In Shanghai the mud carried through the storm sewers intoSoochow creek we saw being removed in the same manner during theintervals when the tide was out. In still another field, seen in Fig. 93, the upper portion showswhere canal mud had been applied at a rate exceeding seventy tonsper acre, and we were told that such dressings may be repeated asoften as every two years though usually at longer intervals, ifother and cheaper fertilizers could be obtained. In the lowerportion of the same illustr...ation may be seen the section of canalfrom which this mud was taken up the three earthen stairways builtof the mud itself and permitted to dry before using. Many such linesof stairway were seen during our trips along the canals, onlyrecently made or in the process of building to be in readiness whenthe time for applying the mud should arrive. To facilitatecollecting the mud from the shallow canals temporary dams may bethrown across them at two places and the water between eitherscooped or pumped out, laying the bottom bare, as is often done alsofor fishing.
