 crops committee that sponsored the school, Herman Bulmahn. Ben Mazelin and Ben Gerke, of the soil conservation district. Sisson followed by illustrating with colored blocks just how the water table, sub-surface water level, and top surface water combine to damage crops. He also showed the optimum point for crop growing in this area, about three inches below the surface and from three to seven inches deeper. This is the point that water should be kept to allow best results for most Shy crop. This, of course, is dependent on the type of drainage. The optimum point mentioned by Sisson is dependent on the size

of the tile drains and the overflow drains used. Sisson also showed colored slides of both good and bad examples of farm drainage. He continually asked the group if anyone had one "like that.” In most cases, someone answered, and a discussion followed. He also listed the cost estimates of tile, tile with overflow, and open ditch drains, and gave the advantage and disadvantage of each. "Although the open ditch drain is the most economical for original cost, it also is the most expensive to maintain,” he said in explaining the relative merits of each. Being an engineer, Sisson heavily favored the tile with overflow drains. I Minor Collision Is Reported Near City* iV A minor collision occurred at 12 o’clock noon todpy on U.S. 224 about 4Vfe miles east of Decatur near Swygart's wrecking service, the Adams county sheriff’s department stated today.
